GOT THE FILE NAME!!!!!!!

but it is in DOS-format!!!!!! ???? !!!!!!!

(C:\progra~1\micros~1\file~1.cra)

why?

the richtextbox isn't able to handle this type of filename...

how to convert?

tell us how you got it?
and we'll see if we can help. :)

ok...

first i added a new file type and an action

open "c:\myprogramms\editor\editor.exe" "%1"

then, in vb, i added file = command()

the original filename was "C:\programs\file1.cra"

the file-string in vb contained "C:\progra~1\file1~1.cra"

API:

Public Declare Function GetFullPathName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetFullPathNameA" (ByVal lpFileName As String, ByVal nBufferLength As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal lpFilePart As String) As Long
