Thanks all! Danny

Thanks, I like to use books better actually. I've spent all my money for this month (literally), so I'll have to wait 'till next month to see if I have money, but I'll look into it. Danny

Hi, you should use a DC(attach it to your print dialog printer DC), Start a document->start a page-> do whatever you want with the DC(whatever you do will be printed!)->end your page->end your document look below: CPrintDialog PDlg(FALSE); CDC PDC; /* You don't need this part, since you used the customized dialog if(!PDlg.GetDefaults()) { AfxMessageBox("Error"); return; } */ PDC.Attach(PDlg.GetPrinterDC()); PDC.StartDoc("New Name, will apear in systray"); PDC.StartPage(); PDC.TextOut(0,0,"HELLO!"); PDC.EndPage(); PDC.EndDoc();

what you need is an owner-drawn listbox. there are many samples, over here: http://www.codeproject.com/combobox/[^] (owner-drawn combo boxes are very similar) Cleek | Image Toolkits | Thumbnail maker

The order you see is dependant upon the underlying file system. For NTFS, you will generally see the files in alphabetical order by name. For FAT32, it's in 'directory' order, which is generally the order in which the files were added to the directory. bugDanny wrote: Is the finder possibly interfering with opening the file? Doubtful. Try debugging your examine.open function with a hand-entered, known good file path. Software Zen: delete this;

u can also use API FindFirstFile()AND FindNextFile()

The debug version ASSERTs because the window hasn't been created yet. In the release version, the ASSERT doesn't fire, and the SendMessage call silently fails. In this case, the control eventually gets created, but the string you're looking for isn't there due to the earlier SendMessage failure. Software Zen: delete this;
