Solution 1

Use DirListBox

VB

Private Sub Dir1_Change()
  txtFolderPath.Text = Dir1.Path
End Sub

Refer..... DriveListBox, DirListBox, and FileListBox Controls in Visual Basic 6[^]

No sir, I didn't mean that. I mean , how can I get a folder or file path when I double click on it to open without using any visual basic control i.e - Dir,Drive,File,FileSystemObject etc. But I want to improve the application using command line argument. Can you help me sir ? I can not pass a file path in my application in Windows XP. It shows an error like that "C:\MyPicture.jpg is not a valid Win32 application". Please sir help me. Thank you in advance.

When I double click on a folder to open it that time (my program is already opened) all the file paths in the particular folder will be automatically added in my given listbox.

But I can't do this.

I can drag drop a file in it and I can open a file using my program when I click to open the file ,say - *.jpg will be opened using my program.

But I can't do the above task.

Please help ME.
