Here this is how u do it.

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);
		
			
					
		}
	}

If u dont want to use string<> u can use some ting else ...
