G'day People,
I have been working on a DialogHookProc for SFGetFile. I want
to do special things when a folder is clicked upon and opened.
However I have a little problem, the item number passed into the
DialogHookProc is 103 when a folder is opened. I want to get the name
of the folder that has been clicked upon. According to the documentation
reply.fName gets filled with the current file that is highlighted. That
is only if the file ISN'T a folder. So the big question is....
How do I get the name of the folder?
I wish to use GetFInfo() to examine it, but I cannot get the parameters
Is there some way of examining the UserItem #7 (the scrolling list of files)?

The directory selected has its dirID stuffed into the fType field of the SFReply record, as documented in inside Mac volume IV. I'm not sure whether the vRefNum is stored in the reply.vRefNum at that point or not; if not, it's in SFSaveDisk (or rather, vRefNum * -1 is there) in current systems, and probably on future systems.
