[VB] Browsing invisible folders - Cadis - Mar 20, 2009
Hello,
I'm making my own program in VB and kinda stopped on following step. I want to make a dialog (dirListBox), where user can browse for folder and then get the folder path.. however, I can't see invisible folders in that dialog.. is there any way how I can make them visible in dirListBox?
Add2 - When I want certain application to save into C:\Documents and Setting\Username\Data Application -
how should I write the path when ppl uses different language packs? Is there any default windows name for folders like Application Data, which has different names on different windows translations?
//already tried to google it, but no results ;<
Thanks for answers!! ;)
