Get the Short Path Name



Get the Short Path Name

There comes a time when you just don't want a long file name.   I myself had experienced some problems with my midi code because it wasn't working with long filenames.  All you need to do is pass the long file name to the GetShortPathName API and it will return the short name.

Place this code in a .bas module

Option Explicit

Public Declare Function GetShortPathName Lib "kernel32" _
	Alias "GetShortPathNameA" _
	(ByVal lpszLongPath As String, _
	ByVal lpszShortPath As String, _
	ByVal cchBuffer As Long) As Long

Public Function GetShortName(sFile As String) As String
	Dim sShortFile As String * 67
	Dim lResult As Long

	'Make a call to the GetShortPathName API
	lResult = GetShortPathName(sFile, sShortFile, _
	Len(sShortFile))

	'Trim out unused characters from the string.
	GetShortName = Left$(sShortFile, lResult)

End Function

Now place this code in the Form_Load event

Private Sub Form_Load()

	Debug.Print GetShortName(App.Path)

End Sub
