Browse network neighborhood

RobJones

Hello, I am to do something as simple as browse the network neighborhood and return the path selected... After a bunch of research the only thing I found that really fits my needs is an article by Paul DiLascia. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/06/CAtWork/ Anyway, I am trying to modify his code to only display the network neighborhood and nothing else... He provides 2 functions for filtering out items. I have been playing around with this for hours and I can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone help me out? I only want to display the network neighborhood.

// Used for custom filtering. You must override to specify filter flags.
HRESULT CFolderDialog::OnGetEnumFlags(
IShellFolder* psf, // this folder's IShellFolder
LPCITEMIDLIST pidlFolder, // folder's PIDL
DWORD *pgrfFlags) // [out] return flags you want to allow
{
BFTRACE(_T("CFolderDialog::OnGetEnumFlags(%p): %s\n"),
psf, GetPathName(pidlFolder));

return S\_OK;

}

// Used for custom filtering. You must override to filter items.
HRESULT CFolderDialog::OnShouldShow(
IShellFolder* psf, // This folder's IShellFolder
LPCITEMIDLIST pidlFolder, // PIDL for folder containing item
LPCITEMIDLIST pidlItem) // PIDL for item
{
BFTRACE(_T("CFolderDialog::OnShouldShow(%p): %s: %s\n"), psf,
GetDisplayNameOf(psf, pidlFolder, SHGDN_NORMAL),
GetDisplayNameOf(psf, pidlItem, SHGDN_NORMAL));

return S\_OK;

}

Actually I have to override these functions.. Here is the following but I am still unsure on how to filter...

//////////////////
// Get flags for custom filtering: Only enumerate folders. This is only
// called when custom filtering is used.
//
HRESULT CMyFolderDialog::OnGetEnumFlags(IShellFolder* psf, LPCITEMIDLIST pidlFolder,
DWORD *pgrfFlags)
{
BFTRACE(_T("CMyFolderDialog::OnGetEnumFlags\n"));

\*pgrfFlags = SHCONTF\_FOLDERS; // show only folders

return S\_OK;

}

//////////////////
// Determine whether to display item: doesn't actually do anything, just
// illustrates the function in action through TRACE diagnostics.
//
HRESULT CMyFolderDialog::OnShouldShow(IShellFolder* psf,
LPCITEMIDLIST pidlFolder,
LPCITEMIDLIST pidlItem)
{
BFTRACE(_T("CMyFolderDialog::OnShouldShow(%p): %s: %s"),
psf, GetPathName(pidlFolder), GetDisplayNameOf(psf, pidlItem, SHGDN_NORMAL));

SFGAOF attrs;
psf->GetAttributesOf(1, &pidlItem, &attrs);
BOOL bShow = attrs & (SFGAO\_FILESYSTEM | SFGAO\_HASSUBFOLDER);

BFTRACE(\_T(" \[attrs: %08x\]: %s\\n"), attrs, bShow ? \_T("Yes") : \_T("No"));


return bShow ? S\_OK : S\_FALSE;

}

Thanks, I have looked at that before but I would prefer to use this other method. Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door!

Use SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() with the CSIDL_NETWORK flag to get the PIDL of the Network root folder, then pass this PIDL to SHBrowseForFolder() as the pidlRoot member of the BROWSEINFO structure. This will force the "Browse For Folder" tree to be rooted at the root network folder.
