Hi there, Has anyone out there had much time to do any programming in VB for DOS yet? If so perhaps you will be able to help. I'm trying to use the common dialog for "file open" that comes with VB for DOS. The problem is that the file list box and directory list box display the files / directories in a non-alphabetic order (presumably they are in the order they were stored on the disk). Ordinary List Boxes and Combo Boxes have a "sorted" property which if set to TRUE sort their contents into alphabetical order. As far as I can tell in the manuals the File and Directory Boxes dont have this property. My program would look much better if they were sorted so if anyone knows how to do this PLEASE let me know. Thanks in advance, Hazel Davey, (hlr@aber.ac.uk) Dept. Biological Sciences, Aberystwyth, Wales
