This example shows you how to integrate the three file system controls: FileListBox, DirListBox and DriveListBox to create a browse for file dialog box

Simply add a FileListBox, called lstFiles, a DirListBox called lstFolders and a DriveListBox called lstDrives. Finally, add the code below to the form.

'
Dim mfMustExist As Integer
Dim mfCancelExit As Integer
Dim LastDrive As String

Private Sub lstFolders_Change()
    Static intBusy As Integer

    On Error Resume Next

    If intBusy = False Then
        intBusy = True
        ' Change the current directory
        ChDir lstFolders.Path
       
        If Err = 0 Then
            ' If an error does not occur, then
            ' update file and directory list
            lstFiles.Path = lstFolders.Path
            lstDrives.Drive = Left$(lstFolders.Path, 2)
        Else
            ' If an error occurs - cancel it
            Err = 0
        End If

        intBusy = False
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub lstDrives_Change()
    Dim Ans As String
    On Error Resume Next
Start:
    lstFiles.Path = lstFolders.Path
    lstFolders.Path = lstDrives.Drive
    ' If and error occurs
    Select Case Err
        Case 68
            ' Err = not accessable
            Ans = MsgBox(lstDrives.Drive & " is not accessible", vbRetryCancel + vbCritical)
            If Ans = vbRetry Then
                Err = 0
                GoTo Start
            Else
                ' Error reading drive, switch
                ' to last one
                lstDrives.Drive = LastDrive
            End If
        Case 0
            Exit Sub
        Case Else
            ' Unexpected error
            MsgBox "Unexpected Error " & Err & " : " & Error
            lstDrives.Drive = LastDrive
    End Select
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    ' set file list path
    lstFiles.Path = lstFolders.Path
    ' set last drive
    LastDrive = lstDrives.Drive
End Sub
