By default, the control doesn't display hidden and system files. This control also supports a couple of custom events, PathChange and PatternChange, that fire when the corresponding property is changed through code. In most cases, you don't have to worry about them, and I won't provide examples of their usage. Moreover, these controls are known to work incorrectly when listing files on network servers and sometimes even on local disk drives, especially when long file and directory names are used.
For this reason, I discourage you from using them and suggest instead that you use the Common Dialog controls for your FileOpen and FileSave dialog boxes. But if you need to ask the user for the name of a directory rather than a file, you're out of luck because—while Windows does include such a system dialog box, named BrowseForFolders dialog—Visual Basic still doesn't offer a way to display it unless you do some advanced API programming. Fortunately, Visual Basic 6 comes with a new control—the ImageCombo control—that lets you simulate the appearance of the DriveListBox control.
It also offers you a powerful library—the FileSystemObject library—that completely frees you from using these three controls, if only as hidden controls that you use just for quickly retrieving information on the file system. Path End Sub Finally, when the user clicks on a file in the FileListBox control, a Click event is fired as if it were a regular ListBox control , and you can query its Filename property to learn which file has been selected.

There could be some magical way to do it with windows API or something but I would imagine if at all possible it would need a fair amount of code. Smitty Legend. Joined May 15, Messages 29, Norie, might you be able to rig the ListBox change event to throw up a label for each item?
Smitty I think it might be possible but I'm not sure. Something like this perhaps. List ListBox1. Thanks for trying people. There are some VB examples out there but none of them translated well into Excel user forms. Set the Text property of the second label to provide the caption "Destination". The text on this label will change at runtime when the user selects an item on the list. In this example, we will fill up a list box with items, retrieve the total number of items in the list box, sort the list box, remove some items and clear the entire list box.
