Showing abbreviated path for long paths

[Vishi Anand]

I need to show abbreviated path in my control, after the user selects a
file, as the path name can be longer than what I can display. I know there
is some API to do that. Does anyone remember?

Hello

Try GetShortPathName()

Thanks

GetShortPathName() takes a long filename and converts it to the DOS 8.3 format. E.g. "My Long FileName.doc" becomes "MYLONG~1.DOC".
