Programming in visual c++. I got a editbox and a button on a form.
when i press the button, the editbox gets filled with files and directorys.


here is my code

Code:

---

HANDLE hFind;
WIN32_FIND_DATA data;
hFind = FindFirstFile("*.*", &data);
if (hFind != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
 do
 {
 
 
GetDlgItem( testing )->SetWindowText( data.cFileName );
 
 }while(FindNextFile(hFind, &data));
 
}

Code:

HANDLE hFind;
WIN32_FIND_DATA data2;
hFind = FindFirstFile("*.*", &data2);
strcat(data,"\n");
if (hFind != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
 while (FindNextFile(hFind, &data2)){
    if(FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY == data2.dwFileAttributes)
          strcat(data,"DIR");
strcat(data,"\n");
  strcat(data,data2.cFileName);
strcat(data,"\n");
 GetDlgItem( testing )->SetWindowText( data );
  }
 
  FindClose(hFind);
}

can someone help me out with this?

1. You start with
strcat(data,"\n");
but what is data initialised to? Is it a large char array filled with \0, or just an uninitialised pointer?

2. Consider various combinations of \n and \r to create a newline

3. Consider calling SetWindowText() at the end (just once), when you've finished scanning the directory.
