        wxDirTraverserSimple(wxArrayString& files) : m_files(files) { }

            return wxDIR_CONTINUE;
        }

        virtual wxDirTraverseResult OnDir(const wxString& WXUNUSED(dirname))
        {
            return wxDIR_CONTINUE;
        }

    private:
        wxArrayString& m_files;
    };

    // get the names of all files in the array
    wxArrayString files;
    wxDirTraverserSimple traverser(files);

    wxDir dir(dirname);

/**
    @class wxDir

    wxDir is a portable equivalent of Unix open/read/closedir functions which
    allow enumerating of the files in a directory. wxDir allows to enumerate
    files as well as directories.

    wxDir also provides a flexible way to enumerate files recursively using
    Traverse() or a simpler GetAllFiles() function.

    Example of use:

    @code
    wxDir dir(wxGetCwd());

    if ( !dir.IsOpened() )
    {
        // deal with the error here - wxDir would already log an error message
        // explaining the exact reason of the failure
        return;
    }

    puts("Enumerating object files in current directory:");

    wxString filename;

    bool cont = dir.GetFirst(&filename, filespec, flags);
    while ( cont )
    {
        printf("%s\n", filename.c_str());

        cont = dir.GetNext(&filename);
    }
