Easy!! How do I link File list Boxes to Drive Boxes?? 2

I know this is an easy one, I just can't find the answer anywhere. How do I link File list Boxes to the Drive Box the user just picked??

I usually put a drive box, directory box, and a fliebox.
Normally ineterlink them via there paths. In the change event between the directory box and the filebox put File1.Path=Dir1.Path.

Conceptually, what you're wanting to do is make the directory control sensitive to a change the user makes in the drive control. Here's how I do it...


Private Sub Drive1_Change()
'Hand off the selected drive to the directories control...
Dir1.Path = Drive1.Drive
Me.Refresh
lstFiles.Path = Dir1.Path
Me.Refresh
End Sub


Private Sub Dir1_Change()
'Force a change in the directories control to cascade down
'to the files list...
lstFiles.Path = Dir1.Path
Me.Refresh
End Sub


The Me.Refresh is very important here as otherwise the change in the control's data will occur, but the user interface would not update.
