Hi LC specialist,
I need to get the application executable name and path of the runtime version of my application with code in that same application.
I need this for a button with which the user can place the application into de Auto Start Menu of windows.
Cannot seem to find information about this.
Anybody some clever ideas
Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,
on Windows do this in the mainstack, the one that you create the runtime from:
Code: Select all
...
put the filename of me into the_long_path_to_this_application
...
Will return the name of the EXE and its full pathname.
Best
Klaus

Thanks Klaus,
I used:
Code: Select all
put the effective filename of this stack into tApplicationAndPath
Could this have worked also in the standalone?
Regards,
Paul

Hi Klaus,
Your suggestion throws me the following error : 'card "Main Card": execution error at line n/a (Object: object does not have this property)'
Am i missing something here?

Yes, in a cardscript
ME = the
CARD, so "... of this stack" will do.
