The Infomercial King Challenge
-
I develop on Windows 98 using Visual Studio 6 I noticed that the code below will NOT create a link on Windows 2000. Since I do NOT have Windows 2000 I can't debug this code so i am wondering if anyone has a solution to how to get the code below to create a lInk on windows 2000? Where UINT uLinkLoc = CSIDL_DESKTOP; Is there a way to write a SINGLE class that can create a link on the Desktop in both Windows 98 and Windows 2000 without compiling 2 separate versions(one UNICODE and one ASCII)??? bool CInstall::CreateShortCut( LPCSTR lpszSourceFile, LPCSTR lpszSourceDir, UINT uLinkLoc, LPCSTR lpszDesc, bool IsFolder ) { HRESULT hResult = NULL; IShellLink* pShellLink = NULL; bool rc = false; LPCSTR lpszDestination = NULL; ITEMIDLIST *id = NULL; TCHAR szLinkLoc[MAX_PATH] = ""; TCHAR szShellPath[MAX_PATH] = ""; CString sLinkLoc; sLinkLoc.Empty(); CString sLink; sLink.Empty(); // Initialize IShellLink interface hResult = CoInitialize(NULL); // Get pointer to IShellLink Interface hResult = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ShellLink, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IShellLink, (void**) &pShellLink); if (SUCCEEDED(hResult)) { //Cache, Fonts, History, NetHood, Personal, Printhood, Programs, // Recent, SendTo, Start Menu, Startup, Templates, ShellNew if (uLinkLoc == CSIDL_APPDATA) { sLinkLoc = "AppData"; } else if (uLinkLoc == CSIDL_COOKIES) { sLinkLoc = "Cookies"; } else if (uLinkLoc == CSIDL_DESKTOP) { sLinkLoc = "Desktop"; } else if (uLinkLoc == CSIDL_STARTMENU) { sLinkLoc = "Start Menu"; } else if (uLinkLoc == CSIDL_STARTUP) { sLinkLoc = "Startup"; } else if (uLinkLoc == CSIDL_FAVORITES) { sLinkLoc = "Favorites"; } if (sLinkLoc.GetLength()>0) { GetShellFolderPath(sLinkLoc, szShellPath); sLink = szShellPath; } else { SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(NULL, uLinkLoc, &id); SHGetPathFromIDList(id, szLinkLoc); sLink = szLinkLoc; } sLink += "\\"; sLink += lpszDesc; sLink += ".lnk"; lpszDestination = (LPCSTR)sLink; if (IsFolder) { // Requies: #Include hResult = _mkdir(lpszDestination); // Clean up pShellLink->Release(); CoUninitialize(); if (SUCCEEDED(hResult)) { return true; } else { return false; } } IPersistFile* ppf = NULL; // Set path to shortcut target pShellLink->SetPath(lpszSourceFile); // Add Start Directory if(lpszSourceDir)

Hi, Thank you for at least offerring a suggestion, i appreciate it. I am unable to find the article you refer to? Can you provide a link to the article? Your product "Sonork" looks very interesting and I will have to check it out when i get a chance. why didn't you include a Peer-to-Peer file sharing system in it? I can get a minimum of $25 per 1,000 opt in email address per day if you generate opt in addressesfrom your customer base. Thank you again, and let me know where i can find your article. The problem is more interesting than I thought at first since I can get it to work if I compile with a UNICODE SWITCH turn on but then i would need 2 version of the code which is not acceptable or elegant.

Yo David, My posting to the wrong place was accidental.. chill out. But the FACT remains that you can't answer my question which simply means that you do NOT know the answer. Well, don't be embarrassed, i don't know the answer either and that is why I posted the question... so you are in good company my man.

I started, saw it was a programming question and moved on. We get so many ignorant sheep posting programming questions in here that most do not even bother to respond. The fact you then openly state it is arrogance and not ignorance that forces you to continue making a prat out of yourself is what drove me to contribute.
