Anyone know a good way to setup file navigation? I want users to be able to change directories and view all files of a specific extension. I was hoping that io.h might have functions to find certain file types and directories within a directory, but I havent been able to find any explination of the functions in io.h Any help would be great. -Shadwdrak

If programming for Windows, I would recommend using the Win32 API for FindFirstFileEx/FindNext/FindClose. If you''re writing a standard windows application you should be able to use the standard file open/save dialog boxes without a problem.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I can''t use the save/open dialog boxes in my case. I am trying to allow the end user to select which map they want to play. (there isnt a set number of maps)

I''m not sure I understand, why can''t you use standard window''s dialogs for opening/saving files? I''m certain both the common control dialog''s for opening/saving allow for searching around the hard drive and do not particularly care about the number of files in any directory

The most common reason for not being able to use the common dialogs is running a full-screen application where the dialog box just wouldn''t display. This is usually a good assumption to make in this forum.
