Listing directory content in Visual basic 6

I have a folder called c:\myFolder. Inside the folder has 3 files, which is a.gif, b.gif,c.gif, and a folder called subFolder.

Now given the path C:\myFolder, how do get all the file name or folder name inside? And how to distinguish a folder from a file?
(I only need first level of file name, ie no need to recurse the subfolder)

Use FSO, file system objects.
to differentiate file and folder use fso.file and fso.folder...

Code:

---

Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" ( _
    ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long

Private Const LB_DIR = &H18D

Private Const DDL_DIRECTORY = &H10
Private Const DDL_ARCHIVE = &H20
Private Const DDL_EXCLUSIVE = &H8000

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    List1.Clear: List2.Clear
   
    ' Directories
    SendMessage List1.hwnd, LB_DIR, DDL_EXCLUSIVE Or DDL_DIRECTORY, ByVal "C:\myfolder\*.*"
   
    ' Files
    SendMessage List2.hwnd, LB_DIR, DDL_EXCLUSIVE Or DDL_ARCHIVE, ByVal "C:\myfolder\*.*"
End Sub
