List Boxes, Combo Boxes, and Directory Listings

Custom Search

Some dialog boxes display lists of names from which the user can select one or more names. To display a list of filenames, for example, a dialog box typically uses a list box and the DlgDirList and DlgDirSelectEx functions. The DlgDirList function automatically fills a list box with the filenames in the current directory. The DlgDirSelect function retrieves the selected filename from the list box. Together, these two functions provide a convenient way for a dialog box to display a directory listing so the user can select a file without having to type its name and location.

A dialog box can also use a combo box to display a list of filenames. The DlgDirListComboBox function automatically fills a list box portion of the combo box with the filenames in the current directory. The DlgDirSelectComboBoxEx function retrieves a selected filename from the list box portion.
