Help With File List , Dir List And Drive List Boxes..

Drive List And Directory List Boxes
I have one drive list box and one directory list box in my program.
When I run my program I can see all Local and Mapped network drives.
But I need to add the Network Neighborhood in the Drive list box.
I need to be able to see all servers and drives on the network. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks!

Opening A Word Document Using Drive/Directory/File List Boxes
This probably has a really obvious/easy answer, but I'm going to ask it anyway, as I have no idea how to make it work!

I have a form with a drive list box, a directory list box and a file list box and a file open button. What I am trying to do is to use those boxes to enable the user to look for their file and open that file using Microsoft Word.

However, I have looked all over the Help file, tutorials and such, and all I can find is how to use OLE to have the files displayed still in the Visual Basic interface I'm trying to avoid doing this, as I just want it to open the file in Word, if that is even possible.

So if someone could pleeeeeeeease please tell me coding to do that I would be very grateful

Also, the drive, directory and file list boxes on my form don't seem to like working together so changing them while the form is running doesn't impact any others. Argh

Anyone that could help me I would love forever

Thankyou.

Using Drop- Down Drive List Boxes
I need to be able to know how to check if a drive is ready when selected in a Drive list box and send an error message so that it doesn't come up with a runtime error like it has for me. I accidentally selected the CD drive (which happened to have no CD in it at the time) and it came up with a runtime error. I need to know how to check if a drive is ready and either take it out of the drive list box in the Form_Load event or have it bring up an error message when it is selected. Anyone who has even has the faintest idea about these things, HELP! I don't care if you get it wrong, I just need people to answer and give me ideas of what to ask and look for. Thanks is advance for your help.

now see the shaddy thing with this is...well, it's a calendar month see, and every day is a list box....first item, the date, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on...each list box can hold that first item, the date, plus 3 names.

if someone double clicks on one of those names (which are populated through other methods...not important) i want that name to be deleted...now where i am out of ideas is: how do i delete one item from one list when my list (List1) is an array of about 41 list boxes all named List1 (x) see....

also if I wanted that name which was double click to delete itself through the entire month, then ....well...the rest is my own trouble...but so far i can't seem to be able to delete.

grrr.

thanks in advance,

Getting A Combo Box List And Putting It In A List Box List On Another Form
I am finally writing my first MDI! I'm doing a lot better than I thought I would so far, but now I'm stuck. I need to have a list from a combo box copied into a list box on another form. I want it in the Form_Load() event. Right now I have:

Code:Private Sub Form_Load()
frmpresetedit.deletepreset.List = frmtimer1.cmbpresets.List
frmpresetedit.Show
End Sub

deletepreset is the list box, cmbpresets is my combo box.
It always comes up with a compile error at the .list part of cmbpresets.list and says that 'the argument is not optional'. What is my problem here? I'm sure this problem is simple and I'm probably just making a stupid mistake. What code do I need to use?
Thanks

2 List Boxes, 1 INI File
I have 2 list boxes on my form, when the program runs it opens a INI file and shows its contents (text) if the 1st ListBox.
1.abc
2.abc
3.abc
4.abc
.Etc

The 2nd list box shows the contents of a program folder.
1.cba
2.cba
3.cba
etc.

What I am trying to do is set it up so when I click on an item from the 2nd listbox (like 1.cba) it is put at the bottom of the list of Listbox 1.


Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim iniFile As String, ItsThere As Boolean
INI1.FileName = App.Path & "xtt.ini"

iniFile = App.Path & "xtt.ini"
ItsThere = FileExists(iniFile)
Dim lPos As Long
Dim lCount As Long

lPos = 1

Do
lPos = InStr(lPos, INI1, ".xtt", vbBinaryCompare)
If lPos Then
lCount = lCount + 1
lPos = lPos + Len(".xtt")
Else
Exit Do
End If
Loop Until lPos < 1
txtNumber.Text = lCount
End Sub


Private Function FileExists(FullFileName As String) As Boolean
On Error GoTo MakeF
Open FullFileName For Input As #1
Close #1
FileExists = True
Exit Function
MakeF:
FileExists = False
End Function

Private Sub ReadFile()

Dim intFileNum As Integer
Dim strLineIn As String
INI3.Clear
If Dir$(Common1.FileName) <> "" Then
intFileNum = FreeFile
Open Common1.FileName For Input As #intFileNum
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #intFileNum, strLineIn
INI3.AddItem strLineIn
Wend
Close #intFileNum
End If

End Sub
Also, how do I get rid of these
[]
=250

I need to get rid of the [] and the =


Code:
Dim iniFile As String
iniFile = App.Path & "xtt.ini"
WriteINI "", "", INI1.Text, iniFile
Thanks.

File List Boxes
Which ActiveX control lets me have those list boxes with selection buttons at the top? I'm talking about those list boxes that let the use sort by Name, Size, Date, etc. by clicking on buttons at the top of the box. Gozilla, FTP applications, Netscape Messenger, etc. all have this type of box. Also, how could I get a graphical file list box similar to Windows Explorer? Thanks in advance.

OLEDragDrop W/ Directory And File List Boxes?
I'm trying to drag and drop files from a file list box to a directory list
box (the two controls are not related). Does anyone have an examples of
this? I've got the properties setup correctly on the two controls and I'm
starting the OLEDrag method of the file list box using the mouse down event.
This calls the OLEStartDrag where I am attempting to get the Data control
object setup. I think this is where my problem may be. The OLEDragDrop of
the directory list box doesn't recognize a drag from the file list box (no
visual cues even though the OLEDragOver of the directory list box is setup).
I guess I don't understand how to add files to the Data object from the file
list box. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks

Dir List Box And File List Box Help Needed
Dim results As String, dummy As String
Dim Endpart As String
Dim datapath As String
datapath = "C:data171916data"
' open the text file
Open App.Path & "
esultscash.txt" For Output As #1

' start searching the folder for any csv files
results = Dir(datapath & "*.csv")


this code reads all the .csv files from the C:data171916data

what i wan to do is to add a Dir list box so that i can select the data path variable and then want to display all the csv files in a file list so that i will be able to select which files i want to read and then process

in short the datapath's value should be the value of Dir list box and instead of where im using *.csv it should be the files which i choose from the file list box

Create A Property Window Dropdown List AKA Listbox List/ItemData
I'm trying to create an enhanced listbox control (in VB6) and one of my main criteria is to make it funtion very similarly to the standard listbox control.
Creating dropdown lists of constants (i.e. the Style property) is easy enough. but I haven't been able to re-create the ability to add (array) items in the property window such as is possible with the standard Listbox List and ItemData properties.
Anyone know how (or if) this can be done in VB6?

What Is The Limits On COmbo Box, List Box And LIst View And How Do You Handle Situations W
OK<
I have looked at all 5 of my vb Barnes and noble books
under listbox
and did not find where it said what the limit was.

I learned how to read a data base (unbound even) into a list box, or combo box.

But now I have over 32,768 items,
my data base list has between 100,000 - 125,000 Parts I want to load.

I can think of a lot of cases where the data base you want to load into a list or combo box is well of 32768


So my questions are
( I did also search VBCITY)

1) What is the limits on
listbox
combo box
list view

and

where is it documented.

and 2

How do I handle the case of more than 32768 with a listview??

I did found a little bit about it on vbcity

Thanks

Changing To A List View Instead Of A List Box To Overcome 32768 Limits
I had the program done
I was loading a listbox and typing is a text box watching the closest match be selected.
I start off by filling the list box from a mdb with a table called partlist,
and a field called part numbers

It worked fine.
But now because I am over 32768 ( I will never go over 125,000) records, I am past the usefullness of a list box I guess.

so How do I change this code that works with a listbox, to code that works with a viewbox

and is this my best solution

Here is the listbox working code

Public Function FillListboxparts(Optional PartNumber As String)
   Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
   Dim li As ListItem
   Dim lih As ListItem
   Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
   Dim rsPartList As ADODB.Recordset
   Dim strSQL As String

   strSQL = "SELECT PartNumber From partlist"
   
 
   Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
   
   cnn.Open ConnString
   Set rsPartList = New ADODB.Recordset
   rsPartList.Open strSQL, cnn

While Not rsPartList.EOF
    listboxparts.AddItem rsPartList("Partnumber")
    rsPartList.MoveNext
Wend
Text1.Text = listboxparts.ListCount
 rsPartList.Close
 Set rsPartList = Nothing
 cnn.Close
 Set cnn = Nothing
    
 Set li = Nothing
 Set lih = Nothing
  Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
  End Function

Hey guys, I have a textbox called text24 and what I use it for is as a scan source, like if I wanted to search the C: for something then I type C: in the text box.

Or maybe when some location is picked in the drive list box it relays the location to a text24?

Thanks!
