Forums » Prof-UIS Tech Support » Retrieve selected folder from CExtShellTreeCtrl Collapse All
Subject Author Date

Hi,


i write a folder select dialog using the class CExtShellTreeCtrl from the beta Shellcontrol for 08/28.


My question is how to retrieve the fullpath of the selected folder.


Do you have a new version of the ShellControls ?


Thanks


Ulrich

The following code retrieves the path from a tree item:

CExtShellTreeCtrl * pShellTreeCtrl = . . .
HTREEITEM hti = . . .
CExtTreeCtrl::TREEITEMINFO_t & _TII = pShellTreeCtrl->TreeItemInfoGet( hti );
CExtShellItemData * pShellItemData = (CExtShellItemData*)_TII.m_lParam;
      ASSERT( pShellItemData != NULL );
CString str = pShellItemData->m_pidlAbsolute.GetPath();
But the path may be an empty string for tree items which do not represent file system locations. All the tree items have a display name. You may need to show the display name of a shell item instead of the full path:
      if( strPath.IsEmpty() )
            str = pShellItemData->m_pidlAbsolute.GetDisplayNameOf();
Additionally, we have finished working on shell related part of Prof-UIS, including file and browse for folder dialogs:

If the code above fails to compile with your version of Prof-UIS, please drop us an e-mail to the support mail box so we will provide you with the update.
