CONVERT DECLARATION FOR 64 BIT

Question

Good Morning

Can anyone help, please??  I need to adjust the following delare statement (Created in Access 2007 32 bit) for use on Access 2010 64bit (no they won't change to 32 bit - I've tried that!).  Can anyone give me the new code I need, or explain what I need to do?  Please...

Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDListA Lib "shell32.dll" ( _

    ByVal pidl As Long, _

    ByVal pszBuffer As String) As Long

Declare Function SHBrowseForFolderA Lib "shell32.dll" ( _

    lpBrowseInfo As BrowseInfo) As Long

Many thanks

Geoff

Answer 1

Try

Declare PtrSafe Function SHGetPathFromIDListA Lib "shell32.dll" ( _

     ByVal pidl As LongPtr, ByVal pszPath As String) As Boolean

Declare PtrSafe Function SHBrowseForFolderA Lib "shell32.dll" ( _

    lpBrowseInfo As BROWSEINFO) As LongPtr

You also need to change the declaration of the BrowseInfo type:

Type BROWSEINFO

    hOwner As LongPtr

    pidlRoot As Long

    pszDisplayName As String

    lpszTitle As String

    ulFlags As Long

    lpfn As LongPtr

    lParam As LongPtr

    iImage As Long

End Type

    lpBrowseInfo As BrowseInfo) As Long
