Re: Current working directory (aGetDirCurrent) change with Ateasy code

Hi,

I'm currently working with DLL driver for TRI machines that use "Current working directory" and  during initialization procedure changes it to:
"c:\etr5001TSII\"

With that path - all it's working OK

Unfortunately we have to add to this project ATeasy made DLL driver and when I run any of it's procedures - "Current working directory" changes to project path:
"d:\Project1\"

and with that change - the TRI driver give me error message that the path to some DLLs are not correct

My question:
Is it possible to change "Current working directory" with ateasy code? So that after using Ateasy made DLL I would change it back to "c:\etr5001TSII\" so the rest of the code would work ok?

Re: Current working directory (aGetDirCurrent) change with Ateasy code

Define a DLL library that uses kernel32.dll and a function called SetCurrentDirectoryA(sDirectory: bool). See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-setcurrentdirectory.

Call it before calling the initialize function.

Re: Current working directory (aGetDirCurrent) change with Ateasy code

Thank you - it worked!

I've added .NET driver: mscorlib and in code the first line was taking Current Directory
sCurrDir = mscorlib.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()

and at the end of all code in procedure/event it was setting the directory to the first one:
mscorlib.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(sCurrDir)
