Re: Power Objects and local directory listings

What you are probably going to have to do is to call the Windows API calls for
the directory searching routines. Search the WIN32 or WIN16 API calls for:

WIN32:
FindFirstFile, FindClose, FindNextFile, GetFileAttributes, SetFileAttributes, WIN32_FIND_DATA

Or something similiar on WIN16, I don't have the API reference with me.

Here is some information from the Power Object 2.1 Help File:

Syntax for DLL Function and Subroutine Declarations For Windows 3.1 (16-bit):
The syntax for declaring a subroutine defined in a 16-bit DLL: DECLARE SUB sub_name LIB "DLL_name" (arguments) The syntax for declaring a function defined in a 16-bit DLL is similar: DECLARE FUNCTION func_name LIB "DLL_name" (arguments) AS return_value

For Windows 95,NT (32-bit) you need to add an ALIAS, as follows: The syntax for declaring a subroutine defined in a 32-bit DLL: DECLARE SUB sub_name LIB "DLL_name" ALIAS "sub_name" (arguments) The syntax for declaring a function defined in a 32-bit DLL is similar: DECLARE FUNCTION func_name LIB "DLL_name" ALIAS "func_name" (arguments) AS return_value

Hope this helps,
