    Hiding a particular folder from view in DirListBox

    I have a directory box and my dumpster folder... I don't want this folder to be seen by the user in this particular directory box.

    The path is app.path\dumpster

    can I hide that folder from being seen in the dirdirectory box?

    Can you use SetAttr to change its attributes to Hidden?

    would setattr hide it just in the visual basic view or outside of vb as well?

    Outside as well.

    Unless the user selects "SHow Hidden Files and Folders" - in which case they can see it.

    Just make a listbox hold the folders and link it to a real dirList with some good old code.

    Just a thought.
