Directories and Listbox

[jacobevans]

I want to be able to have someone click a command button, then have a directory form show, that part is complete. Now i need help adding all the files in this directory to a list with the extensions ".mp3, .wav, and .mid". this is what i have so far.

Private Sub cmdAddDir_Click()
Dim di As New IO
.DirectoryInfo ("c:\")
Dim diar1 As IO
.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.mp3", "*.wav", "*.mid")
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo
For Each dra In diar1
    lstSongs.Items.Add (dra)
Next
End Sub

any hints or tips would be appreciated

It comes missing some references. I think you didn't reffer FSO.

can you post which version?

Debug and just point which piece of code throwing this error.

(I think, this error will come at build time)

Just check all reference are there

I'm not sure VBScript has any concept of "build time" - isn't it interpreted at runtime?

But I agree, we need to know which statement/reference is throwing the error.

Dim di As New IO
is where its erroring

im not sure what you mean by version but im running VB6 32 bit

I use VB6, and I'm not aware of any object type of IO. In fact I've just tested and got the same error. Either you've got the type (IO) wrong, or you need to add a reference to the library that contains it.

Also, we need to sort something out. Are you using VBScript or VB? They are quite similar, but not the same thing.

Well I've never heard of it.

I'd suggest you open a new discussion for this. A lot of people won't be bothering to read this one, either because the title doesn't interest them, or because the number of replies indicates it is already being dealt with.
