Wouldn't is be simpler to just include what you do want?
no.. I need ALL but *.log
so.. my thinking is that would be a LOOONG filter string
Well, File1.Pattern throws up all over the place if you try a put anything on it except an equal sign.
I don't know what the common dialog would do. I'll test it out and see what happens.
.. needs to be a listbox..
I'll just use a reg one an add to it as I loop through the files.. (I guess)

You can also filter using a filelistbox. eg:
VB Code:
So, is this fixed or are you still having a problem?Quote:

For VB6 we had to switch to a ListView in place of FileList to get a solution ... here's the code:
Code:' get the list of excluded files
Private Sub GetExcludedFiles(ByVal fileSelFile As ListView)
Dim i As Long, names() As String
names() = GetFiles("*.*")
For i = 1 To UBound(names)
tmp2 = LCase$(GetExtension(names(i)))
If Not ((tmp2 = "exe") Or (tmp2 = "exp") Or (tmp2 = "obj") _
Or (tmp2 = "for") Or (tmp2 = "lst") Or (tmp2 = "xmp") Or (tmp2 = "sld") _
Or (tmp2 = "fc") Or (tmp2 = "fc0") Or (tmp2 = "graf") Or (tmp2 = "demo") _
Or (tmp2 = "inc") Or (tmp2 = "bat") Or (tmp2 = "ktl") Or (tmp2 = "eer") _
Or (tmp2 = "doc") Or (tmp2 = "rtf") Or (tmp2 = "jpg") Or (tmp2 = "gif") _
) Then
With fileSelFile.ListItems.Add(, , names(i)).ListSubItems
End With
End If
Next
