Overview
The SetWorkingDirectory function sets the Windows default folder for a process or program (host program).
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
int = SetWorkingDirectory ( string path );
Parameters
path
A string containing a valid path.
Return Value
An int as ERROR_NONE (0) or a formatted error code.
Remarks
The Windows default folder (current working directory) as associated with the current process. It may be the directory from which the application was launched or it can be set using this function. The string returned contains a disk designator or UNC share name followed by the path.
Multi-threaded scripts should not rely on the current working directory as it can be changed during the execution of one thread; this interferes with the usage of the SetWorkingDirectory function in other threads and produces potentially undesirable behavior.
The host application does not use the working directory.
The SetWorkingDirecting and SetWorkingFolder functions are exactly the same. They are provided with different names since the term “folder” is used throughout Legato and Windows but “working directory” is commonly used in the command prompt and in other applications.
