list files contained in a folder via list box?

[hereisjoy]

Let me start by saying I am not a programmer just a self leaner. I am test driving AutoPlayMedia Studio 7.0 in researching it as the software to use for building autorun cds for various projects. One of the things I must be able to do is show in a list the files contained in a folder, select one or multiple files (like a pdf) and have it open in the appropriate reader window. I can't figure out which action to use for showing the file names in a folder as a means to populate a list of some sort.

Any help, suggestions, example code etc would be wonderful.

thanks

heres a function i use all the time to add a folder of files to a listbox

place this function in the global area

-- FolderToListbox(string Object, string Folder, boolean Recurse, tabel Filters)
-- adds the files with the filters to a listbox
function FolderToListbox(strObject,strFolder,bRecurse,tbFilters)
	for index, strExt in tbFilters do
		tbFile = File.Find(strFolder, strExt, bRecurse, false, nil, nil);
		if tbFile then
			for index, strPath in tbFile do
				local sPath= String.SplitPath(strPath);
				ListBox.AddItem(strObject, sPath.Filename, strPath);
			end
		end
	end
end

when you want to fill your list call the function like:

FolderToListbox("ListBox1", "AutoPlay\\Docs", false, {"*.mp3","*.wma"})

hope that helps
