RAPI Question ...

[JustMe]

Is it possible to use RAPI in a desktop app to mimic the EXPLORE window that
ActiveSync contains? In other words to be able to display a browsable tree
of all folders and files contained on the device?

Any suggestions and/or sample source would be greatly appreciated.

Sure. I can't give you a "sample" as you need an entire application. You
will have to create the app, the treeview, the ListView and populate them
all as the user changes directories. FWIW, Remote File Explorer already
does exactly this.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply. I guess my question is what functions of RAPI do I
use to obtain the list of folders and files?

Thanks again,

I'd think you could do it all with CeFindFirstFile and CeFindNextFile

Hi again,

I've searched all the newsgroups for info on how to access these two
methods, and can't find anything.

I've found LOTS of info on how to access many of the other RAPI methods, but
not these two specific ones.

Does anyone have any suggetsions on how I can accomplish this?

Thanks,

The OpenNetCF Communication library has them. There's also a class which
encapsulates the FileInformation structure filled by the calls, so that you
don't have to map them to byte[] yourself.
