native dirctrl which looks like the tree of windows explorer??

[Martin Schulz]

Hi,

Is there any native dirctrl which looks like the tree of windows
explorer?/
Just like the one which dirdialog contains???

Or how to modify the code (wxDirDialog) to embed the directory tree into
a frame??

BROWSEINFO bi;
bi.hwndOwner = parent ? GetHwndOf(parent) : NULL;
bi.pidlRoot = NULL;
bi.pszDisplayName = NULL;
#ifdef __WXWINCE__
bi.lpszTitle = m_message.mb_str();
#else
bi.lpszTitle = m_message.c_str();
#endif
bi.ulFlags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS | BIF_STATUSTEXT;
bi.lpfn = BrowseCallbackProc;
bi.lParam = (LPARAM)m_path.c_str(); // param for the
callback

//…..
// do show the dialog
LPITEMIDLIST pidl = SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);

If someone gives me some useful hints, maybe I can try to embed it into
wxGenericTree!!

Best regards,
Martin

Is this what you're looking for? See the window on the left, you can put
the dir selector above the file selector as you see or to the left. The
files can be viewed as list, icons, or just as a tree with the files.

http://www.lehigh.edu/~jrl1/wxwindows/Plotto/plotto.png

The source is wxWidgets/src/filebrws.cpp(h) in here

http://www.lehigh.edu/~jrl1/wxwindows/Plotto/plotto_101303_alpha_src.zip

You must use wxWindows CVS HEAD since the file browser part is the list
control used for the wxGenericFileDialog which has been made into a
public class (used to be hidden in src/generic/filedlgg.cpp).

Thanks for reply.
I only need the tree part.
I want to have for example, the folder my computer, network folders and
desktop folder etc. displayed.
I have downloaded your application. But as I can see it uses generic
tree, which doesn't display the folders I mentioned.

Thanks for help,
Martin

Hi John,

>just uses the native dir dialog.
I have tried to just paste the code of (src/msw/dirdlg.cpp) in to the
minmal sample.
But it only shows the directory tree in a dialog, and not inside the
minimal frame.
And I also changed the parent, but without success.

BROWSEINFO bi;
bi.hwndOwner = parent ? GetHwndOf(parent) : NULL;
bi.pidlRoot = NULL;\
bi.pszDisplayName = NULL;
#ifdef __WXWINCE__
bi.lpszTitle = m_message.mb_str();
#else
bi.lpszTitle = m_message.c_str();
#endif
bi.ulFlags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS | BIF_STATUSTEXT;
bi.lpfn = BrowseCallbackProc;
bi.lParam = (LPARAM)m_path.c_str(); // param for the
callback

//...

// do show the dialog
LPITEMIDLIST pidl = SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);

>You mean wxGenericDirCtrl? (include/wx/generic/dirctrlg.h)
Oops, yes.

>To extend it, see the function (src/generic/dirctrlg.cpp)
Ok.

Will , actually I am a newbie, so I don't have any idea from IIRC.
I have been programming only with gtk and wxwindows.

Sure, I am using cvs.

Thanks for help,

GetLogicalDriveStrings just gets the real drives.

You can go up a few levels, but I don't see anything about the location
of My Documents (a search for that turns of all kinds of crap) or
network drives.

A list of their file system functions

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/mslu/winprog/unicode_layer_file_system_functions.asp

There's nothing there so you'll just have to dig around in msdn.

Good luck,
