i have almost completed a program i have made ... system file search and history/temp/cookie analyser... but have one little problem thats giving me a headache

in my Listview box ... i want to click on a selected file located in the search and add it to a textbox

see image: and selected asctrls.ocx... i want to add the file and path to the bottom txt box .... as you can see i have filled it in with the path

i have tried various methods... listview.selectitem.text = text1.text , lstview.ColumnHeader.subitem = text1.text ...and so on

at the moment i have to double click and copy/ paste the file asctrls.ocx to the C:\windows\system32\... if you follow me... i want to click and it adds the file and path to the textbox.... see screenshots: of tool so far....

Hello Comsec,

here's the code you need:


Greets, passi

thanks passi i will take a closer look at that code and try a few things out

for the moment i have got it to work via a button click using this code i added to the examine button

this will load the selected file direct into the Text Viewer window... thats working fine
but ony works in the current directory... i still need to grab the path of the full file path from the ListView window... so am working on the ColumnHeader selection subitem to get the full path added....



get back to you.... cheers

Hi Comsec,

I don't really understand your problem. Did you try my code? If you paste it in your program, normall it should return the full file path into Text1, when you click an entry of the listview.
Then you can simply give that string to your RichTextBox to open it:
RTB1.LoadFile(Text1)

Greets, passi

tried it on the program and it would not have it.... and i now know why

i used Common controls 5.0 my mistake instead of 6.0 .... i would have to re-write part of the tool to work with the statusbar output also...

so i was trying to code 6.0 inputs using 5.0 ocx code.... so no wonder i nothing was happening....lol ...i will sort it

thanks bud
