Device List Access

Apr 12 2007 9:29 PM

What I am looking to do is to provide the user (who runs my program) with a list of devices that they can pick from.  You can do this with an Open File dialog if you click on "My Computer".  What I want to know is how I can set up the dialog before the user opens it to prsent this list.  How would  you do this in C++?  Have you seen it done before?

I want one of two (or both) solutions.

#1) I already have a custom File Open dialog program written where I am able to make sure that the user selects a directory and is not allowed to input a filename.  Now I just want to know how to set up this estantiated FileOpen class so that it will first come up with the "My Computer" area showing.

OR

#2) I want to create a drop-down menu that only shows the devices for the user to pick from.  In other words, just the C drive, the D drive, etc.
