CkDirTree C++ Reference Documentation
CkDirTree
Current Version: 10.0.0
API for iterating over the files and sub-directories in a directory tree. The intent of this class is to provide a simplified, non-recursive way to iterate over an entire directory tree.
Object Creation
// Local variable on the stack CkDirTree obj; // Dynamically allocate/delete CkDirTree *pObj = new CkDirTree(); // ... delete pObj;
Properties
BaseDir
const char *baseDir(void);
void put_BaseDir(const char *ansiOrUtf8Str);
DebugLogFilePath
const char *debugLogFilePath(void);
void put_DebugLogFilePath(const char *ansiOrUtf8Str);
If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.
This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:
- a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
- the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
- there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.
DoneIterating
Set to true when the last file or sub-directory has been iterated.
topFileSize32
The file size of the current file in the iteration. (0 if it is a directory.)
topFileSize64
The file size as a 64-bit integer of the current file in the iteration. (0 if it is a directory.)
topFileSizeStr
The file size of the current file in the iteration as a decimal string. (0 if it is a directory.)
topFullPath
The absolute directory path of the current file or sub-directory.
topFullUncPath
The absolute UNC directory path of the current file or sub-directory.
topIsDirectory
true if the current position is a sub-directory, false if it is a file.
topLastErrorHtml
Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.
topLastErrorText
Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.
LastErrorXml
Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.
topLastMethodSuccess
void put_LastMethodSuccess(bool newVal);
Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of true indicates success, a value of false indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:
- Any method that returns a string.
- Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
- Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = true and failure = false.
- Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.
Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to true. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.
topRecurse
void put_Recurse(bool newVal);
If true, the iteration will be recursive. If false the iteration is non-recursive. The default value is true.
topRelativePath
The relative directory path of the current file or sub-directory. (Relative to the BaseDir)
topUtf8
void put_Utf8(bool newVal);
When set to true, all "const char *" arguments are interpreted as utf-8 strings. If set to false (the default), then "const char *" arguments are interpreted as ANSI strings. Also, when set to true, and Chilkat method returning a "const char *" is returning the utf-8 representation. If set to false, all "const char *" return values are ANSI strings.
topVerboseLogging
void put_VerboseLogging(bool newVal);
If set to true, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is false. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

Methods
AdvancePosition
Advances the current position in the directory tree traversal to the next file or sub-directory.
Important: If AdvancePosition returns false, it can be an error, or it could be that there are no more files and directories. To distinguish between the two cases, examine the DoneIterating property. If DoneIterating is true, then the false return value is not an error, but instead indicates that the end has been reached.
Returns true for success, false for failure.
BeginIterate
Begins a directory tree traversal. After calling this method, the various property values such as Fullpath, FileSize32, etc. can be retrieved for the 1st file / sub-directory in the traversal.
Important: If BeginIterate returns false, it can be an error, or it could be that there are 0 files and directories. To distinguish between the two cases, examine the DoneIterating property. If DoneIterating is true, then the false return value is not an error, but instead indicates 0 files/directories.
Returns true for success, false for failure.
