Hi everybody,
I've just ran into a problem using the "Run" function. I thought I share
my experience. The "Run" function takes only one parameter, which is a
path. It could be a name of a file, or a complete path of an internet
address. The documentation writes that this function acts like the "Run"
dialog box in the Windows. But it is not mentioned that it could not
accept long file or directory names. It could accept only the old short
names. So if I want the directory "C:\Program Files" to open, I have to
give "C:\\Progra~1" as parameter. Interesting stuff... no comment..
Just a question: How is it possible to get the short name of a file or a
directory in JAWS Basic? Do somebody have any idea?
Thanks,
Csaba
