Browse Directory problem in XP

[Radu]

Hi
I am having the following code to browse a directory. Everything works fine on win2000 but it looks like on xp the app hangs. I don't have an xp version now to try to debug so I thought maybe someone knows some basic problem about the code beforehand...

void CPhraseTableGeneratorDlg::OnInputDirBtn() 
{
    char szPath[1000];
    BROWSEINFO bi;
    memset(&bi, 0, sizeof(bi));

    bi.hwndOwner = m_hWnd;
    bi.lpszTitle = "Please select an input folder";

    LPITEMIDLIST pIDL = ::SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);
    SHGetPathFromIDList(pIDL,szPath);
    dirPath = (CString)szPath;

   SetCurrentDirectory((LPCTSTR)dirPath);
}

Hi,

At least the CString dirPath is undeclared. Fix by doing this;

CString dirPath = (CString)szPath;

When fixed this it works for me

thanks for your reply but this is already declared in the header file.

Thats working fine for me too.. both in debug and release too......

the problem may not be bcoz of this browse code,
I feel it may be bcoz of something else...

Thanx

thanks too, that sounds bad
i guess I'll have to try to find a machine where it hangs.. dammit!
I thought it might be because i had linked the libraries dynamically and there could be a mismatch in a dll version on the guy's machine but after i linked them statically the problem happened again.
anyway thanks again for trying!

Could this be related to some asian language pack problem? the guy who has this error is located in korea.
