Hi,

Cegui does not provide such browse features, you'd need a local API to browse a directory for files. After that it's mainly storing all found entries in your list, like you had to do earlier when storing Image names into a ListBox

The list type mainly depends on your specs. A Combobox already has an Editbox for example, which might make things a bit more straightforward.

hi ScriptKid

Yes, you need a combination of FindFirstFile and FindNextFile, as shown in this sample: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365200(VS.85).aspx

It's a bit verbose, but you need the part from:

Code: Select all

// Find the first file in the directory.

   hFind = FindFirstFile(szDir, &ffd);


And the the loop below it.
