How do I access the contents of the individual file names populated in a ListBox by DirList - without user interaction?  I know I can use DirSelection to see the file name clicked on from within the choices of the ListBox, but I need to process each file within a folder systematically.  When I load the list, the properties of the ListBox shows zero items.

Here's some code I've used:

             // Populate the list of files that are in the selected folder
            //        File types to read = 0 (read/write files) + 1 (read files) + 32 (archive/modified files)
            lb_valid = lb_files.DirList (ls_path_ext, 39)
            IF (lb_valid) THEN
                
                ll_count = lb_files.Totalitems ()
                IF (ll_count > 0) THEN
        
                    // Get the list of filenames in the folder
                    FOR ll_index = 1 TO ll_count
                        ll_rc = lb_files.Selectitem (ll_index)
                        
                        lb_valid = lb_files.DirSelect(ls_file1)
                        IF (NOT (lb_valid)) THEN
                            ls_filelist [ll_index] = ls_file1
                        END IF
                    NEXT
                    
                    // Add the list of files into the appropriate structure
                    lstr_file.aur_filenamearray = ls_filelist
                    
                    // Save the path and files selected
                    il_multiple_aur_idx ++
                    istr_aurfiles.aur_pathnames [il_multiple_aur_idx] = is_pathname
                    istr_aurfiles.aur_filenames [il_multiple_aur_idx] = lstr_file                     
                        
                ELSE                    
                    MessageBox ("No Files Found", "There are no read/write files in the selected folder ~"" + &
                                                            is_pathname + "~".", Exclamation!)                    
                END IF        // END IF of are there any read/write files in the selected folder
                
            ELSE
                MessageBox ("File Read Error", "Unable to read the files from the selected folder ~"" + &
                                                        is_pathname + "~".", Exclamation!)
            END IF            // END IF of populate the listbox with DIRLIST
   

Have Fun,

Olan
