Like how do I make a function that has an explorer-like searcher to search for a file. Thanks |

recursively search a specified directory for files and directories... for each directory, search for files and directories... ------------------ |

I mean like those of YouTube where you can find videos to upload from your Hard Drive |

Then it depends on what language you're using. With C++ there are functions you can call from the windows dlls to open a File dialog box. |

I think he's asking about how to use the Common Dialog Box from within VB.Net. Here's a link to a good explanation of some of the different dialogs that are available to you from VB.Net, as well as sample code that shows you how to use them. Hope that helps! --clint |

quote: Yeah, I could see that (especially just looking at the topic), but he *did* say "explorer style search" in the body of his post, and if you substitute "navigation" for "search", it's really not too far of a stretch to see that what he said could make sense, especially if he had no idea what to call it. "File search" makes more sense than "common dialog box" if you don't know the name (and if he knew the name, he wouldn't have to post on a forum for it, he could just Google for it). |
