DirectoryListBox - FileListBox 1

[stylonurus]

Hopefully this is a simple one but for me I've already spent a few hours on it. Any hints are welcome. I'm using Borland C++ 6 Builder.

On a form I have a DirectoryListBox1 and a FileListBox1. In the FileListProperty of the DirectoryListBox I have placed the FileListBox1 name.

When I create a file in the FileListBox1, I cannot see it until I doubleclick on a different subdirectory in the DirectoryListBox1 and then return to the directory where the file was created. I tried refresh() repaint() etc.

There must be an easy way for the newly created filename to appear in the FileListBox1 with having the user exit and reenter it.

Thanks,
Rick

I was finally able to get this working by parsing the filename into a string as shown here

AnsiString  theReportFileName;
.
parse the filename into theReportFileName
.
FileListBox1->AddItem[theReportFileName, NULL);

but there must be a better way.

Try this:

FileListBox1->Update(); // Forces update of list box
Repaint(); // repaints the screen
