Re: wxGenericDirCtrl not showing files with no extension MSW

I think you need to use "*" as wildcard string. The default "*.*" doesn't match files with no extension. That resolves the issue, so I've marked this as accepted. Thank you. I have code to parse the selected directories for files using the Windows API call FindFirstFile with the...
