Win32 API for determining if a path is relative or absolute?

Question

Is there a win32 function that will tell me if a path is relative or absolute?

Thanks,

Answer 1

As jeffamaphone said: You can use the Shlwapi function PathIsRelative() to determine of a given path is relative or absolute.

But I thought I'd add that you can easily convert a Relative Path to an Absolute Path using _fullpath(), and from an Absolute Path to a Relative Path using PathRelativePathTo().

Hope this helps!

PathIsRelative()
