Type: LPTSTR
A pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the path to search. The size of this buffer must be set to MAX_PATH to ensure that it is large enough to hold the returned string.

Examples
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include "Shlwapi.h"
void main(void)
{
// Path with spaces.
char buffer_1[MAX_PATH] = "C:\\sample_one\\sample two";
char *lpStr1;
lpStr1 = buffer_1;
// Path before quote spaces.
cout << "The path before PathQuoteSpaces: " << lpStr1 << endl;
// Call "PathQuoteSpaces".
PathQuoteSpaces(lpStr1);
// Path after quote spaces.
cout << "The path after PathQuoteSpaces: " << lpStr1 << endl;
}
OUTPUT:
==================
The path before PathQuoteSpaces: C:\sample_one\sample two
The path after PathQuoteSpaces: "C:\sample_one\sample two"
