assuming you have an MFC app, look at overriding the CDocument::CanCloseFrame() method

I am working with the microsoft speech api (sapi) and I have not been able to find a function which will return any data to the program. I am looking for the function which would return a string, but any returned spoken text would be good.
Thanks

Your second link recommends "So, you need to learn something about Windows operating sytem architecture. This means, at the very least, you need to read Inside Windows whatever-is-the-most-recent-version."

Actually the book's title was changed to Windows Internals, Fourth Edition[^] for the most recent edition. I'd like all my drivers to be written by people who have read and understood this book.

Actually I think it's quite useful for those of us who have never ventured into kernel mode.

Hello everyone,

Are there any samples to traverse a directory and list all the file names? Written in C.

thanks in advance,
George

You can use these API's:
FindFirstFile()
FindNextFile()

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Thank you _AnShUmAn_!

Are they C/C++ standard or Microsoft specific things? I want to use C/C++ standard API in my application.

See

<br />
	WIN32_FIND_DATA find;<br />
	HANDLE handle=FindFirstFile("*.*",&find);<br />
	while(FindNextFile(handle,&find)!=0)<br />
m_List2.AddString(find.cFileName);//m_List2 is CListBox<br />
	FindClose(handle);<br />

Hi WhiteSky,

I find that there are some Microsoft specific things, like WIN32_FIND_DATA. Are there any API/structures which are standard C/C++?

George

Hi Ovidiu,

The sample is very useful. Are there any non-Microsoft specific API/data structure samples? (I mean using pure C/C++ standard API/data structure.)

No file systems are platform specific.

Confused. All file system should be platform specific, on Window there are special file format, and on Linux, there are others.

Yup, that's why there isn’t a single ANSI C++ method for accessing the files on the file system. Not to mention, *Nix and Windows treat directory structures differently. Simply '\' is the directory delimiter for Windows & '/" is the delimiter on *Nix (this is a high level difference, but everything adds up).

If you want something that isn’t platform specific (as your posts indicated) your stuck with Java (I wonder how far along MONO is) or writing two separate classes and figure out which platform your on at compile time.
