[RESOLVED] Add file name to list box but keep file path in RAM

[.paul.]

try this. you'll have to modify it if you're getting many files from different directories.

Public Class Form1
 
    Dim files() As String = IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:\windows")
 
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        For x As Integer = 0 To files.GetUpperBound(0)
            ListBox1.Items.Add(IO.Path.GetFileName(files(x)))
        Next
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
        MsgBox(files(ListBox1.SelectedIndex))
    End Sub
 
End Class
