Title: Expanded Local Path in Add-in
Post by: DigitalEd on September 03, 2008, 02:34:13 am

Hey all,
  With local paths setup correctly, how can an add-in get the expanded path that the local path setting maps to?

If I have %EA_CODE% map to c:\temp, how can I get my add-in to know that?
I'm using EA 7.0.

Try using GetEnvironmentVariable method.

The method "GetEnvironmentVariable" doesn't appear to work.

Any other idea in order to read/write the Local Paths variables via API?

That's very important for us!!!

Thks,

we do it by parsing

System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("USERPROFILE") + "\\Applications Data \\Sparx Systems\\EA\\paths.txt";

where these settings are stored.
