</fig> <p>Taking the above directory structure, if <codeph>SetScanData()</codeph> is
called as follows:</p> <codeblock id="GUID-B6CEF818-9044-58B9-BEBF-EB05BE6F89A9" xml:space="preserve">_LIT(KDirText,"C:\\TopDir\\");
...
SetScanDataL(KDirText,KEntryAttDir,ESortByName|EAscending,CDirScan::EScanDownTree);
...</codeblock> <p>then the directories are scanned, by repeatedly calling <codeph>CDirScan::NextL()</codeph> in
the following order: <filepath>TopDir</filepath>, <filepath>Dir1</filepath>, <filepath>Dir2</filepath>, <filepath>Dir3</filepath>, <filepath>Dir4</filepath>, <filepath>Dir5</filepath>, <filepath>Dir6</filepath>, <filepath>Dir7</filepath>.
The sort key of <codeph>EAscending</codeph> means that multiple directories
within the same parent directory are scanned in ascending alphabetic or numeric
order.</p> <p>If the scan direction is upwards, i.e.<codeph>CDirScan::EScanUpTree</codeph>,
the directories are scanned in the order: <filepath>Dir2</filepath>, <filepath>Dir4</filepath>, <filepath>Dir3</filepath>, <filepath>Dir1</filepath>, <filepath>Dir6</filepath>, <filepath>Dir7</filepath>, <filepath>Dir5</filepath>, <filepath>TopDir</filepath>.</p> </section>
