List of files in a directory

Why Trust Us

Question:
I need a way of letting the user pick a file name or names from a list. I would prefer this not to be in a dialog box. In VB I can use a file list box or the DIR command; neither of these are available in OPO. Can you help me?

Answer:
By your reference to Visual Basic, I assume you are using Power Objects ona Windows platform. If this is correct, you can use the new CSList OCX,which is part of OPO Version 2.0. This OCX gives you thecomplete list box functionality you are looking for.
