CB_DIR  5V2Q1S 

An application sends a CB_DIR message to add a list of filenames to the list box of a combo box.

CB_DIR

wParam = (WPARAM) (UINT) uAttrs;          // file attributes

lParam = (LPARAM) (LPCTSTR) lpszFileSpec; // address of filename

 

Parameters

uAttrs

Value of wParam. Specifies the attributes of the files to be added to the list box. It can be any combination of the following values:

Value

Meaning

DDL_ARCHIVE

Includes archived files.

DDL_DIRECTORY

Includes subdirectories. Subdirectory names are enclosed in square brackets ([ ]).

DDL_DRIVES

Includes drives. Drives are listed in the form [-x-], where x is the drive letter.

DDL_EXCLUSIVE

Includes only files with the specified attributes. By default, read-write files are listed even if DDL_READWRITE is not specified.

DDL_HIDDEN

Includes hidden files.

DDL_READONLY

Includes read-only files.

DDL_READWRITE

Includes read-write files with no additional attributes.

DDL_SYSTEM

Includes system files.

 

lpszFileSpec

Value of lParam. Points to the null-terminated string that specifies the filename to add to the list. If the filename contains any wildcards (for example, *.*), all files that match and have the attributes specified by the uAttrs parameter are added to the list.

 

Return Values

The return value is the zero-based index of the last filename added to the list. If an error occurs, the return value is CB_ERR. If insufficient space is available to store the new strings, it is CB_ERRSPACE.
