Hi,

I want to call GetShortPathNameW
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364989(VS.85).aspx). What is the
right mapping for LPCTSTR and LPTSTR? Maybe this?:

public interface Kernel32 extends StdCallLibrary {

public int GetShortPathNameW(PointerByReference lpszLongPath, PointerByReference
lpszShortPath, int cchBuffer);

}

This is one of my attemps but it doesn't work
(java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Bounds exceeds available space : size=4,
offset=112)

public class NativeCallUtils {

private static Kernel32 INSTANCE; static { System.setProperty("jna.encoding", "UTF8"); INSTANCE = (Kernel32) Native.loadLibrary("kernel32", Kernel32.class); }

public static String getEightPointThreePathName(String longPathName) { PointerByReference pbr = new PointerByReference(); pbr.getPointer().setString(0, "\\\\?\\" + longPathName); PointerByReference pbr2 = new PointerByReference(); INSTANCE.GetShortPathNameW(pbr, pbr2, longPathName.length()); String s = pbr2.getValue().getString(0); return s; } }

Sorry, if this is actually a dumb question but I haven't done much C/C++
programming so far.
