Hi,
I had developed an application in VS 2008 which uses ‘SHBrowseForFolder’ method of shell32.dll for browsing of files as well as folders. i.e. I can get path of folder only or path of file only as per requirement. I used it as following.
Private Declare Function SHBrowseForFolder Lib "shell32" (ByRef lpbi As BrowseInfo) As Integer
Every thing works fine when I run my application in 32 bit OS (i.e. Win XP) and also in 64 bit OS (Window 7 x64) after compiling it using ‘Target CPU’ option to ‘X86’, but when I compile it after setting ‘Target CPU’ option to ‘Any CPU’, the ‘SHBrowseForFolder’ function throws following exception in 64 bit OS (i.e. Windows 7 x64) i.e.
“Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt”
I get Browse methods and able to Browse File or Folder individually but fails to Browse them simultanously.
How I can use same API for 64 bit OS? And if it is not possible then what can be its alternate?
Thanks in advance.
