known-folders

I have a KNOWNFOLDERID and I would like to know the corresponding path like C:....\folder. KNOWNFOLDERID can be found here. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762584%28VS.85%29.aspx I d like to use win api (I don't want to build an array with all KNOWNFOLDERID and paths). Thanks Simply call the SHGetKnownFolderPath API function. Since this function was added in Vista, it won't be declared in the library units that shipped with Delphi 7. So you'd need to declare it yourself. type KNOWNFOLDERID = TGuid; function SHGetKnownFolderPath( const rfid: KNOWNFOLDERID; dwFlags: DWORD; hToken:

(Visual Studio 2010 / Visual C++ / Windows 7) example.cpp: #include <Shlobj.h> #pragma comment (lib, "Shell32.lib") ... void example() { SHGetKnownFolderPath(...) // undefined } I'm doing everything according to documentation and what I see in other threads, but it still doesn't work. I had exactly the same problem. Another project with the same code and ancillary files (but different includes) was working. Putting #include <Shlobj.h> at the top of the file solved the problem. It might not be replicable though, as it should have worked without doing that. Probably another Visual Studio bug.

I just created a new blank XAML/C# Windows Store app in Visual Studio. I tried to create a file in the Documents folder with this code: // DEBUG ONLY: StorageFile file = await KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary.CreateFileAsync("Hey lol.txt"); But it throws this exception (which I expected): WinRT information: Access to the specified location (DocumentsLibrary) requires a capability to be declared in the manifest. Which is fine. I expected it. So I go to Package.appxmanifest and go to Capabilities tab, and to my surprise, there is no "DocumentsLibrary" capability listed. How do I enable it if it's
