>>>I have a Win32 application that displays the current environment in a list box using GetEnvironmentString() and then filling the list box. Under NT it works fine, but under Win32s, all of the environment variables set in DOS are shown, but only a few of the environment variables set by the program are shown. Subsequent calls to getenv() show that the variables that are not shown are in fact set. >>>Is there a problem with GetEnvironmentString() under Win32s 1.0? No, I have not heard of such problems. However, the comments in the GetEnvironmentStrings() API state that it should not be used to retrieve the values of an environment variable, but that GetEnvironmentVariable() should be used. Have you tried using GetEnvironmentVariable? Lee There is 1 Reply.
