WinExec Find Files or Folders? - Part II

>> pushing your luck works sometimes eh :-)
>> actually i quite like writing stuff like that so i dont mind.

Barry,

Well...since you are so helpful and enjoy writing this type of stuff...I'll push my luck even further...

Can you set the default "look in" path to "C:\" ?

...and pushing further...

Can you make Delphi "push" the "Find now" button?

Hoping I'm still lucky...

Much thanks.

....the "Include subfolders" checkbox...can we make sure that it is toggled 'on' too?

Double thanks.

This will make the checkbox always checked:


Procedure Checked;
var h:hwnd;
state : integer;
begin
h:=FindWindow(nil,'Find: All Files');
h:=getwindow(h,GW_CHILD);
h:=FindWindowex(h,0,nil,'Include &subfolders');
SendMessage(h,BM_SETCHECK,BST_CHECKED,0);
end;


there is a problem with the directory though it need more than just write the text ,it need some other message sent to or it still searches in the old dir.
its not to bad though as the default dir is c:\ anyway but i presume you want to put custom dirs in there like d:\delphi\mydefphiapp\somedir\
ill try fix it up after some food..
Unfortunately this works only with the english version...   :-(

Regards, Madshi.
I've another idea:

You can save a search with all options to a file. Now if we would know the format of this file, we could temporarily create such a file, start it with ShellExecute and then delete the file again...

Perhaps the format description is here?

http://www.wotsit.org/

Don't know...

HI Madshi,
will the foillowing work in german version?
ive only used classnames instead of window titles.

how you save a search to file?
i have a "save" on the menu but what file and filetype is it saved in?
maybe registry..
Hi Barry...

No, not in the registry. If I save a search, there is a file on the desktop created, with the extension "*.fnd".

And no, sorry, your sources don't work, because the class "#32770" is not only used by the find window, but by several windows.

Regards, Madshi.
ahh yes now i see it(i have many things open at once and didnt see the desktop icon it created :-)

i know #32770 its also class name for others but it hasnt failed on me yet.
will look into the find file type see aht i can find (no pun intended :-)
 
i thought my code for this was bad enough....

and if your wondering what thats from.... http://members.xoom.com/craig_c/

Craig C.

Barry, well done! on that splendid piece of code....
Can someone tell me what expert "craig_capel" 's comment has to do with my question?

His code appears totally irrelevant, and is this common for an expert to post an advertisement to his Web site, which has hacker and virus information?
HACKER?!!! and VIRUS?!?!?!

uhhh where?

nothing in my program that regards that.... that was a security program, and if you bothered to ched it out, its neither an advertisement (that implies on selling something) and its not a Virus, just what can you see that i can not.....

Your Web site has a link to a virus collection.

And what does your security program have to do with the original question I posted?
so then.... whats my web page got to do with my source code?.... and have you ran the security program?... if so whats the problem....

and the second question, NOTHING at all..... jost got bored...
You yourself posted the following comment....

  "and if your wondering what thats from....
            http://members.xoom.com/craig_c/ "

So how can you claim ignorance of the relationship between your posting of source code to your Web site?  You pointed people to your Web site if people wondered what the source code was all about.  And who would NOT wonder, seeing your source has nothing to do with the original question?.

Have I run your security program?  Would I?  No, I would not trust any program written by someone whose Web site gives instructions on how to reformat others' harddrives and who has links to live viruses, not to mention whose author posts lengthy off topic source code that has nothing to do with the original question, and then who sheeplishly asks "so what's the problem"?  I would not trust such a program in the least.

If you are bored, try being helpful, not a nuisance.  If you are a talented programmer or technician, then use your time constructively.

If you have a trustworthy piece of software you wish to distribute, then advertise it at Freeware software sites...not at Expert's Exchange.
just to comment...... it already is at a good few freeware sites............. so go and look for it
