How to search for all Drive and display as TreeView ?

[hank_heng]

Hi,
Is there any simple way to detect all available drive and display it in a Treeview control ?

Is there any ocx or API call to do it ?

Thanks for reading this.

I remember seeing the answer to your question in MSDN ages ago, under "Using the ListView control" or something like that. It gives an example of what you are trying to do, but it is incredibly complex, so I gave up and used a Browse All Folders dialog using API instead!

If anyone does know of any APIs or OCX's, or even any code, I would gladly swap my Browse All Folders dialog for a ListView - looks so much better!

Good luck!

Good luck,

I don't remembet exactly how now, I'm not at my home computer, but by using a listview control containing icons for drive types and open and closed folders in conjunction with the getDriveType API I was able to make a treeview control act like the one in windows explorer, loading the contents of each subdir as is clicked.

You may also want to put a my computer icon as the parent node to each folder. and a desktop icon too...

the getdrivetype api can be researched at www.vbapi.com

good luck
