vb intrinsic controls

[Premalm]

Hi Guys,

I have a problem. VB has some intrinsic controls like Drivelistbox, Filelistbox etc. when I start VB it shows me all these built-in controls but when I start VB editor from ArcMap (GIS software) it doesn't show me all the controls. The controls missing are Dirlistbox, Drivelistbox and Filelistbox. I am trying to figure out why this is happening ? any ideas ?

Thanks
Premal

Because when you start eh vb editor from arcmap you are running VBA probably. VBA does not have the drivelistbox,dirlistbox, or filelistbox.

A command that the VBA editor does have is the
application.getopenfilename and .getsaveasfilename which you would be able to use.

'example
dim filename as string

filename = application.getopenfilename

filename will contain the address of the file the user selected. I know this might not be what you wanted to do, but there is none of those objects available in vba.
