Hey there, I've created this little application which displays 3D-tiles and executes applications when I click on them (mainly because I don't want to have a lot of shortcuts on my desktop): When opening this application it fades in and uses the desktop wallpaper as background. My problem is that I can't make it user-independent because I can't use %appdata% in 3DGS. (The current background is always stored as "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper.jpg") Does anybody know how I can access this path with 3DGS? regards, Kartoffel

How about this??? #define PRAGMA_PATH "path"; A7.10 Looks for include and other files in the given path when they are not found in the current folder. This is similar to the PATH statement in a project file, with the exception that paths given by PRAGMA_PATH are also used for include files. Example: #define PRAGMA_PATH "%EXE_DIR%\Map-Editor\Scripts";

Thanks, but the problem is that Acknex doesn't recognize %appdata% as a path.

it doesn't recognize it at all ;P so it continues as if it were a path and tries to open the file -> file not found
