PA_Get4Dfolder (FolderPath)

ParameterTypeDescription
FolderPathchar *Pointer to a char buffer
Full path of the 4D Folder

Description

The routine PA_Get4Dfolder returns the long name of the 4D folder just as the 4D Command 4D Folder does.

By using the PA_Get4Dfolder routine to get the actual pathname to that folder, you ensure that your code will work on any platform running any localized system -- even if the path or the name of this folder changes in future versions of 4th Dimension.

See the 4D Folder documentation for more information about the folder content.

Example

Creating a full path to a private preference file in the 4D Folder.

   void CreatePrefFilePath ( char *pref )
   {
      // Get the path to the 4D Folder
      PA_Get4DFolder( pref );
      // Concat. the pref file name
      strcat( pref, "MyPuginPref" );
   }
