Open a folder....

[AndyK]

You know when you press the command button, you can "open" and .exe, but I need to open a folder...like if I press button, I want it to open "c:\windows", so that I can see contains of "c:\windows" folder

Thank You

I'll give you general outline of how to do this:

1. In VB6, use filesystem object to get a folder object. From the folder object, you can return a list of files in the folder. (If no VB6, you are stuck with the Dir Function).

2. Iterate through the files collection (or do until dir(FolderName) = "" if your not using VB6), adding each file name to a listview or list box control.

If this is not enough, let me know and I'll hammer out the code.

If you are looking for files use 'File-OPen' dialog of common dialog set.

If you want directories only selection use ShBrowseForFolder API. Search on this site for this. You can surely find a a few examples and links
