2) How can I have a list of all the files in a directory? If I''m wording that wrong, look at almost any programs File Open dialog box. How can I have it display the contents of a directory?
3) Can anyone point me towards a good tutorial on how to write a simple windows text editor? I can''t seem to find any in C++ for some reason...
Thanks again!

Some stupid Windows Questions...
Author
First off, sorry if this isn''t the right board for this kinda thing, but I couldn''t find any that are particularly related to this. Thanks in advance if you can answer any of these.
1) I have a dialog box with an edit box in it. The edit box is initially disabled. How can I enable the edit box at a later time? And why is such a thing so undocumented?
2) How can I have a list of all the files in a directory? If I''m wording that wrong, look at almost any programs File Open dialog box. How can I have it display the contents of a directory?

Use EnableWindow(hWnd); (hWnd is the handle to your Edit Box)
---------------
I finally got it all together...
...and then forgot where I put it.

Oops, sorry, u have to pass a second parameter to EnableWindow - a BOOL indicating whether it should be enabled or disabled:
EnableWindow(hWnd,TRUE); //Enables it
EnableWindow(hWnd,FALSE); //Disables it
Hope this helps...

See FindFirstFile, FindNextFile, etc...

You can do what Oluseyi suggested, but you probably want to look at the Win32 common dialogs. Take a look at this page.

One more Q, Admiral Binary...
This is a REALLY stupid question, but what''s the best way to get the handle to the edit box, then? I understand handles to the dialog box, windows, and all that stuff, but I''m missing something there. How do I get the handle to an item within the dialog box...?

Use GetDlgItem(DialogHandle, ItemNumber).
