Browse For Folder Dialog

Welcome to the forums.

SHBrowseForFolder is definitely one solution to get a user-navigated folder.

Another option (from your img) is to use the common dialog, have user select any file and then strip the path name from the common dialog's FileName property.

If either of the above are used, you will have to use Dir$() function, in a loop, to return all the files in the selected folder.

Yet antoher option is to place a DriveCombo control, DirList control & FileList control on your form. Using the three together is a long-about way of doing one of the other two, but you don't need much code. A beginner's solution.

And there are other solutions too, of varying difficulty

Open the project references, then select microsoft Scripting Runtime.

This is the code to get only the filename:

Dim FSO as New Scripting.FileSystemObject
DIm x as file
Dim FilePath as string
FilePath = 'The path of the image
x = FSO.GetFile(FilePath) 
msgbox x.FileName

Open the project references, then select microsoft Scripting Runtime.

Okay, I'm bumping this because OP PM'd me and it took a couple of reads but the OP's last problem is...

How to display thumbnails of images in listview control.

Add an image list to your form.
Select your listview control
Select Custom in the properties box
GoTo second tab "Image Lists"
In the combo box to the right of "Normal" select the image list you just added.
Hit OK

Now start a new project>Add a listview (name it LV), Add an imagelist (Name it IL), Add commandbutton, and Size LV so you can see images, then add code below.

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
IL.ImageHeight = 100
IL.ImageWidth = 100
IL.ListImages.Add 1, "1.jpg", LoadPicture("c:\z\pb\1.jpg", vbLPCustom, vbLPColor, 100, 100)
IL.ListImages.Add 2, "2.jpg", LoadPicture("c:\z\pb\2.jpg", vbLPCustom, vbLPColor, 100, 100)
IL.ListImages.Add 3, "3.jpg", LoadPicture("c:\z\pb\3.jpg", vbLPCustom, vbLPColor, 100, 100)
IL.ListImages.Add 4, "4.jpg", LoadPicture("c:\z\pb\4.jpg", vbLPCustom, vbLPColor, 100, 100)
LV.ListItems.Add 1, "1.jpg", "1.jpg", 1
LV.ListItems.Add 2, "2.jpg", "2.jpg", 2
LV.ListItems.Add 3, "3.jpg", "3.jpg", 3
LV.ListItems.Add 4, "4.jpg", "4.jpg", 4
End Sub

Now what you will need to do is to replace my "1.jpg" (1-4) with your image file names and in the loadpicture function you need to replace my file paths to your file paths.
Then run, click on commandbutton

Good Luck

OK.
Start a new project
Click project on the menu, and at the bottom of the list you will see 'project1 references.'

Then in the dialog that appears, scroll down until you see 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime.' Check it, then click on OK.

Then now add the code i specified:
