Details:

The FileListBox can be set up to display forms that provide a list of file names that have been grouped by certain file attributes. The control lists all the files in the directory specified by the control's current path. A user can select one of these files for further use. At startup, the path defaults to the current directory.

If you also display the directory list box and drive list box controls you can write code to accommodate them with the FileListBox and with each other.
