File / directory dialog

[brisray]

My first post to this forum was back in the beginning of February when I asked for information on interupts. I didn't get many replies but in the end I found I didn't need the information anyway. Thanks for your help MiggyD anyway.

The reason I asked for the information was because I wanted to write a file dialog box. Well, I finally finished my little project. If you're interested the end product can be found at

You may like to take a look at it anyway as I've put together quite a few algorithims that are common to lots of programs. In them you can see how to sort an array, how to draw a scrolling menu, how to manipulate strings, error checking, creating files and directories, changing drives and directories, trapping and using the non-printable keyboard characters, and other techniques.

I like that! A couple of problems when it hangs trying to read a non-existent B: drive... but very professional. Cudos!

Thanks Alt,

I thought I had the drive thing sorted out. You should have seen what happened when it tried to write that temporary file to a DVD drive in the first version.

I tried to make the program as robust as I could, but we all know how that goes.
