MFC: GetCurrentDirectory function

Question

I know that GetCurrentDirectory() and SetCurrentDirectory() functions exist on the MFC framework, but I don't have a CFtpConnection object in my application. I have a simple CWinApp-derived class, and I would like to retrieve its working directory upon program startup. What's the easiest method to achieve this goal? Thanks in advance for the advices.

Answer 1

GetCurrentDirectory is a simple Win32 API function, so just call it like this:

TCHAR currentDir[MAX_PATH];
GetCurrentDirectory( MAX_PATH, currentDir );

Answer 2

I assume you are trying to get the directory where your .exe file is located instead of the current directory. This directory can be different from the current directory.

    TCHAR buff[MAX_PATH];
    memset(buff, 0, MAX_PATH);
    ::GetModuleFileName(NULL,buff,sizeof(buff));    
    CString strFolder = buff;
    strFolder = strFolder.Left(strFolder.ReverseFind(_T('\\'))+1);
