Hi everyone smile.gif

I am working on a new plugin. I need the machine name. The windows API gives it as char * . How do return that value as fmx::Text object??? I am using the FM7 API.

Thanks in advance for your help!

The system variable that holds the machine name is 'COMPUTERNAME'.

If you open the command prompt and type 'set computername' it will return the name assigned.
