Howto get details in Filelistbox - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

martijn

Probably not the first time this one is asked in this group...

The standard filelistbox does what it says, it lists files.
But as all windows based dialogs offer file details etc. I think it can't be
impossible to get some extended filelistbox that does the job.
However, can't find it anywhere. Anyone know a proper method?

regards,

Martijn.

Happy coding.

That's all you're going to get in the file list box. If you want details you
have to go a little deeper ... check out the enumdesk demo (and a few other
ones) at www.mvps.org/btmtz/. There is also a free FolderTreeview control
available at http://ccrp.mvps.org/

Hi Randy,

Tried them. They work to some degree.
The methods seem needless overcomplicated though.

I was hoping for a simpler solution, a precooked dll that does the job or
so. It's also kinda weird that there is no built in functionallity in vb for
this.
