Hi, the question is :
how to disable user's input in the edit box, so he won't be able to input the name or modify it?
it seems i've found some information about it here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646960(v=vs.85).aspx#_win32_Explorer_Style_Control_Identifiers[^]

here is the quote from the link:

cmb13 Drop-down combo box that displays the name of the current file, allows the user to type the name of a file to open, and select a file that has been opened or saved recently. This is for earlier Explorer-compatible applications without hook or dialog template. Compare with edt1.
here is the quote :
edt1 Edit control that displays the name of the current file, or allows the user to type the name of the file to open. Compare with cmb13.

but still i can't work out how to put it in code. Thanks in advance!
