Type a page name and press Enter. You'll jump to the page if it exists, or you can create it if it doesn't.
To create a page in a module other than shlwapi, prefix the name with the module name and a period.
Declare Unicode Function PathCreateFromUrl Lib "shlwapi.dll" Alias "PathCreateFromUrlW" _
(ByVal url As String, _
ByVal path As System.Text.StringBuilder, _
ByRef pathLength As System.UInt32, _
ByVal reserved As Integer _
) As Integer
User-Defined Types:
None.
Alternative Managed API:
Dim myUri As String = "file:///C|/Temp/foo.txt"
Dim myResult As String = (new System.Uri(myUri)).LocalPath 'returns "C:\Temp\foo.txt"
Notes:
The pathLength will be at most MAX_PATH (defined in WinDef.h).
Returns an HRESULT.
Tips & Tricks:
Please add some!
Sample Code (VB winform):
Const MAX_PATH As Integer = 260
Private Sub pathFromUrlButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles pathFromUrlButton.Click
Dim sz As System.UInt32
Dim sb As System.Text.StringBuilder
Dim rc As Integer
sz = Convert.ToUInt32(INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH)
sb = New System.Text.StringBuilder(INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH)
Converts a Windows file/path to a URL. See also PathCreateFromUrl.
