How can I check if an object in a listview is a file or a folder?

Anyone know?

' assumes you are looking in a specific directory, say strDirectory = "C:\"

  If Dir$(strDirectory & ListView1.SelectedItem.Text, vbNormal Or vbHidden Or vbArchive Or vbSystem Or vbReadOnly) Then
    MsgBox "File"
  ElseIf Dir$(strDirectory & ListView1.SelectedItem.Text, vbDirectory) Then
    MsgBox "Folder"
  End If

should work...

Or this, which you can change to fit your needs.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    If GetAttr("C:\test") = vbDirectory Then
        MsgBox "Directory"
    ElseIf GetAttr("C:\test.txt") = vbNormal Then
        MsgBox "File"
    End If
End Sub

another one of those damn functions that I didn't know about!! Megatron told me about SetAttr() or Save Attr() I forget which is right, I gues it only stood to reason that a Get Attr() function existed...Thanks for the info, Lethal

No problem, the one Megatron was referring to was SetAttr() function.
