Explore File

[Imagine Programming]

Hey folks, is there a way to explore the folder of the selected file and select that file?

i guess it is possible with Shell.Execute, but i am not sure,

thanks, CB

How about something like -

strSplit = String.SplitPath("File") and then
strFolder= strSplit.Folder
File.Find (strFolder)

p.s. Just read your post again "explore the folder of the selected file and select that file", if you already have the file name can't you just use that?

Ahh... Explorer command line switches are given here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/130510) so you could just build it and then open a Windows Explorer window using the command line that you have built.

the code :
result = File.Run(_WindowsFolder.."\\explorer.exe", "/select,\"calc.exe\"", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, false);


i use this for other goals but this is nice:) thanks!
