Try using FileListBox
if succesful add punch to ur program with
Drivelistbox
and also directorylistbox

[HexMaster]

i guess i should have been more specific...i got the basic form with the filelist box dir box and the drive list...but how do i make this form more multipurpose...right now all i can do with it is select files and pass that file to one certain sub...but how do i make it so it will pass the file to whatever it is that pulled the box up?

well i hope this illustrates my problem a little better...

First, make a standard form.

Then, goto the toolbar and select the "Directory List" object.

Just place it where you want it.

Then create a "File List" object. If you want it to only open certain files then change the "pattern" property to *.(application extension)*.

Finally, place a command box.

Name your directory list DirList and your file list FileList. Your command box is going to be called open_file.


Then just plug in this code:


Private Sub DirList_Change()

FileList.Path = DirList.Path

End Sub



Private Sub open_file_Click()

FilePath = DirList.Path + "/" + FileList

Shell "Notepad.exe " & FilePath, vbNormal

End Sub


(Sorry, I guess I misunderstood what you were trying to do.)
