[perl-win32-gui-users] Filling Listbox with Dir and AddFile

[Brian S. <br...@ic...>]

Hi,

 

I'm a newbie trying to build my first GUI application. I've been looking
through the website, Googling the web, and I haven't found an answer to my
question. If this has been asked and answered previously, I apologize for
missing it.

 

Basically, I'm trying to implement a dual listbox interface quite similar to
what Eric Hansen wrote about in 1999. What I can't find anywhere is how to
fill the left listbox with the files in a given directory, although the
closest I found was a tutorial in VB out on the web. I'm trying to use the
methods Dir and AddFile, but something's not working. I can't figure out
what the Dir method is supposed to return, nor what parameters/arguments to
send. I try AddFile and my app crashes. I can make AddString work, though.

 

Some sample code or guidance to point me in the right direction would be
greatly appreciated.

 

I'm using Perl 5.8.8 and Win32::GUI 1.06.

 

Thanks,

Brian
