Dll question

[StungStang]

Hi to all i'm trying to made this function: PathRemoveArgs in autoit, but this not work (it surely my fault). Here is my code:

#include <Array.au3>
$Path = '"C:\program files\TEST.exe" -nogui'
$d_call = DllCall("shlwapi.dll", "int", "PathRemoveArgs", "wstr", $Path)
If Not @error Then
_ArrayDisplay($d_call)
EndIf

That will always return the same path, but i want to know only the real path whitout it's arguments. How i can fix that?

Hi!

Look at

EDIT:

Use PathRemoveArgsW for Unicode string - "wstr", and PathRemoveArgs or PathRemoveArgsA for ANSI string - "str".

Thanks Yashied thanks a lot, but i've seen this: "This function should not be used on generic command path templates (from users or the registry)".

I'm currently reading from the values from startup key: (HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun"), then i read the file path and check if the .exe exists.

Do you suggest me to use this function or what?

Hi and thank you so much.

Well it works just fine.

#include <WinAPIEx.au3>

$Path = '"C:\program files\TEST.exe" -nogui'

$rtn = _WinAPI_PathRemoveArgs($Path)

If Not @error Then
  ConsoleWrite($rtn & @LF)
EndIf

Exit

Yes this surely work fine but the dubt is about that:

"This function should not be used on generic command path templates (from users or the registry)"

As i said before I'm currently reading the values from startup key: (HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun"), then i read the file path and check if the .exe exists.

If this function should not should not be used on the registry, there is a good alternative?

Hi!

[Andreik]

$sPath = '"C:program filesTEST.exe" -nogui'
MsgBox(0,"",PathRemoveArgs($sPath))

Func PathRemoveArgs($sPath)
     Local $aRet = DllCall("shlwapi.dll","none","PathRemoveArgs","str",$sPath)
     If @error Then
        SetError(1,0,False)
     Else
        Return $aRet[1]
     EndIf
EndFunc

Yes this surely work fine but the dubt is about that...

Do not care. Just a function does not return an error.
