How can I browse directories?

[CptGreenwood]

Hi,
in Visual Basic there are controls like CDrive, CDir, CFile where you can browse files in directories. How can I do it in Visual C++? These controls are missing. There are only tree and list controls, but I didn't find instructions to use them as a dir/file browser. Can anyone help?

Don't really know. I want the user to choose one or more subdirs in a special dir where the prog performs operations on it. A simple listbox would do when I get it filled with all subdirnames.

Try using this

LPITEMIDLIST IDRoot;
BROWSEINFO BrowseInfo;

HWND h = this->GetSafeHwnd();
SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(h, CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY, &IDRoot);
char Path[MAX_PATH];
ZeroMemory(&BrowseInfo, sizeof(BROWSEINFO));
ZeroMemory(Path, MAX_PATH);

Uhh, thanx but this looks like pure WinAPI and I'm not very familiar with it. Is there a solution using the MFC as well?

It works as well with MFC too
