CDN_FOLDERCHANGE notification code (Windows)

[Starting with Windows Vista, the Open and Save As common dialog boxes have been superseded by the Common Item Dialog. We recommended that you use the Common Item Dialog API instead of these dialog boxes from the Common Dialog Box Library.]

Applies to: desktop apps only

Sent by an Explorer-style Open or Save As dialog box when a new folder is opened.

Your OFNHookProc hook procedure receives this message in the form of a WM_NOTIFY message.

#define CDN_FIRST               (0U-601U)
#define CDN_FOLDERCHANGE        (CDN_FIRST - 0x0002)

Parameters

wParam

This parameter is not used.

lParam

A pointer to an OFNOTIFY structure. The OFNOTIFY structure contains an NMHDR structure whose code member indicates the CDN_FOLDERCHANGE notification message.

Return value

The return value is ignored.

Remarks

The system sends this notification only if the dialog box was created using the OFN_EXPLORER value.

To get the path of the newly opened folder, the hook procedure can send the CDM_GETFOLDERPATH message to the dialog box.
