My application needs that i use a ComboBox and ListBox.The ComboBox will display a drive or directory in the system and my listbox will display all the subdirectories.This comboBox and listbox get displayed in a Dialog application. There is a function called CWnd::DlgDirListComboBox .As per documentation this is supposed to load a directory. there are 2 classes in my application CForDialog and CForApp . I used this line of code inside InitDialog in CForDialog class .......throws unhandled exception this->DlgDirListComboBox(_T(""),IDC_COMBO1,IDC_LIST1,DDL_DIRECTORY|DDL_EXCLUSIVE); can u help :confused:

You must not give a constant string as path spec :mad:: " lpPathSpec Points to a null-terminated string that contains the path or filename. DlgDirListComboBox modifies this string, which should be long enough to contain the modifications. For more information, see the following “Remarks” section. " HTH, Jens

The Directory Path must not be a static path in DlgDirList-Method! Sample: IDC_LIST1 is the box to be filled... CString *temp1 = new CString("c:\\tmp\\style\\*.xsl"); LPTSTR str1 = temp1->GetBuffer(temp1->GetLength()); int ret=this->DlgDirList(str1,IDC_LIST1,0,0);
