General Questions / Re: Folders and Files

Good effort, Egil! But what I really want is for drives and folders to be in their own Treeview control. Anyway, here's your code converted to IWB, if anyone is interested

I don't have IWB on this laptop, but I think I have a similar snippet for IWB or EB at home.
But here is the code for CreativeBasic. Should be easy to convert to IWB


Good Luck!

General Questions / Folders and Files

Last post by Brian - April 02, 2024, 08:33:50 AM

Considering what I am doing with my GDI Picture Viewer, in that I am using an external DLL (pbsctrl.dll) to show drives, folders and files, does anyone have the code to do the same thing using Windows API?

There does seem to be some drawbacks in using this DLL, one being the loss of file icons (icon memory running out?), and it not always showing folders properly, ie, hanging up at times

Sorry about this, but while I was giving the program a good run through yesterday, I found it was hanging up at times when changing to different directories

I think I have fixed the problem, so please use this version instead

OK, couldn't resist! Now when the window is resized, the loaded image is redrawn to fit the window. Before, you had to first click a filename, resize your window, and then click the filename again

Bit of slight flickering going on, but I can live with that. Very easy fix, as well

Exe and source code in the zip

I think I have taken this program as far as I want, so I doubt I will be doing any more on it. Don't fancy having to learn more of the hundreds of GDI calls, really!

Added bitmaps to the menus
Added an About box
Added more file info into the Statusbar
Slight update to the image proportion code
Exe included

I figured it out, I have to run the program as the Administrator, and it works fine.  Now all I need to do is complete the program.

Sorted the proportionate sizing of images, so if an image will fit in the window, no resizing is done; if the image is too big to fit in the window, then it is proportionately resized. Code and exe in the zip

Added a menu for later additions
Changed the main program icon
Coloured the statusbar, and added an icon
Added image horizontal and vertical resolutions to the statusbar
Added VERSIONINFO into the resource (.rc) file

Removed previous upload, as the program is now a Project

Came home late friday night, but going back after Easter.
Had just started looking at your code in Notepad when I decided to check the Forum.
Just deleted the included ini file, and the error was gone!
Never used GDI myself, so will study your code to see how it is done.

All the best!
