Here this is how u do it.

Code:

---

char szPath[MAX_PATH];
        BROWSEINFO lpbi;
        ::ZeroMemory(&lpbi,sizeof(BROWSEINFO));
       
        ITEMIDLIST *folder  =  ::SHBrowseForFolder(&lpbi);
       
        ::SHGetPathFromIDList(folder,szPath);

        CFileDialog cd(1,NULL,NULL,OFN_HIDEREADONLY|OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT,NULL,NULL);
        cd.DoModal();
       

       
        CString sFullMask = szPath + CString("\\*.*");
        list<string> ldf;
        CFileFind finder;

        bool bFound;
        bFound=finder.FindFile(sFullMask);

        while ((bFound))
        {
                bFound = finder.FindNextFile();
                if (!finder.IsDots())
                {
                                       
                        // Add file to list
                        string sName = finder.GetFilePath();
                        if (finder.IsDirectory()) sName += "\\";
                                ldf.push_back(sName);
               
                       
                                       
                }
        }
