cfiledialog location folders

[jl3574]

i'm creating a CFileDialog to ask user to select a file
however i want the user to locate a folder only and not just a speicific file.

FILE *filename;
CString cs;
//open file
CFileDialog m_ldFile(TRUE);
if(m_ldFile.DoModal()==IDOK)
cs=m_ldFile.GetFileName();
filename = fopen(cs,"r"
UpdateData(FALSE);

//this retrives the file and puts it in the file pointer
is there a way i can just get the folder name from the selected folder from the user?

You can get the whole path and parse out the folder name.

If you get the pathname using GetPathName()

You can then use the C function strtok(pathname,"\\&quot.

put the above funtion in a while loop and this will split the file name into all required components.

example:

CString CSIMAppDlg::GetFileName(CString strPathname)
{
char seps[] = "\\";
char *token;
char *prev;
char work[256];
int len;
strcpy(work, strPathname);

token = strtok(work, seps );
while( token != NULL )
{
prev = token;
token = strtok( NULL, seps );
}

len = prev - work;

return strPathname.Left(len);

}

Perhaps you're after the SHBrowseForFolder function.
