Hi everyone,
I am using Visual Basic
I need some help... Duh

What I need is: when I use the folder browser dialog I want the selected folder's files to be displayed in a listbox.

Also, I need the filter to be .map

Thanks ahead of time

If you help me you will get credit when my program is released on halomods.

hahahahaha.....

Well you either don't know what you are talking about or you did not read it correctly.

If you are just learning(most Likely) don't post on my question


This is what I want:


when I use the folder browser dialog(it is already tied up to a button) I want the selected folder's files to be displayed in a listbox.

Its very simple

I don't need open file dialog becuase you can only open one file and not a floder.

I haven't coded VB for a while.

Code: Select all

Dim f As New FolderBrowserDialog
        If f.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            Dim s As String()
            s = Directory.GetFiles(f.SelectedPath)
            For i As Integer = 0 To s.Length - 1
                Dim s2 As String()
                s2 = s(i).Split("\")
                ListBox1.Items.Add(s2(s2.Length - 1))
            Next
        End If
That will add the filename + filetype. Example "hello.jpg".

Or...

For full path("C:\Documents and settings\ blahblah\hello.jpg") do this...

Code: Select all

 Dim f As New FolderBrowserDialog
        If f.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            Dim s As String()
            s = Directory.GetFiles(f.SelectedPath)
            For i As Integer = 0 To s.Length - 1
                ListBox1.Items.Add(s(i))
            Next
        End If
