Hiding File Extension in File List Box

[Paul H]

I cant find a way to hide the file extension in a file list box. Is it
possible?
The file type is hard coded, so the extension is just clutter.

Thanks for the answers to my previous question.

The file list box is just a list box...

You could leave it on the form and then
make it invisible.

Place a listbox or a combobox or whatever
your heart desires to replace it...

Populate the new control by walking the listitems
of the file list box and use split(flb.list(x),".")(0)
to populate just the name into the new control.

You could use the index chosen in the new control
to identify the proper selected item in the file list box
and then get the name and path property from that.
....

Hope thats enough to go by...

Thanks for the reply, I had already used that solution, I was just looking
for a simpler way.
