- Custom File Listbox controls for Visual Basic by Mark Gamber March 1992
-
- This file provides two types of listbox controls for file display. First is
- multiple selection file listbox and second is the multiple column, multiple
- selection file listbox. To use these controls, copy VBMFILE.VBX to your Visual
- Basic directory. Select the file from the listbox displayed by selecting "Add
- File..." in the "File" menu. You should see two new controls appear in the
- toolbox is everything went OK.
-
- Both controls act in exactly the same manner except MCFile, the multiple
- column control, has a variable called "CellWidth". First, however, let's focus
- on the similar variables and functions.
-
- Archive: Displays files marked for archiving.
- System: Displays system files.
- Pattern: Changes file mask used to obtain directory listing.
- Path: Changes current file directory.
- ReadOnly: TRUE displays Read Only files, FALSE omits them.
-
- As mentioned above, the multiple column listbox has a "CellWidth" variable
- which detemines the number of pixels per cell horizontally.
-
- Visual Basic programs may insert text into the listbox, remove items from
- the listbox, and retrieve items from the listbox using standard listbox
- methods. For example:
-
- ListCount: Returns the number of items in the listbox
- List(i%): Returns string (filename) in position i%
- ListIndex(i%): Returns selected state of item i% in listbox
-
- The demo, LBDEMO, provides a real example of both types of file listboxes.
