How to dipplay the contents of a drive using VB 6.0

[Abhishek]

Hi there !
Can somebody help me understand how i can
display the contents of a drive ( for example E:\ drive).
I want to display all the contents of the CD-ROM by
clicking a button on a form. The action of clicking the
button should launch explorer to view all the contents of
the CD.

With thanks in advance...
Abhishek

Notice that this is a VB.NET language group (no relation to VB6). You will
more likely get an answer in the VB Classic newsgroups
(microsoft.publ ic.vb.*). Have a Google Search on 'ShellExecute'. This API
function can be used to open a folder in explorer.

Hi Abhishek, this is a VB.NET newsgroup. Please turn to a VB6.0 newsgroup,
such as microsoft.publi c.vb

Hi Abhishek,
Use Shell("Explorer .exe H:\") where H: is your cd drive letter.
Cheers,
Christian

In VB6, you shouldn't have brackets on Sub calls.

LOL -- I always wrote 'Call Shell(...)'.
