Hi there folks! I am finishing up this DVD launcher app to give to teachers. The launcher gives them choices such as copying all files, copying specific, and just opening the DVD to view the files. I have only found threads on how to watch DVD movies with vb6, but I just want to open a window where the user can see all of the files on the DVD. Would anyone have any experience in that?
Thanks!
you can shell out to windows explorer, or open a commondialog, or make your own form with listview, treeview or other suitable controls
If you want a VB6 program to run properly from slow/read-only/removable media there are a few things you need to do.
First you need to use reg-free COM packaging to create isolated assemblies from the libraries to avoid the hazards of registering non-installed libraries. Second you need to "relink" all of the PE files to run from swapspace, see: /SWAPRUN (Load Linker Output to Swap File) for details.
Failure to do this can result in performance problems, crashes, and breaking other applications.
why cant you simply use the common dialogue parts like drive and dir and filelist and set the path property as you would with any other drive ?
here to ponder
You can. Put the DVD in the CD/DVD device and open it using CommonDialog. It's no different than any other drive with folders
so whats the problem?Quote:
