GetFullPathFromProject
int GetFullPathFromProject (char simpleFileName[], char fullPathName[]);
Purpose
Gets the full pathname for the file you specify, if the file is in the currently loaded project.
You can use GetFullPathFromProject when your program needs to access a file in the project and you do not know what directory the file is in.
In a stand-alone executable, GetFullPathFromProject assumes that the file is in the same directory as the executable file.
Example Code
char *fileName;
char fullPath[MAX_PATHNAME_LEN];
fileName = "myfile.c";
if (GetFullPathFromProject (fileName, fullPath) < 0)
FmtOut ("File %s is not in the project\n", fileName);
 |
Note LabWindows/CVI does not report run-time errors for GetFullPathFromProject. |
|
Note MAX_PATHNAME_LEN is only reliable for ANSI single byte strings. For UTF-8 strings, call the IsUTF8PathLengthValid function to confirm that the file path is within the operating system character limit. |
