WinApi get Get Program Files directory

[cvirus]

Hello admn, i want to get the program files folder but i do not know how, i could use the fullpath in a string but i`m coding in a seven machine and when i trie in a xp machine the path isn?t the same and doesn?t work.

So i search from api stuff for a solution but i do not know if it works.

The function that i found was ->SHGetSpecialFolderLocation with a const CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES.

Does this work? :o

You can get the path from the registry:

dim reg as registry
dim key as string
key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionProgramFilesDir"
showmessage reg.readkey(key)

And can i pass that key to the comand run so that my app could invoque other program?

And can you give an font example so that i can change the font type and color?

Thanks
