Folder displayed in Windows Explorer

Hello all! I have a couple of apps that read te title bar in Windows Explorer to determine the folder my app reads. It works well and is fairly easy to code using the GetWindowText length and GetWindowText APIs.

Recently though (not usually the norm) the path names have been too long and don't fully get displayed in the title bar of the Explorer.

I have a vague idea of how to code a drag and drop from the explorer but does anyone know of any other way to read the folder that Windows Explorer is displaying?

Thanks!
