C# to ABL - Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop - OpenEdge Development - Forum

Posted by Paul Mowat on 28-Apr-2016 09:05

Hi,

How would I convert the following to ABL

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);

I can only find System.Environment+SpecialFolder when looking in architect but it doesn't show any of the enum values.

Not sure how to deal with this in order to get the enum values. Also what does the + mean? I've not came across that before.

Thanks

Paul

You don't need the quotes.

MESSAGE System.Environment:GetFolderPath(System.Environment+SpecialFolder:Desktop)

VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFO BUTTONS OK.

Thanks Both. Is it just a case of architect not being clever enough to deal with it due to the + which is why no enums were shown with the assist?

The Architect is not clever at all.

+ is used for inner classes.

While you can't create those in ABL, they are supported for .NET
