Changing the Hidden Attribute

007bond
I was wondering...How do you change the 'Hidden' attribute of a file/folder using VB6?

I think there's an "attrib" thing there somewhere.... look in the filesystem commands.... Be alot easier...

1. It would be nice if you could properly format what you write for ease of reading
2. You didn't exactly make it clear where to look. I don't have the MSDN library installed if that's what you mean

Properly format my response?

For a person who has 3 minutes to rush a reply on a laptop WITHOUT VB6, that is pretty "format"'ed to me!

You should also try experimenting in VB alot more - it won't bite your hand off your wrist i you click in the wrong place you know!

Try right-clicking, going down to "object definitions".... It's something like that. - type definitions... Anyway you go in and it lists loads of functions/procedures in the right-hand box, and lists of "types" (?) in the left hand box... In the "filesystem" (or quite similar) box on the left hand side, there's a list of functions which are to do with: you guessed it: the file system. Use them... It'll give you a little information on the various input's (boolean, integer, etc)...

BUT - the one greatest resource you are forgetting is:
*DING*DING*DING*DING*
GOOGLE
... Use the function name and search for it in google, then you get the info from there.

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of that fact was I. Thanks for the help, I found what you were trying to tell me ok. And just to let you know it's Object Browser, not Object Defenitions
