Alright so I have no control over where the users choose to save my App so I cant use directory's. I know how to do this in C# but I really need to know how to do it in either Delphi or VB. Preferably Delphi.


Here's the code I created in C#

To get the application path in Delphi do

there is no rest, just add whatever the file name is to the end of that string and run

im failry sure there is an easier way in C# too, that looks odd

Not sure if this is what you want.

GetModuleFileName returns the path + filename for the calling executable. Simply make the string shorter by a length of what how long the filename is. This returns path.

Then use CreateFile (check return of it) or the function from shlwapi.dll (forgot its name right now) to check whether the file to open is present.

There's also GetCurrentDirectory

See this thread for why it is preferable to use GetModuleFileName than GetCurrentDirectory :

Of course, both do work.

Usually when you supply only the file w/ extension, the API should look for it in the same folder.

[ups2000ups]

path := ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0))+'filename.exe';

[angerist]

I cant really use GetCurrentDirectory its really unstable. I have no control over where people put my app.

From what I remember of VB, App.Path works...
