Long Filenames using CListBox::Dir()

Is it possible to use the CListBox::Dir() function to insert long
filenames into a listbox? Here's a clipping of my code:

	// in .H file
	CListBox m_ListBox;

	// in .CPP file
	int nCount = m_ListBox.Dir(0x4010, DEF_EXT);

The problem is that all file names appears in the DOS 8.3 format or
the abbreviated    format.

Thank you ahead for any help that is provided.

That is my experience, too.  I believe this is a limitation of the
system listbox calls, which the class wraps.

You don't mention which version of Windows you're using.

Please read Knowledge-Base article Q131286.  If you have VC++ 4.0, you would 
have seen this article if you searched books online for "LB_DIR".

If you use Spy++, can you notice any difference between the styles of a dialog 
box and/or a listbox in the system which works (for example, in Notepad) and 
the list box and dialog box you're using?

Here's a solution that has worked for me using Windows 95 and VC++ 4.0:

#define DEF_EXT		"*.txt"
#define GLOBAL_EXT	"*.*"

CString szPath;
WIN32_FIND_DATA wfd;
HANDLE hFindHandle;
// NOTE: m_ListBox is my dialog's ListBox member

// Get the Directories
hFindHandle = FindFirstFile(GLOBAL_EXT, &wfd);
if(hFindHandle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
	if(wfd.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) {
		szPath.Format("%c%s%c", '[', wfd.cFileName, ']');
		m_ListBox.AddString(szPath);
	}
	while(FindNextFile(hFindHandle, &wfd)) {
		if(wfd.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) {
			szPath.Format("%c%s%c", '[', wfd.cFileName, ']');
			m_ListBox.AddString(szPath);
		}
	}
}
FindClose(hFindHandle);

// Get the Filenames
hFindHandle = FindFirstFile(DEF_EXT, &wfd);
if(hFindHandle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
	szPath = wfd.cFileName;
	m_ListBox.AddString(szPath);
	while(FindNextFile(hFindHandle, &wfd)) {
		szPath = wfd.cFileName;
		m_ListBox.AddString(szPath);
	}
}
FindClose(hFindHandle);

// Get Drives
m_ListBoxFrom.Dir(0xC000, GLOBAL_EXT);
