I want to offer a user a list of folders to choose from. The user should be able to use the arrow keys to scroll up and down so that the current choice is highlighted. They should also be able to choose using the number keys.
Thanks

To get a list of folders, you could use _findfirst(), _findnext() etc to get the needed folder list.
A- Display the list using printf(), cout etc.
B- Write a while loop which takes input from the user, and interprets the key pressed. (you could use getch()).
C- Highlight the current selection. (Now that is a problem):
1- You could put some special character ahead of the selected line.
2- You could dig deep into VC and find just the right technique to change the backcolor of the text, or the text itself. (If it is possible)
3- Something else.
Is that your homework?
this is this.

Hi. Thanks, that helps. I guess the highlighting part isn't all that important. You know when windows gives you the option to boot from safe mode, safe mode with CD support or boot normally etc. It lets you scroll up and down with the arrows. I just thought there might be some simple function that lets you do that. If there's no easy way, I can just prompt the user to pick a number or something like that. It's not worth wasting too much time over.

Just a little comment:
The windows menu that appears comes from real-mode DOS (I think)  So, there are endless possibilites of what you can do with real-mode DOS OS; you can write directly to memory, set the foreground and background colors, blink text, ... anything. But with protected mode OSes, they don't let you write directly to any arbitrary memory location.  
this is this.

Just adding to what Khan++ said. Programming for the DOS window is a different programming style than the even driven windows framework. If you used to program in Turbo C++, there used to be a library (conio.h) that allowed you to manipulate the console window. But you still had to do the hard work if you wanted to simulate UI things like menu selection.
You can still do this in a Windows Console program using the console functions. Take at look at this[^] to start with.

Hi,
Here is the code ,what i am using
HMODULE hmod;
HRSRC hr;
HGLOBAL gm;
char* lock;
hmod=LoadLibrary("testdll.dll");
hr=FindResource(hmod,MAKEINTRESOURCE(504),"GIF");
gm=LoadResource(hmod,hr);
lock=(char *)LockResource(gm);
if(hr == NULL)
MessageBox("This is not working");
else
MessageBox("This is working");
Here ,in this testdll.dll, we have stored Gif file as a resource and 504 is the resource identifier number. The resource type is "GIF".
But its not working. plz suggest me the solution

I can not remember exact code, but the fuction call
hr=FindResource(hmod,MAKEINTRESOURCE(504),"GIF");
is not correct.
you can try enumurating resource to find its resource ID.

Try using InitCommonControls or InitCommonControlsEx in the beginning of your program.
INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX InitCtrls;<br />
InitCtrls.dwSize = sizeof(INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX);<br />
InitCtrls.dwICC = ICC_BAR_CLASSES; <br />
InitCommonControlsEx(&InitCtrls);
If it still does not work, you should try to add it through code:
hStatus = CreateWindowEx(0, STATUSCLASSNAME, NULL,<br />
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SBARS_SIZEGRIP, 0, 0, 0, 0,<br />
hwnd, (HMENU)IDC_MAIN_STATUS, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);<br />
int statwidths[] = {100, -1};<br />
SendMessage(hStatus, SB_SETPARTS, sizeof(statwidths)/sizeof(int), (LPARAM)statwidths);<br />
SendMessage(hStatus, SB_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)"Some text");
kind regards,
Ward

Hi,
(1) I have a CRszListCtrl : public CListCtrl
(2) which has a CustHeaderCtrl m_hdrCustom, where CustHeaderCtrl : public CHeaderCtrl
(3) CRszListCtrl has init() called from CDialog::OnInitDialog.
(4) This init() calls void CustHeaderCtrl::init(CListCtrl * const pList) with Argument this (i.e. self) to init its m_hdrCustom
(5) The code is
void CustHeaderCtrl::init(CListCtrl * const pList)<br />
{<br />
m_pParentList = pList;<br />
CHeaderCtrl * pHeader = m_pParentList->GetHeaderCtrl();<br />
ASSERT( SubclassWindow(pHeader->GetSafeHwnd()) );<br />
}<br />
(6) To catch clicks on the header items I made handlers for WM_NOTIFY messages resent to the header by it's parent list which where routed via WM_NOTIFY_REFLECT macro or alternatively via OnChildNotify.
:(Both work fine but only in debug code!
Who can give a solution? Thank you!
regards Werner

Check what you have put in ASSERT macros, do not forget these are not compiled in Release mode.

I have made a regular dll in MFC. Here I have invoked an exported function in which I call a dialog using DoModal method. Now I added a static control on that dialog. Now, whenever I call that exported function in dll using an exe application i'm able to view that dialog, but the problem i'm facing is that i'm not able to get nor set data to the various controls(like static or edit) used in dialog. Like the MFC functions GetDlgItem, SetDlgItemText, SetWindowText, etc doesn't work.
Here is the piece of code
__declspec(dllexport) MyFun()
{
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
CMyDialog dlg;
dlg.DoModal();
}
//Constructor for CMyDialog
CDlgTest::CDlgTest(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/)
: CDialog(CDlgTest::IDD, pParent)
{
this->SetDlgItemText(IDC_STATIC, "Mayank"); //Not working
}
|
|

You can't use SetDlgItemText in the constructor because the window (IDC_STATIC) has not yet been created.
You need to override the OnInitDialog (WM_INITDIALOG) and put your SetDlgItemText in that function, after the call to CDialog::OnInitDialog();
Hope that helps.

Is there some way how to reuse explorer's list control used for browsing the disk/local computer ?
I'd like to have this control integrated in my application with all default features (view modes like thumbnails/icons/...., default shell context menu, etc.
Thank you.

I think the WebBrowser should do it too. Insert the WebBrowser control in the project, and there you go. Then you must start with a real local address like "c:\\" etc. to start it with.
this is this.

thank you for the idea ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
Is there some way how to control view type (thumbnail/icons) ?

Sorry, I have never tried it, but I hope someone else knows a way.
But the context menu is still there.
this is this.

Yes but after changing the folder original view mode is restored.
But thank you for help anyway, now I found IShellView for
direct usage of shell folder view, I'll examine it.
