Parameters
ALPHA(n) |
CurrentDirectory |
Current directory. Output parameter. |
NUM_BIN_4 |
Len |
Variable length. CurrentDirectory (n). |
Note on Java support:
The VaToolBxGetCurrentDirectory functions returns the value of the 'user.dir' system property. Because this value cannot be changed (not supported by Java), VaToolBxSetCurrentDirectory is not supported with Java.
Note on Mobile support:
The concept of "current directory" does not exist with Windows Mobile. The VaToolBxGetCurrentDirectory function is emulated by the Mobile runtime, however. This means that the application's launch directory can be retrieved, enabling resources (e.g. a parameter file) to be located relative to this directory. Note, this is not the current directory; relative file names are always calculated relative to the root of the file system.
