FileListBox FileType changing

[Batuhan]

I want to change the Filetype of my FileListBox in runtime,
not from object inspector, can anyone give me a simple example code or some clue for this. So i can change the file attributes that will be shown in FileListBox

thanks anyway...

Try using the help and look for the topic: FileListBox->Mask, that should do the trick if i'm not mistaking.

No my problem is not with masking the files that will be shown, i m trying to show files which have same file attributes, as an example, ftReadOnnly, ftHidden etc.
the problem is i just cant do it in runtime...

Well, have You tried to alter the FileListBox->FileType and refresh the box by calling the FileListBox->Update()?
To me it looks as simple as that... Totte

I don't have a clue.....but sometimes it actually works out right!!!

No the problem is i just cant change
FileListBox->FileType = ...
i dun know how to assign new attributes that will be shown by file list box

as an example i want my filelistbox show only hidden files
its wrong but i m trying to do
FileListBox1->FileType = ftHidden;
but ofcouse this is not the way
i tried to find some documantation but i was not able
if i can see an example it ll be very usefull

and look at their public articles. The have one article on finding files (

and a 4 part article that goes into greater depth. They may provide you with some help. James P. Cottingham
