Thread: Getting Windows' directory listbox?

  1. #1

    Question

    Have you seen that Windows directory listview (like when you delete a program associated with MIDIs or something, and it asks you which directory it is in)? I would really like to know if it is possible to get it in VB without an OCX.

    Thanks.

    Are you talking about being able to browse for a directory? If so.. look at this article

    Here's an idea on how I can show you what I mean.

    Rename Winamp.exe (or any program which has associated files) to winamp.bak, or anything you like. Now open an MP3 and when it says "Windows cannot find WINAMP.EXE" click Locate...

    The control in that window is the one I'm after. It's like a listview (maybe it is), but it doesn't quite look like one.

    Have a look at the URL that guy posted. I think that the DirectoryBrowse dialog is only availible in Win98 and Win95, but not NT, so if you have NT then it might not be there.

    Anyway, there is one more thing I need to know. That is, is it possible to play MP3s using mciSendString?

    Thanks.
