Problem retrieving ProgramFiles path

[Driek]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get the programefiles path but without succes. I tried it with:


TCHAR localised_path[MAX_PATH];
SHGetFolderPath(NULL, localised_path, CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES, 0);

but it said SHGetFolderPath and CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES are undeclaired identifiers

also I tried it with
TCHAR localised_path[MAX_PATH];
SHGetSpecialFolderPath(NULL, localised_path, CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES, 0);

It looks like you have your paramater list out of order.

TCHAR szPath[MAX_PATH];

if(SUCCEEDED(SHGetFolderPath(NULL, 
                             CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES, 
                             NULL, 
                             0, 
                             szPath))) 
{
    PathAppend(szPath, TEXT("New Doc.txt"));
    HANDLE hFile = CreateFile(szPath, ...);
}
