  struct PluginPanelItem **pPanelItem,
  int *pItemsNumber
);

Parameters

Dir

Name of the directory to scan. It can be a name only or a full pathname.

Points to the variable that will receive the address of an array of PluginPanelItem structures.
When this array is no longer needed, it must be passed to the FreeDirList function.

pItemsNumber

Points to the variable that will receive the number of PluginPanelItem PluginPanelItem structures.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE. If the function fails or directory scanning is cancelled by the user, FALSE is returned.

The user can interrupt the directory scanning process by pressing Esc. In this case the function will return FALSE.
