Hi All,
I am using the Dir statement to get info on directory contents. (Thanks to Allen Browne's free information for how to do that.)
I realized that when the directory contents change while I have it open via Windows Explorer (say someone else adds a file), Windows Explorer receives notification of that somehow and repaints itself to show the updated values.
Is it possible (and then how) to get notified by the system that the directory has changed so I can requery it? Or how is Windows Explorer doing this in a way that I can emulate it?
TIA for any and all help.
