Does anyone know How get the names of all files in specific directory using VB6.0 ?
 
bomayed, I notice that although you have asked 59 questions to date, you haven't marked a single answer as helpful.

If you haven't got the answers that you need then read faq222-2244 to find how to get better answers.

If you have been getting your answers then read faq222-2244 to see how to properly acknowledge those answers.

Thanks SonOfEmidec1100 , but when I use the DIR function:

list1.additem dir("c:\*.*")

I only get one file added . .

johnwm , I didn't know that I had to mark the answers. But now I know , so thanks.

 
A lot of people ask that question the first time the use Dir, you need to loop round to return each file in turn

Dim fname As String

fname = Dir("c:\*.*")
List1.Clear
Do Until fname = ""
List1.AddItem fname
fname = Dir
Loop
 
You're welcome!

You don't have to mark the answers, but it's always polite to say Thank you in some way, and the link

<Thank SonOfEmidec1100 for this valuable post!>

is designed to provide a shortcut for you, and act as a marker for other users to recognise a useful or valued response.
