LIST OF FILES

[arnaud vanheu]

I would like to know how I can make a list of all folders (with all files) on a target drive using the
Win95/NT4 and 3.11 and 95 (with api 16 and 32 bits)
I tried some programmes but it didn't run correctly for 16 bits
tanks for all reponses!!!

if you want a 16-bit/32-bit solution I suggest that you stay away from API solutions and use the VB Dir command instead.
You can use it to find all directories in a folder and all files in that directory.
MSDN article Q189631 has a complete source code sample.

thanks a lot to reply me!
but i have some problems with this solution.
when i used Q185476 with 2 method, I have a error 424 with the vb programmation method and i can't understand why!

[Lothar Haensler]

I suggest that you post the offending code here in the forum so that we can look at it.

[arnaud vanheu]

the code is the code of microsoft on :

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q185/4/76.ASP

it is the second method without api which causes troubles (error 424!!!)!

[Lothar Haensler]

works perfectly on my machine.
Why don't you tell us the line where the error occurred?

[arnaud vanheu]

OK!
expl : i have a file nou.txt in C:\toto\

if I search *.txt, after some loop my var DIRNAME = nou.txt.txt and this is a error in a loop!
it is with Using Built-In Visual Basic Functions command 2 and i used VB6
