Where/when?
Why do you have a vector of WIN32_FIND_DATA structures? One is sufficient.

What is the value of namepointer?

It throws the exception right at the start and does nothing else.

FindFirstFile and FindNextFile seemed to return only as single file, so I assumed LPWIN32_FIND_DATAW represented a single file.
How does that work anyway?
The struct only has a few attributes that seem like file attributes, which wouldn't make much sense in a collection (like filename or creation date).
Originally I had
namepointer = stringpointer; but that won't do.
I get an error that char* cannot be converted to LPCTSTR.
I must have deleted the line and didn't notice.
Though, it was done like that in the article Hamid posted (then again, I got 10 errors from that code).

It does, hence the need for a loop.
Look through this snippet to see where you went awry:
vector<string> files;
WIN32_FIND_DATA findData;
BOOL bFound = TRUE;
HANDLE handle = FindFirstFile("C:\\*.*", &findData);
if (handle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
while (bFound)
{
files.push_back(findData.cFileName);
bFound = FindNextFile(handle, &findData);
}
}
for (int k = 0; k < files.size(); k++)
cout << "Reading File:" << files[k].c_str() << endl;

Thanks, though this code stil throws 2 errors.
First one that I can't convert from const char[7] to LPCWSTR (in FindFirstFile).
Second one is that I can't convert from WCHR[260] to std::string & (files.push_back(findData.cFileName);).

That's because you are using Unicode. Change string to wstring and prepend the string literal with an L.

I see now it compiles.
But the program doesn't quite work.
It doesn't display anything and when setting a breakpoint it takes over a minute until it reaches it (first call of FindFirstFile)
After that line I get an error, saying that there is no cource code available for the current position.
I don't get any error or output if I don't use a breakpoint.

Does the files vector contain anything?

I used getchar(), to keep the console open.
I made a break point at the line of files.push_back(findData.cFileName);, but the program never reaches that line.
It simply does nothing, probably because when I put a breakpoint at the FindFirstFile line and then go the next line with F11, I get an error telling me that for the current position no source code is avaiable.

You need to use double backslashes.

I have double backslashes, codeproject didn't display the code properly.
I tried it with this conde and with using \\*.* at the ne dof the filepath, but it's the same.
I get that error in both cases.

CodeProject does not care if, or how many, backslashes are used.

What error?
Have you checked the return value of FindFirstFile()? If it is INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, have you called GetLastError()?

I cannot check the return value of FindFirstFile because if I set a breakpoint, I get the error that the code is unavalable for the current position at the line of the FindFirstFile function.

What's keeping you from doing this:
vector<string> files;
WIN32_FIND_DATA findData;
BOOL bFound = TRUE;
HANDLE handle = FindFirstFile(L"C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\Student\\Eigene Dateien\\*.*", &findData);
if (handle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
while (bFound)
{
files.push_back(findData.cFileName);
bFound = FindNextFile(handle, &findData);
}
for (int k = 0; k < files.size(); k++)
cout << "Reading File:" << files[k].c_str() << endl;
}
else
cout << GetLastError() << endl;;
getchar();

I use this, but I get this error when trying to read the names from the vector.
error C2664: 'void std::basic_ofstream<_Elem,_Traits>::open(const wchar_t *,std::ios_base::openmode,int)': Covertion of Parameter 1 from 'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>' to 'const wchar_t *' not possible
I use wofstream to open the files, but I get that error when trying to read the names from the vector, yet I don't get an error when using a const filename (a random string literal).
Also I get this error multiple times from getline():
error C2784: "std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &std::getline(std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &,std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc> &)": template-Argument for "std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits> &" could not be deducted from "std::wofstream"
It's the same error regardless if line is a string or a wstring.

This is a different problem altogether. What does your code to open and read from a file look like?

This is my code:
vector<wstring> files;
WIN32_FIND_DATA findData;
BOOL bFound = TRUE;
HANDLE handle;
string name ="";
wofstream myfile;
wstring line;
handle = FindFirstFile(L"C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\Student\\Eigene Dateien\\*.mp", &findData);
if (handle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
while (bFound)
{
files.push_back(findData.cFileName);
bFound = FindNextFile(handle, &findData);
}
}
else
{
cout << GetLastError() << endl;
}
for (int k = 0; k < files.size(); k++)
{
myfile.open(files.at(k));
while (myfile.eof() == false)
{
getline(myfile, line);
wcout << line << endl;
}
myfile.close();
}</wstring>It's pretty much the same as you posted, except that I use wofstream instead of ofstream and wsring for line instead of string.
And I use wcout instead of cout.
.mp files are just txt files with a different extension.

This should be an "input" file since you are reading from it.
Megidolaon wrote: myfile.open(files.at(k));
at() returns a string, not a const char *. Hint: use the c_str() method.

Thanks, now I don't get an error anymore.
However, it still doesn't work properly.
The program does nothing.
myfile.eof == false() never is wrong, apparently the file end is never reached.
I set a breakpoint and files contains 3 strings at runtime (this is correct).
Each of the files has 43 lines for a total of 129 lines;
I use
counter++;
cout << counter << ": "; Where counter is an int, starting a 0, to output the line numbers.
It passes 129 almost instantly and the while loop is infinte and line always is "".
How come?
Why doesn't open() actually open the files or at least gives me some kind of error, why it won't work?
And more importantly, how does it work?
Thanks.

Have you tried something like:
while (myfile.good())
{
myfile.getline(line, sizeof(line));
wcout << line << endl;
}

I just tries it changing line's tpye to
WCHAR* line;
But now the pogram does nothing.
It doesn't even show the line numbers anymore.
I used breakpoints and looks like myfile.good() always returns false.

I just changed it to
WCHAR line[2000]; then to
WCHAR* line = new WCHAR; and finally to
WCHAR* line = new WCHAR[]; The program still does nothing in all cases.

Why not just leave it as:
wstring line; That way you don't have to be concerned with allocating too little or too much memory.

I had that first, but then the string remains empty and never gets filled.
No matter how I do it, the program doesn't ouput the content of the files.

Hello,
I have a CStatic on CMDIChildWnd but I am not able to change its background color.
I have tried using CWnd functions
CStatic* Static = new CStatic;
CDC* pDC = Static->GetDC();
pDC->SetBkMode(OPAQUE);
pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(150,150,255));
