Browse pictures from files

[jpaulino]

Hi all,

I would like to browse some pictures according with files that I have. I have one directory for the pictures (e.g. 20070502) and one (with the same name plus “t” e.g. 20070502t) for the thumbnail. The problem is that I would like to show only 8 thumbnail per page and the number of pages in the bottom.

I have made something like this with the results of a access database but I can’t apply to this.

Any help?

Tanks in advance
Jorge

You could use the Scripting.FileSystemObject to achieve these results.

Specifically, the "Files" collection will be useful.

Sheco thank

It helps but how can I do something like ... page 1 2 3 next ... browsing 6 or 8 pictures per page ?

From the Files collection you get the number of files in the directory. Assuming you only have the images in that directory, you can determine the number of page links to display by:
x = Round Down(Number of Files/2) 'one thumbnail and one full size picture per and round down in case windows made the browse file
y = Round Up(x/8) '8 pictures per page rounded up to nearest whole page number

When it comes time to display the files you should know what page your on and be able to find the files based on that page number. The indexes for the file collection for a given page would be something like:
(Page Number - 1) * 2 * 8
to
(Page Number) * 2 * 8 - 2

Just guessing, but it should be possible to correct those equations and convert them to code for use with the Files collection Sheco pointed out.
