MSDN is your friend! (Seriously, MSDN is your best bet for figuring out undocumented Win32::GUI methods.) AddFile($path) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb775165(VS.85).aspx Take note: "The list box to which lParam is added must have been filled by the DlgDirList function." This is presumably why you're crashing Unfortunately, however, Win32::GUI does not expose the DlgDirList function to Perl. (At least, a search of the source files does not find "DlgDirList".) Dir($path, $flags) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb775185(VS.85).aspx Some notes: 2) The order of parameters is swapped in Win32::GUI. 3) The constants don't seem to be available via Win32::GUI::Constants, so here they are: DDL_READWRITE = 0x00 DDL_READONLY = 0x01 DDL_HIDDEN = 0x02 DDL_SYSTEM = 0x04 DDL_DIRECTORY = 0x10 DDL_ARCHIVE = 0x20 DDL_DRIVES = 0x4000 DDL_EXCLUSIVE = 0x8000 (I hope these are correct - I found them on the web and haven't tested them.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
