Topic: Specify root folder for CXTShellTreeCtrl

Is there a way to specify the starting folder for a CXTShellTreeCtrl derived class? I don't want to display all drives and folders on my system. I want to specify a path and have only the sub-folders of this path displayed.

Thanks,

Larry

call

void CXTShellTreeBase::PopulateTree(LPCTSTR lpszPath)

m_wndShellTree.EnableAutoInit(FALSE);

m_wndShellTree.Create(WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD, CXTPEmptyRect(), this, 0);

if (m_wndShellTree.InitializeTree( XTOSVersionInfo()->IsWinXPOrGreater() ?
  (TVS_HASBUTTONS|TVS_SINGLEEXPAND|TVS_TRACKSELECT |TVS_SHOWSELALWAYS) :
    (TVS_HASBUTTONS|TVS_HASLINES|TVS_LINESATROOT) ))
{
  m_wndShellTree.PopulateTree(_T("c:\\"));
}

Oleg. After trying your solution, I do still have a problem. If I use the example program, GUI_Explorer (9.7RC1), and change the code in OnCreate to the following:

    m_shellTree.EnableAutoInit(FALSE);
    if( !m_shellTree.Create(WS_VISIBLE, CRect(0,0,0,0), this, IDC_TREE_VIEW))
    {
        TRACE0( "Unable to create tree control.\n" );
        return -1;
    }

    if (m_shellTree.InitializeTree( XTOSVersionInfo()->IsWinXPOrGreater() ?
    (TVS_HASBUTTONS|TVS_SINGLEEXPAND|TVS_TRACKSELECT |TVS_SHOWSELALWAYS) :
    (TVS_HASBUTTONS|TVS_HASLINES|TVS_LINESATROOT) ))
    {
        m_shellTree.PopulateTree (_T("C:\\Program Files"));
    }

then everything works fine until I click on the root folder. In this case the root folder is "Program Files". What displays in the list control view is the contents of the desktop not the contents of "Program Files".
