Re: I am using the DIRLISTBOX in VB 6..Need it to show hidden directories. I can't find a way for it to do it....ATTN: Atul...

Thanks for the help, however, the megapack is NOT FREE. It therefore
will do me no good. The on;ly controls that will help me are Freeware
tools, not Shareware or Trial controls.

Thanks for trying.

See the other replies for the one that has a free tool that works very
well. Mabey you could use it instead of the $300. megapack and save
yourself some money.

Thanks again,

Ralph Malph
