I am developing a form for the user Interface and I want to give user an ability to browse file/dir/drive list box to choose the file as an input. I don't know how to synchronise all three controls to work together on the form. I have following three controls on my form.
1) DriveListBox
2) DirListBox and
3) FileListBox
If I get the code sample from somebody for this, I will really apreciate it.

Thanks,
Pshah

You could do that with something like this...



private Sub Dir1_Change()
File1.Path = Dir1.Path

End Sub

private Sub Drive1_Change()
Dir1.Path = Drive1.Drive

End Sub




But have you thought about using the CommonDialog control? All you would have to do is load the control into the project, apply the control to the form and use this code..


CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
MyFile = CommonDialog1.Filename

Hi,

Put the three controls on a form:

This will help a little in what you are doing

Private Sub Drive1_Change()
Dir1.Path = Drive1.Drive
End Sub

Private Sub Dir1_Change()
File1.Path = Dir1.Path
End Sub

Private Sub File1_Click()

End Sub
