I am studying the Windows programming by using the book
Programming.Windows.5th.Edition(Charles Petzold).
When I doing the Figure 3-1. The HELLOWIN program,I find that when I use the hotkey ctrl+F5 to run the exe,I can hear the sound(Hello windows 98),but when I run the exe in the directory Debug,no sound could be heard.After putting the exe together with HelloWin.wav,everything is OK.How could this happen?I am using the win7(simplified Chinese Edition) and Visual Studio 6(Enterprise Edition.)
Presumably this is an issue of relative paths. My guess is that you refer to the .wav file using a relative path and just name it
"HelloWin.wav". This is relative to the current directory.When you double click the .exe the current directory is the exe directory and the .wav is not found. When you press Ctrl+F5 from the IDE, the IDE sets the current directory to be the project directory and thus the file is found.
