This class gives you the location of common system windows such as the My Documents folder and the Application Data folder. These are commonly needed in applications that provide Windows 2000 Logo compliancy. See SHGetFolderPath in MSDN for more details.
To use, drop the class on a project or form or, from the Component Gallery Item Shortcut Menu, select Add to Project or Add to Form. When you add the class to a form, Visual FoxPro places the class icon on the form. You can specify the appropriate property values and provide any necessary input and output objects. When you drop the class on a project, you can choose between adding the class or creating a subclass.
