Recursive Function

Hi, all

We are using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Service Pack 6. We need to develop a
recursive function to search files in fix drives of user machine. Is there
one API that implement recursity in it? Will we need to develop recursive
function using FindFirstFile and FindNextFile?

Thanks in advance.

Not that I'm aware of.

function using FindFirstFile and FindNextFile?


I believe so.

A desktop search software is available fom Microsoft, Google and maybe other
vendors. It might expose some API that you can use.
Before rolling your own, it's definitely worth to check out.
