Title: How to create a menu from a directory tree (easy to use).
Question: I wanted to simulate the "favorites" of IE, and that's the result:
Answer:
First of all, add this:
Procedure CreateTreeMenus( Path : String; Root : TMenuItem );
Var
SR : TSearchRec;
Result : Integer;
Item : TMenuItem;
Begin
Path := IncludeTrailingBackSlash( Path );
Result := FindFirst( Path + '*.*', faDirectory, SR );
While ( Result = 0 ) Do Begin
If ( ( ( SR.Attr And faDirectory ) 0 ) And ( SR.Name '.' ) And ( SR.Name '..' ) ) Then Begin
Item := TMenuItem.Create( Self );
Item.Caption := SR.Name;
Root.Add( Item );
CreateTreeMenus( Path + SR.Name, Item );
End;
Result := FindNext( SR );
End;
SysUtils.FindClose( SR );
End;
Then call the function in this way:
CreateTreeMenus( 'C:\MyApp\MyFavs', mnuPreferiti );
That's all folks!
