History

v1.5 2019-11-05
Published on GitHub

v1.5 2012-05-03
The in-place edit controller caused a crash if it lost focus before it was completely created.

v1.4 2011-02-25
Added CRect MZCrumbBar::GetItemRect (CrumbBarItem* pItemChosen) - Provided by Iain Clarke

v1.3 2010-11-13
Added flag CRU_DONOTSTRIPDELIMITER that will keep the double delimiter.
Double delimiter are use to tell MZCrumbarCtrl that it should not break a path when it sees a delimiter.
eg "Main-Sub-Sub--Menu" -> last item is normal shown as "Sub-Menu" but with this flag
it is shown as "Sub--Menu" since the double delimiter is not stripped
or for example "\Server\Share\Folder" -> first item will now be shown as "\Server" and not as "\Server"

v1.2 2010-04-15

• Added improvements/fixes provided by Iain Clarke
  
• 3 more BuildCrumbbar(...) function for special situations.
  
• Refactored how a path is parsed.
  
• Added CRU_LASTITEMNODELIMITER. If style is set the Delimiter will not be shown for last crumbbar item.
  
• Style can now be set using styleEx.
  
• Change Default hot color to COLOR_HOTLIGHT
  
• Added possibility to store custom data in a Crumbbar item.
  
• Added SetItemData/GetItemData of custom data to crumbbar items.
  
• Fixed so that if double delimiter now works again. Double delimiter should be part of the crumbpath name, not a splitter.
  
• Change so that items are added to m_vCrumbItems via the virtual function AddCrumbItem(...)
  
• Fixed so that empty path parts are not added to the path.

How to add directory contents

Very interesting implementation of bread crumb navigation. I've been looking for an open source alternative in C++ and found yours.

In the example, you've hardcoded "C:\Windows\System32" but I'd like to be able to use for real file system navigation. I suppose I could use something like this (FindFirstFile(), FindNextFile(), and FindClose()) to list files in the directory that MZCrumbBar OnLButtonClick(), but is there a control to pass them to such that a drop down can be populated? I'm thinking like the way Windows Explorer address bar works:

I'm thinking like this:

Cheers.
