Get/SetCurrentDirectory

Hi!

Is there anything similiar to GetCurrentDirectory and SetCurrentDirectory on Pocket PC (currently running Windows Mobile 2003, second edition)? I need to retrieve the working directory primarily, and secondarily be able to change it.

Thanks in advance,

Nille

Windows CE (and Windows Mobile which is based on CE) does not have a notion of “current directory” so you can not get/set it. Please use a full paths instead.

Ok, thanks! Can I at least get the application directory (i.e. the directory from which the app was started)?

Thanks in advance,

See here:-

Or for native code use GetModuleFileName API

Just curious as to why the method is in the CE framework, but not supported? Why not just leave it out?
