Thread: Viewing full filename in ListBox?

I have something in a ListBox withe a file thing in it where you can nav. through your files. How do I show the full name instead of just DOS name?

How are you putting the file names in the listbox? Either sending a LB_DIR message or using the DlgDirList() function will result in the full name being displayed.

I am using LB_DIR. When it's in the LB it shows up as something like this:


(example)

progr~1.exe

How do I show:

"program.exe"?

not sure what header this is in...try stdlib.h...here's the list of headers I have at the top of the program I have this in

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "resource.h"
#include "resrc1.h"
#include <mmsystem.h>
#include <process.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <io.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

Code:

char pathname[255]={0};
struct _finddata_t fileinfo;
long findhandle;

				GetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_FOLDER, pathname, 255);
				strcat(pathname,"*.mp3");

				findhandle = _findfirst(pathname,&fileinfo);

				if (findhandle==-1)
				{
					MessageBox(NULL, "Directory Not Found", "Error", MB_OK);
					return FALSE;
				}
				SendMessage(hwndList, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)fileinfo.name);
				while(_findnext(findhandle,&fileinfo)==0)
				{
					SendMessage(hwndList, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)fileinfo.name);
				}

that help you any?

There is no call to

_findclose()

to terminate the function call
