• • Introduction What's a Problem? It has probably happened that you need a dialog like CFileDialog (MFC) that allows you to select some items together. I do not mean multi select file feature but multi select files and folders. If you search MSDN and the internet for libraries which do that for you, maybe the best things you would find are CFileDialog for selecting single or multiple files and SHBrowseForFolder API for selecting a single folder.

So the problem is that you need a utility that makes it possible to select every browsable thing. What Should We Do To Overcome the Problem? If you want to have a single class using it you can select a file or a folder or some files or some folders or a mixture of them. I searched for such a utility but found nothing. So I decided to provide it and the best solution that I found was changing CFileDialog to do what I need. Solution CSelectDialog is a class that is inherited from CFileDialog and makes it possible for you to browse your computer or network and select a mixture of files and folders. For my convenience (as implementer) and user, I add a member of type CStringArray to the class to keep selected items after dialog returns IDOK.

Difference of CSelectDialog and CFileDialog • Their user interface has some differences (You can see it in sample image in Vista.) • OnInitDone, OnFolderChange, OnFileNameOK and WndProc functions of CFileDialog are overridden in CSelectDialog. Using the Code Use of CSelectDialog is similar to CFileDialog. Simply define a variable of type CSelectDialog and DoModal it. After user clicks the OK button, you can access the full path of selected items via m_lstSelectedItems member. A code snippet that does this work is shown below: CSelectDialog ofd(TRUE, _T( ' *.*'), NULL, OFN_HIDEREADONLY OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT, _T( ' All files and folders(*.*) *.* ') ); if( ofd.DoModal()!= IDOK ) return; for( int i= 0; i. GetParent() is returning NULL. Free Download Keygen Photoshop Cs3. I see the same with VS2013 on Win7.

On line 5, we’re creating a new object. That object is unsurprisingly an OpenFileDialog object. On line 6 we’re specifying that initial directory that we got in.
