Get window path

[Artem]

How to retrieve a path of opened Windows Explorer window?

Is this what you want?

Private Declare Function GetWindowsDirectory _
Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetWindowsDirectoryA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal nSize As Long) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Dim strFindWinDir$, WinDir$
    WinDir$ = Space(144)
    strFindWinDir$ = GetWindowsDirectory(WinDir$, 144)
    WinDir$ = Trim(WinDir$)
    MsgBox WinDir$
    
End Sub

Hmmm... this code is not actually what am I looking for, but I found it useful, thanx. The thing that I am asking about is how to get the directory that is being viewed in Windows Explorer window; for example, by using window handle I want to be able to see which directory is shown in that particular window.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal _
lpWindowName As String) As Long

Private Declare Function GetWindowTextLength Lib "user32" _
Alias "GetWindowTextLengthA" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32" _
Alias "GetWindowTextA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpString _
As String, ByVal cch As Long) As Long


Public Function GetWindowTitle(ByVal hwnd As Long) As String
   Dim l As Long
   Dim s As String

   l = GetWindowTextLength(hwnd)
   s = Space(l + 1)

   GetWindowText hwnd, s, l + 1

   GetWindowTitle = Left$(s, l)
End Function



Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Dim cabinetwclass As Long
    cabinetwclass = FindWindow("cabinetwclass", vbNullString)
    MsgBox GetWindowTitle(cabinetwclass)

End Sub
