[RESOLVED] DirList - select option

[the_jinj]

Hi

I have a wee app that has a DirList box, a command button and a ListView - basically I select a folder click the button and it's added to a list. This works ok but I'm trying to get a way to have the folder selected without having to open it in the Dirlist (ie it's selected if highlighted) - not sure if it's possible or not.

Cheers in advance

You can add anything you want to a listbox, it doesn't have to be loaded from a DirList. Just use something like this:

List1.Additem "C:\temp"

Sorry maybe I never explained clearly...I want to be able to know what folder the user has clicked on even if it's just highlighted in the DirList box - at the moment it has to be double clicked to open it before it registers what directory was selected.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  With Dir1
    Text1.Text = .List(.ListIndex)
  End With
End Sub

Extending trisuglow's example in the Click event (works):

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Dir1_Click()
    Me.Caption = Dir1.List(Dir1.ListIndex)
End Sub

[the_jinj]

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  With Dir1
    Text1.Text = .List(.ListIndex)
  End With
End Sub

That worked perfectly - thanks !
