I was thinking of doing some sort of simple backup program and I was curious if there were some relatively simple way of getting an Windows Explorer like view on the left which shows all the drives, special folders etc.., from which a person can choose things. I'd like to actually program the thing rather than use some ActiveX thing (which I figure is available somewhere), unless there is some built in dialog or class available. I kind of assume CFileDialog isn't setup for the explorer type window, unless there is some magic switch there...
What I do need for sure is a way of getting the root drives c,d,e,f, etc.. , special folders my computer, desktop, my documents, my blah blah, etc.. Do I have to grab the special folders separately, guess at them (i.e. root/desktop is there -> that's desktop etc)? Search for %variable% kinds of things?
I'd also like to be able to grab the icons too, since I can't make them as pretty myself.
Kind of new to windows programming, although I can figure out how to use the tree control, etc..
I am using VC++ 6....
and oh I didn't really mean dialog per se, but to have such a display as part of a window, etc..
