Hi frnd

I'm supposed to provide a mechanise for file browsing in PDA. I've used openfile Dialog control , but it only supports browsing of folders under My Documents, whereas I'm in need for searching every folder in PDA
Can you plz suggest me a way to handle the above situation ?
Any tip or suggestion would be of great use

Thankx
 
This is a limitation imposed by Pocket PC, not the .NETCF dialogs. The shell
file dialogs support only the My Documents folder and equivalent folders on
storage cards. On generic Windows CE systems the Open File Dialog allows
browsing the full file system.

If you want to browse the whole file system on a Pocket PC, you'll need to
implement your own custom dialogs. This article (targeted at Smartphone)
shows a basic solution:-

That's the behavior of the Dialog on the PPC. It acts the same under C++.
The only workaround is to create a new dialog from scratch.
