relative path

[SoftToon]

I have a source file test.c in dir C:\temp\proj\ps12\
In that sourcefile i want to load a panel form dir
C:\temp\uir.
How can I make a relative path to the uir dir ?
I have treid "MakePathname" but that only adds a path to a current path.

try this:

hpanel = LoadPanel (0, "..\\..\\callback.uir", PANEL)) <= 0)

Hello,
In CVI 5.5 and above, you need to have the UIR file in the same directory as the executable, or you have to specify the full path for the uir file in the LoadPanel function, like:

LoadPanel(0, "C:\temp\uir", MY_PANEL);

I beg to differ but, I have CVI 6.0 and this works for me:

hpanel = LoadPanel (0, "..\\..\\callback.uir", PANEL)) <= 0)

Check your examples directory.....

Mmm... I suppose the absolute path for a uir file was required only in CVI 5.5, and not in 6.0. Thank you very much for correcting me.
