Making a list of folders in a directory with wxWidgets

Question

I\'m making an application with wxWidgets that has a listbox in it. I want to get the current working directory of the application, and in that listbox, list all the folders

Answer 1

For listing all the folder names in a list,

#include "wx/dirdlg.h"

wxDirDialog dialog(parent, wxT("Testing directory picker"), cwd, wxDD_NEW_DIR_BUTTON);
if (dialog.ShowModal() == wxID_OK)
{
     wxString path = dialog.GetPath();
     wxMessageBox(path);
}

Note : You can use path in any way you wish, here it just displays in a message box.

But of course if you want to display folder names in your custom dialog to your user, you can use RyanWilcox solution.

EDIT: In your code you have not created dirList (or you have posted incomplete code)

wxArrayString MainWindow::createFolderList()
{
    wxDir dir(wxGetCwd());
    if ( !dir.IsOpened() )
         ;//handle this error here

    wxString dirName = dir.GetName();
    wxArrayString dirList;

    dir.GetAllFiles(dirName, &dirList, wxEmptyString, wxDIR_DIRS | wxDIR_FILES);

    //Note that next statement is optional
    dirList.shrink();

    return dirList;
}

Your implementation might differ, but I have adapted this code, from my own working code.
