    DriveListBox in C++

    Ok guys, long time no see here i am with a question,
    is there a way (via api or in a dialog) to display a control similar to the 'DriveListBox' in the Common Dialog (Open & Save As...)

    you know? with those cool icons next to them
    Sure I can enumerate the Drives, but I can't make it with the icons...
    maybe there's some pre-made API thing??
    Thanks,

    Jop

    were you looking for the Common Dialog boxes or just that specific control?

    i think he means the combo box at the top of the common dialog, the one that displays all your drives and your desktop folders in it.

    Well..you can fill a combo box with drives by sending the CB_DIR message to it, look in MSDN for details.
    But I dunno about the icons; look in the Shell bit of MSDN for that - it tends to contain the "cool" controls like listview, and probably that.

    Yep I was talking about the thing on top of the Save As... dialog

    I guess there isn't a seperate control for that so I'll have to make an owner-drawn ComboBox, that'll work...

    thanx for the attention though!

    Use a ComboBoxEx.

    Before you use CreateDialog or DialogBox, you need to use InitCommonControlsEx -- look in the PSDK for details coz I can't remember
