cvocvo Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) I've been looking for a clean way to get the current path of a explorer window in Windows 7/Vista and have yet to come across anything. What I have found is a stellar solution for Windows XP: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=89833 Has anyone succeeded in getting this (above) script to work in Windows Vista or 7? I don't understand why it wouldn't work in 7 -- the class for an explorer window is still CabinetWClass. Any suggestions that might help get this working? Or any other solutions that might solve this problem?--I could always use @OSVersion and fork for XP and Vista/7. Thanks Edit: After thinking about this some more, I have something that will work. *Note: I haven't tested on Vista yet, only 7. ;;;This is the code that would go in your code, does the string analysis to get the path for $i = 1 to $var[0][0] If @OSVersion = "WIN_7" Then $string = _GetWindowsExplorerPath($var[$i][1]) $string = StringReplace($string, "Address: ", "") $string = StringSplit($string, @CRLF) MsgBox(0,"", $string[1]) ElseIf @OSVersion = "WIN_VISTA" Then $string = _GetWindowsExplorerPath($var[$i][1]) $string = StringReplace($string, "Address: ", "") $string = StringSplit($string, @CRLF) MsgBox(0,"", $string[1]) Else MsgBox (0, "", _GetWindowsExplorerPath($var[$i][1])) EndIf Next ;;This gets added to the function ;;It goes below this line: ;;If ($className[2] <> "ExploreWClass" And $className[2] <> "CabinetWClass") Then Return SetError(1, 0, "") If @OSVersion = "WIN_7" Then Return WinGetText($hWnd,"") If @OSVersion = "WIN_Vista" Then Return WinGetText($hWnd,"") Hopefully there's a less messy solution out there, but for now this seems like it could work.
