Custom File Listbox controls for Visual Basic by Mark Gamber  March 1992

   This file provides two types of listbox controls for file display. First is
multiple selection file listbox and second is the multiple column, multiple
selection file listbox. To use these controls, copy VBMFILE.VBX to your Visual
Basic directory. Select the file from the listbox displayed by selecting "Add
File..." in the "File" menu. You should see two new controls appear in the
toolbox is everything went OK.

   Both controls act in exactly the same manner except MCFile, the multiple
column control, has a variable called "CellWidth". First, however, let's focus
on the similar variables and functions.

   Archive:  Displays files marked for archiving.
   System:   Displays system files.
   Pattern:  Changes file mask used to obtain directory listing.
   Path:     Changes current file directory.
   ReadOnly: TRUE displays Read Only files, FALSE omits them.

   As mentioned above, the multiple column listbox has a "CellWidth" variable
which detemines the number of pixels per cell horizontally.

   Visual Basic programs may insert text into the listbox, remove items from
the listbox, and retrieve items from the listbox using standard listbox
methods. For example:

   ListCount:     Returns the number of items in the listbox
   List(i%):      Returns string (filename) in position i%
   ListIndex(i%): Returns selected state of item i% in listbox

The demo, LBDEMO, provides a real example of both types of file listboxes.
