Combo_Dir for long file names

[Keith Waters]

I'm using a combo box to list file names so I do something like,

CALL Combo_Dir (tb_hWndCombo, _
                %DDL_ARCHIVE  OR _
                %DDL_READONLY OR _
                %DDL_READWRITE, _
                File_Dir$ + "*.tgf")

Long file names appear in the drop list as the abbreviated MSDOS form. Is this the correct behaviour and how would I get long file names listed?

Keith,

Yes, if you want long filenames you will need to populate
the combobox manually.

According MSDN, short names in 9x, long names - in NT/2000.

Greg and Semen,

Thanks to you both for confirming that. I will have a go at populating the list box manually, presumable with PB's DIR$.

If you are not against using a DLL you could try PBSctrl in the 3th party section.
