- Hi! I have a few 16 bit Visual C++ questions. Any help would be very
- much appreciated.
-
- 1. I want a dialog which is like CFileDialog, except that it ONLY allows
- the user to select a directory (not a file). This type of dialog is
- useful for allowing the user to select the destination directory where a
- softwarer package will be installed. Any hints as to where I should start?
-
- 2. I want another modal dialog which will start doing something as soon
- as it is created. Specifically, it will start installing software and
- show the progress. The problem is, OnInitDialog specifies things to do
- just BEFORE the window is created. I want the dialog to automatically do
- something just AFTER the window is created. In the meantime, I have a
- button called "go!" which the user must press before the software installs.
-
- 3. Where can I find out how to do disk-specific activities?
- Specifically, I want to format a floppy from within my C++ program, and I
- want to check how much drive space is available.
-
- Thanks so much,
- Dave Clausen
