Guest Xpressive Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 I am working on a little SPV tool NOT using Visual Basic or C++, so I wonder how I could figure out the absolute windows path to the Smartphone device. Is it possible to use a 'hard coded' path here? Mike
Guest madu Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 Go to a folder, then Add Favourite.. - it creates a link to that folder, see that one maybe it helps

Guest madu Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 AFAIK an absolute Windows path uses RAPI functions (if I got that one right), but when from ActiveSync you go to a folder and then add that folder to favourites (on PC) it creates a link file to that. So if you open the file in notepad that may give you a clue on how to do so.
Guest Matt Kirby Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 You can't get Windows to create a shortcut to the SPV that will give you an absolute path. The only way to access the file system on the SPV is to do it progmaticaly using RAPI, which is a complete pain! For example, there is no copy-from-PC-to-device function, you have to open the source and target files individualy and copy the data between them. I'm currently trying to use RAPI with Delphi, and am not having fun. Maybe I should buy a Microsoft IDE....
