Author Creating a working file structure on a form
Allen Peplinski

2006-10-25, 7:34 am

I'm trying to create a tree like file structure (like Windows Explorer give you) in a form. The user can then expand the structure and find the folder he/she is looking for. Then, depending on which folder they have selected, I will give them certain op
tions.

I've tried using a tree structure type object but I can't get the code to work in order to display the current drives file structure and have it expandable, I can only display one level at most. Thanks for the help!!!

I guess it would help if you showed the code.

Also, have you looked at the GETDIR() and PUTDIR() functions in dBASE?

In addition to Ken's answer...

You may also want to look at :dUFLP:fileRecurser.cc.
