How can I get which .pf and .ini used in the current program?

[cybvek]

How can I get which .pf and .ini used in the current program? Because I would like to run another program but I want to use it as another process (through prowin32).

Thanx

Hi,

I do not think you can get this info (someone please correct me if I am wrong). Maybe it's an idea to pass it along to your startup procedure using the "-param" startup paremeter?

Hi,

CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F1 shows some environment settings (like ini file name). It might help you.

Don't know either... but you would know the ".PF" based on the command line used. The "INI" used would be the one registered in the registry.

You can force a differenct "INI" using the following parameters:
-basekey "INI" -ini n:\driverb\pro2.ini

We do this to control the different pathing for our different products.

Hi,

You can use Win32 API function called GetCommandLineA. This returns the command line you can extract any information. See details in KBase 21972:

thanks again
