treeview of files with filtering

[lironh]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a form that is reading filenames from a certain folder on my computer.
The filenames have some prefixes - 'tu' , 'tc' , 'bf' , 'tf' and 'act'.
each filename that is read is being displayed (without it's prefix) in a list and has another attribute (type) that the prefix is inserted into it.

Does someone know how to start this kind of application ?

Searching the forum is a great way to discover and learn the answers to your Access programming questions.

This might help... Browse [Find a directory or file]

Hi, I took a look at the Browse program. It is useful, but I have a slightly different problem. What I really need to do is first of all filter on the treeview itself and also if an item is selected I can access it, but how can I determine if an item has been selected from the treeview without triggering an error?

In otherwords, Treeview.Object.SelectedItem returns the file or directory if one is selected but gives an error if nothing is selected. Also, how do I know if a node is a file or a subdirectory? Is there way of filling Treeview with only directories and not files as well?

Many thanks,

Phil

is your treeview a list? maybe try something like this
have a textbox underneath list to hold the ID of the item selected then

on click() 'of listbox
Me.txtbox = Me.lstbox.Column(whatever)
Me.txtbox.Requery
