Hi in my code i search a folder for all files it contains

WIN32_FIND_DATA pTempFind;
HANDLE hFile = FindFirstFile(m_FolderName, &pTempFind);

with the code pTempFind.cFilename you get the name of the file ? (as CString ?)

I want to get the file name in String format so i can add in my List box

No, it's a TCHAR array. Why would you think it's a CString?

Are you sending the listbox a LB_ADDSTRING message? For example:

SendMessage(hListBox, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM) pTempFind.cFilename);

i have my list box variable m_List

and i add strings by m_List.AddString(str) (CString);

i had on my code m_List.AddString(pTempFind.cFilename);

and list box appear some strange letters

Assuming that m_List is a CListBox object, why are you not also using CFileFind()?

What is the value of pTempFind.cFilename at this point?

But what is the value of pTempFind.cFilename at the time AddString() is called? Set a breakpoint and check the debug window.

value is MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM i see :/ it has wrong value

my code is
m_FolderName = "C:\dsadasdxzc\";

WIN32_FIND_DATA pTempFind;
HANDLE hFile = FindFirstFile(m_FolderName, &pTempFind);

m_List.AddString(pTempFind.cFilename);

while (FindNextFile(hFile, &pTempFind))
{
m_List.AddString(pTempFind.cFilename);
}

Shouldn't the string literal have double backslashes?

Why are you not checking the return value of FindFirstFile()?

Going back to what I asked earlier, why not use the CFileFind class?

pointers and structures

Right now I'm creating a program that declares a structure, which also has enum inside it. Now I believe I declare the structure right, but the next step is to create a loop that has the user enter 5 different items of data for library information. But I have to use pointers, so when the loop runs and I enter the information, the data has to be sent to a structure variable only once all six attributes are entered, and the pointer values should be used to create the structure.

I was given an example:

cin >> a;<br />
cin >> b;<br />
library.dewey = &aptr;

This is my code so far:

	struct card_catalogue                //declare a structure then declare all<br />
	{                                    //the varibles needed for the struct<br />
		float dewey;<br />
		string title;<br />
		string author;<br />
		int released;<br />
	    int num_pages;<br />
		enum type {fiction, nonfiction, reference, pond};<br />
    };<br />
<br />
int main()<br />
{		<br />
	card_catalogue books;<br />
<br />
<br />
	cout<< "Enter the Dewey Decimal Number please: ";<br />
	cin>> books.dewey;<br />
	cout<< "Enter the Title of the book please: ";<br />
	getline(cin, books.title);<br />
	cout<< "Enter the Author of the book please: ";<br />
	getline(cin, books.author);<br />
	cout<< "Enter the Year of Release please: ";<br />
	cin>> books.released;<br />
	cout<< "Enter the Number of Pages please: ";<br />
	cin>> books.num_pages;<br />
	cout<< "Enter the type: ";<br />
	getline(cin, books.type);<br />
<br />
	<br />
	return 0;<br />
}
