As has already been suggested, start with the basics and build upon them (e.g., remove the callback function, change ulFlags). Don't try and debug a problem with so many "unknowns."

Try This.
LPMALLOC pMalloc;
LPITEMIDLIST pidl;
TCHAR szPath [MAX_PATH];
BROWSEINFO bi = { GetSafeHwnd(), NULL, szPath,NULL,
BIF_VALIDATE|BIF_UAHINT|BIF_USENEWUI|BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS, NULL, NULL };
pidl = SHBrowseForFolder ( &bi );
if ( NULL != pidl )
{
if ( SHGetPathFromIDList ( pidl, szPath ) )
{
}
SHGetMalloc ( &pMalloc );
pMalloc->Free(pidl);
pMalloc->Release();
}

Please use 'code block' button for code snippets.
At first look your function call doesn't match well with function prototype.

This line looks very suspiscious: how is szSelectedDir defined?

Hello,
I have a created a map named mapList
std::map<string, std::vector<FileInfo*>> mapList;
and loading to key and value.
when i try to create a view of the file in the process address space (MapViewOfFile) which returns a pointer to the file view.
error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'std::map<_Kty,_Ty> *' to 'LPCTSTR' msg is thrown
I think there is an error in typecasting from 'std::map<_Kty,_Ty> *' to 'LPCTSTR' as i'm implementing in below manner.
pBuf = (std::map<string, FileInfo*> *)MapViewOfFile(hMapSharedMemory, FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS, 0, 0, 0);
Can anyone suggest me a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Mayur M

Wow, your code seems to be wrong on so many points 
First thing, why are you trying to assign a pointer to a map into a LPCTSTR pointer (I guess that pBuf is LPCTSTR by lookking at your error). That doesn't make any sense to me.
Second, you can't put a full map this way in the shared memory. You will need to serialize in some way your array: write the number of elements and then write all the elements one by one in the shared memory. You will need to apply the same principle when you deserialize: read the number of elements, then the elements one by one and add them to a local map object.

There are so many things wrong with attempting what you are that it's difficult to know where to start...
However, the main point is that std::map, std::string and std::vector all rely on pointers to external data. You do not have control over those pointers, so you cannot guarantee that they will lie within the mapped area of memory (unless you use specialised allocators, as documented here[^]).

Your immediate problem here is a symptom of a bigger one. Tell us more about what you're trying to do and maybe we can suggest a solution to the bigger problem.

Thanks for the reply.
sry for not providing proper information.
I'm facing a new problem of coping the contents from map to a map pointer.
pBuf = (std::map<string, FileInfo*> *)MapViewOfFile(hMapSharedMemory, FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS, 0, 0, 0);
std::map<string, FileInfo*> mapList;
I have to insert the mapList to pBuf.
Does insert or get_allocator resolve my problem.

As I said before...that's just not going to work. What problem are you trying to solve with this?
If you want to share/communicate a map between two or more processes using shared memory, look at Boost.Interprocess[^] - that has containers designed to be used in a shared memory area.
If you're just sending the map from one process to another, I'd serialize it - Boost.Serialization[^] is an option there.

But right now i'm just looking for copying the contents of a map to map pointer. Nothing more than that

Are you seeing some relationship between the 'Map' in 'MapViewOfFile' and the 'map' in 'std::map'? Because if you are and that's why you're using std::map...well, there is no relationship between those two 'map's at all.
But that's the trouble - without telling us what you're trying to accomplish, we can't help you.

Hi,
Sorry for the improper title, which has created a lot of confusions.
I have a map of type
Std::map<string, FileInfo*> ActualMap;
Std::map<string, FileInfo*>::iterator mapIterator
Typedef std::pair <string, FileInfo*>;
The FileInfo is a class which contains the properties of the files.
I am inserting all the values properly into the ActualMap and then it has to be shared with another process in the same machine using the Named SharedMemory. So, I have implemented in following way
Std::map<string, fileinfo*=""> *pBuffer;
pBuffer = (std::map<string, fileinfo*=""> *)MapViewOfFile(hMapSharedMemory, FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS, 0, 0, 0);
once the above mapping of the view is done, I have inserted all the key-value from the ActualMap as
CopyMemory((PVOID) pBuf, &mapList, (mapList.size() * sizeof(std::map<string,FileInfo>)));
Now, in the client application i'm able to retireve only the size of the map but not the key-value pairs and their data.
So, please help in solving this problem.
Regards,
Mayur M

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to convert BOOL in to System::String* __gc
I'm really wired with this... 
Thanks a lot.
I appreciate your help all the time...

Please ask it in the C++/CLI forum. This is the original C++ forum.

I'm not sure I would ever ask such question, anyway, if I should, then I would ask it in the managed C++/CLI forum [^].

I'll join in the chorus of "wrong forum!".
But before you ask the question there, think about it yourself.
You have two things:
1/ A BOOL. This is a thing which has two states, true or false. 1 or 0. Orange or green. I use BOOL to represent whether something is on or off. So, it could also mean "Give Iain Money" / "Give Iain Kisses".
2/ System::String * is some weird thing from another language. But it sounds a lot like a string. (I know, I'm a genius with psychic powers). So, it would be some sort of text representation.
So, you need to understand what that BOOL represents before you can turn it into text.
Start this conversation:
CodingLover's Mum: "Darling, what does this mean when it's on?"
CodingLover: "Ah, it means __________________________"
CodingLover's Mum: "Darling, what does this mean when it's off?"
CodingLover: "Ah, it means __________________________"
But you're not done... Try this conversation also:
CodingLover's Swedish Girlfriend: "Älskling, vad innebär det när den är på gång?"
CodingLover: "Ah, it means __________________________"
CodingLover's Swedish Girlfriend: "Älskling, vad innebär det när den är avstängd?"
CodingLover: "Ah, it means __________________________"
Text is a pain - for some reason, people all over the world like to use their own language, instead of God's Good English!

Thanks for the comment. I'm not an experienced person in C/C++, and that's why I ask a question here, after different things workout.
Anyway, I'll try my best next time what you are saying in the above post.
I appreciate your help all the time...

Well, the answer to your question isn't really a "how do I write this code" answer, it's a "what does this mean / how do I represent it to the user" question, and that will be the same whether you write in VB, FORTRAN, C, ruby, etc.
In my miniscule experience, the hard questions are not coding ones, they are deciding what to code...
Good luck,
Iain

If you want to get a string value representing the BOOL, then this function ought to do you:
System::String^ GetStringFromBOOL(BOOL b)
{
return Boolean(b!=FALSE).ToString();
}
This uses C++/CLR rather than Managed C++, which is why I have System::String^ rather than System::String* (^ is a managed pointer in C++/CLR).
