How can I make a File List Box recognize changes to the file system? I know that I can use the Refresh method to force the File List Box to update but how do I know when to refresh it? If my application changes the contents of the directory then I can simply do a refresh at that time, but what if another application changes the contents of the directory? Is there an API call that will cause the application to be notified? There must be some way to do it because the File Manager gets notified. I guess I could set a timer event to refresh periodically but I'd rather not waste cpu cycles. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
