How do you get number of items in a local folder?

[conor0callaghan]

Hi I've created a CFolderDialog class which is similar to the CFildDialog class. The only difference is that it returns the address of the folder instead of the file..

I want to get create a function which takes in the address of the folder and returns the number of files it contains?

use FinfFirstFile/FindNextFile to count the number of files and SetCurrentDirectory to point correctly the path.

Here is an example to count the number of files in agiven folder.
int CountFiles(CString & sPath)
{

int iCount = 0;
CFileFind finder;
BOOL bContinue = finder.FindFile(sPath + "\\*.*");
while (bCont)
{
bContinue= finder.FindNextFile();
if(!finder.IsDots())
{
iCount++;

}
}
return icount;
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int CountFiles(CString & sPath, CStringArray &arrs
{

int iCount = 0;
CStringArray arrs;
CFileFind finder;
BOOL bContinue = finder.FindFile(sPath + "\\*.*");
while (bCont)
{
bContinue= finder.FindNextFile();
if(!finder.IsDots())
{
iCount++;
arrs.Add( finder.GetFileName());
}
}
return icount;
}

Also , depending on your need you can use :
finder.IsDirectory() ,finder.IsHidden() ,finder.IsTemporary() ,finder.IsSystem()
