AFAIK, there is no such function... I believe you have to make your own.. you can use CFileFind Class to achieve same...

Something like:

bool IsFolderEmpty( LPCTSTR lpszFolder )
{
CFileFind fileFind;
CString strFolder(lpszFolder);
bool bFound,
bEmpty = true;

bFound = fileFind.FindFile(strFolder + \_T("\*.\*"));
while (bFound != FALSE)
{
    bFound = fileFind.FindNextFile();
    if (! fileFind.IsDots())
    {
        bEmpty = false;
        break;
    }
}

return bEmpty;

}
