Making explorer style folder view...

[-{ Rene Brehmer }-]

Okay ... this has me total baffled ... it's gotta be one of the most common
things to done with any program that works on files ... and yet I can't find
any documentation on how to do it ...

Simple task: create a folder-tree like the one Windows Explorer has ...

How the h... do you do that ??? ...

Logically I figured I'd use the TTreeView for it ... but all the samples
I've found either use pre-cooked textfiles or database data to do it ... so
I've got no idea how to use a stream to fill it, or which stream to use, or
how to get the stream into the tree ...

And the Borland help file is like beyond useless when it comes to this ...
(some samples of common tasks would be a good idea you know ... atleast to
me, this is common)

I'm new to C++ ... I'm used at Basic, VB, PHP and Java ... so C++ isn't very
logical or simple in my eyes...

Anyone care to help with some source ... or direct me to where I can find it
???
TIA

Rene

Logically I figured I'd use the TTreeView for it ... This , of course, depends on the windowing toolkit that you are
using - ms vc++ , gtk , wxwindows, fltk (whatz it that you are talking
about it). Irrespective of what it is, this is not the right newsgroup ..

That would be Borland C++ Builder ... and sorry for not being able to find
right group ... was pretty (very) late, and I was pretty sick of googling
for naught ...

If this group isn't for development, then what is it for ???
(And don't worry about the FUT, I do respect it, just reply my own way)

The news server newsgroups.borland.com has everything you could ever
want to know about borland products. HTH.
