Hello,

I am searching for a class that would listen to a directory and raise an
event /notification in case of file addition, file deletion modification
etc.

.NET has a FileSystemWatcher class for this. I would to right now avoid
using a .NET class for my application. Does anyone know of a similar class
in VC 6.0 libraries.

Regards,
Maansi

Check out the Win32 API call "FindFirstChangeNotification". I'm sure
someone has probably got a wrapper class for it on codeproject.com
