I need to know how you will list the files in a directory as the files are added in C++

Monitor the folder using either ReadDirectoryChangesW() or FindFirstChangeNotification().

What is the best way to list a directory in C++. I've heard of using boost libraries. Any suggestions or comments?

I guess that all depends on your viewpoint (i.e., what's best for you may not be for others, and vice versa).

Technically, C++ has no knowledge of folders and other file-system related things. I'm not familar with Boost so any comments would be unjust. In any case, check out _findfirst() and _findnext().

SHChangeNotifyRegister() function can be used if you want to receive notifications when something in shell namespace is changed... (e.g. file/folder creation, deletion, rename etc..)

take a look at http://www.codeproject.com/atl/shellfoldertree.asp, it may help you...

http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/shell/shchangenotify.htm : this is a Visual Basic sample... it might help you...

Yes, the following article on CP shows how to use Boost libraries for directory listing:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/find_file.asp

and the following one shows how to do the same without using Boost libraries i.e. by using Win32 API functions like FindFirstFile() etc.
http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/recursedir.asp

And, I guess, the second method would be best, because it will eliminate dependencies on Boost libraries as it uses core API functions.

Hi.

I have installed Visual Studio 2005. The firts time I opened it, it prompts to select a particular windows layout. By mistake, I have selected the Visual Basic developer layout, and now I have everything changed. I mean, the workspace windows is docked at right, and I want it docked at the left side of the IDE. I want the IDE like Visual Studio 6.0!! Cry | :((

but by anxiety I've selected the wrong option in the first running and now I can't find how to change that selection.

Please help, I can't programm with this VB layout!!! Do you understand? Dead | X|

Demian.

To change the VS2005 Window Layout, use following method:

1. On the Tools menu, choose Import and Export Settings.

2. On Welcome to the Import and Export Settings Wizard page, click Import selected environment settings and then click Next.

3. On the Save Current Settings page, select Yes, save my current settings, and then click Next.

4. In Which collection of settings do you want to import, select a settings collection from the list and then click Next.

5. In Which settings do you want to import, expand the list and select only the categories or category items you want to apply to your current settings.

6. Click Finish.

7. The Reset Complete page lists any errors associated with resetting your settings under Details.

I just migrated to 2005 a little over a week ago, but I remember this being one of the few
times I actually read the message at install time that stated how to set it back if you change
environment later. That still doesn't mean I would have been able to find it if I needed it!

The settings import/export came in handy for seting up other machines, so I saw it again anyway Smile | :)

Cheers!

Create them like you would any other window control...CreateWindow("BUTTON", "Label", BS_RADIOBUTTON, ...).

Hi,

another possibility is to create them with the Resource editor in programming time, assigning a member variable of type Control to have access to them and then make them visible invisible with the button click.

Example:

//OnButtonClick
myRadioButton->ShowWindow (TRUE);

And afterwards can you know which is selected with:

if (myRadioButton->GetCheck ())
//Do whatever you want if selected

Greetings.
