monitoring and selecting root directory and report changes in that directory
-
hai to all i want to do an application so that i can select a directory and by monitoring the selected directory i need to report the changes made in that directory. For that i have used a browse button to select the directory and displayed the selected directory to be monitored in the edit box. for this i have written like this : BROWSEINFO bi; TCHAR m_DisplayName[MAX_PATH]; m_DisplayName[0]='\0'; memset(&bi, 0x00, sizeof(bi)); bi.hwndOwner = this->m_hWnd; bi.pszDisplayName = m_DisplayName; bi.ulFlags = BIF_EDITBOX; LPITEMIDLIST pidl = SHBrowseForFolder(&bi); if (pidl) SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl, m_DisplayName); GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT)->SetWindowText(m_DisplayName); Next i need a list control for displaying the changed directory files with column path and size and date. here my problem is how can i map the column path,size,date of the directory files to the columns in the listcontrol. :)

Use
ReadDirectoryChangesW()orFindFirstChangeNotification().

Without seeing the relevant code snippet, it's impossible to say.

Why are you not using
AfxBeginThread()here?keerthikaaa wrote:
...i have used it to create the directory in the thread .
Where?
keerthikaaa wrote:
when i place a "c:\\"in the directory place instead of variable i can get only the specified path monitored.
What else would you expect?

i want the path which i have selected to be monitored.
What is the value of
m_sResults?
