Long file names in DlgDirList

I am using the DlgDirList function to display the contents of directories but it does not display long file names it uses the ~ symbol to shorten it.  Is it possible to display the full name?

Actually, that is from Microsoft Systems Journal (Paul DiLascia) and is provided as part of MSDN.
True.  I write the "from the VC help" before finding the article  (I knew it was there). and didn't go back to correct my note after I pasted it in.

Ronslow, out of curiosity--and don't take this the wrong way, I'm just asking--Why are you here again these days?
My interest goes in waves .. and the offer of a PDA for being in the TOP 100 spiked my interest.  I had a look and I'd dropped from #7 down to around #44 (I think) .. Now I've workd my way up to #40 again .. but still a long climb ahead.

I tend to move between news-groups, mailing lists, gode guru, EE and just having a break.

Now I'm back .. be afraid .. be very afraid ;-)

PS: Only pointed out the source of your info in case someone not having MSDN tried to find this in the VC help and wondered what you were talking about.
