BFFCALLBACK function pointer

Specifies an application-defined callback function used to send messages to, and process messages from, a Browse dialog box displayed in response to a call to SHBrowseForFolder.

Syntax

typedef int ( CALLBACK *BrowseCallbackProc)(
   HWND   hwnd,
   UINT   uMsg,
   LPARAM lParam,
   LPARAM lpData
);

Parameters

hwnd

Type: HWND

The window handle of the browse dialog box.

uMsg

Type: UINT

The dialog box event that generated the message. One of the following values.

BFFM_INITIALIZED

The dialog box has finished initializing.

BFFM_IUNKNOWN

An IUnknown interface is available to the dialog box.

BFFM_SELCHANGED

The selection has changed in the dialog box.

BFFM_VALIDATEFAILED

The user typed an invalid name into the dialog's edit box. A nonexistent folder is considered an invalid name.

lParam

Type: LPARAM

A value whose meaning depends on the event specified in uMsg as follows:

uMsg lParam
BFFM_INITIALIZED Not used, value is NULL.
BFFM_IUNKNOWN A pointer to an IUnknown interface.
BFFM_SELCHANGED A PIDL that identifies the newly selected item.
BFFM_VALIDATEFAILED A pointer to a string that contains the invalid name. An application can use this data in an error dialog informing the user that the name was not valid.

 

lpData

Type: LPARAM

An application-defined value that was specified in the lParam member of the BROWSEINFO structure used in the call to SHBrowseForFolder.

Return value

Type: int

Returns zero except in the case of BFFM_VALIDATEFAILED. For that flag, returns zero to dismiss the dialog or nonzero to keep the dialog displayed.

Remarks

To attach your BrowseCallbackProc to a dialog, specify its address in the lpfn member of the BROWSEINFO structure used in a SHBrowseForFolder call.

BrowseCallbackProc can also send messages to the dialog box through SendMessage, to control these aspects:

  • OK button enabled/disabled
  • OK button text
  • Selected folder
  • Expanded folder
  • Status text

Set the SendMessage function's Msg parameter to one of the following values, providing additional information in the wParam and lParam parameters as indicated for each message type.
