Opening Files & Size Info in visual basic

[crrrazydan]

I'm not extremely experianced in visual basic, but I was wondering how to open a file using its default program from a file list box. For example, double clicking on an mp3 inside a file list box and having winamp come up and play it. Also, how to you tell the size of a file or folder in visual basic?

Hi Dan,

have a look in the search feature (you'll need to clck back to the VB forum first) for ShellExecute, that's the way to get the proper application to open a file.

Have a look at the VB function FileSize()
