ListBox Limit?

[telco]

Hello everyone, i have notice about listbox object.. I have tried to browse huge files around 3000+ in at once but only 546 appeared or loaded in the listbox.. i need to browse again the files and locate which is the last loaded in the listbox..

anyone experience? any posible way to load all files at once?

Thanks

Hey Telco,
There is no problems with Listbox Object


If you use Status Dialogue to show user what's happening.
As you can see from my pics every thing works
Either post a sample project /or your code so someone can check what you have done incorrectly

Hello colc, sorry i can see the image it seems it is broken.. or maybe becuase of our internet is very slow for a weeks already..
i will share my code script.tomorrow to see what is the issue becuase it cannot load all files at once...

[telco]

strExtensions = "Media|*mp3;*wav;*flac;*w ma;*m4a;|"
tMediaFiles = Dialog.FileBrowse(true, "Browse Media Files", path3, strExtensions, "", "", true, true);
if tMediaFiles[1] ~= "CANCEL" then

for nIndex, sFilePath in pairs(tMediaFiles) do

sData = sFilePath;
sText = String.SplitPath(sFilePath).Filename;
sExt = String.SplitPath(sFilePath).Extension;
tText = sText..sExt;
result = ListBox.AddItem("ListBox1", sText, sFilePath);
Label.SetText("Label13", ListBox.GetCount("ListBox1"))
end

end

hello colc that is the code inside my browse button.. as i mention if i select huge files only 546 will go in listbox.. so i need to browse again and again until all files are in..

Hey telco ,
You have some problems again using variables in strExtensions.
When you have multiple files to search for - it should be in a table and then each file type is searched and added to listbox eg if you have four file types then AMS does 4 file.finds
So that is probably why it stops at 546
I have done an example for you - Check code on Button and also Global, Double click in LB opens file
I tested on my "C" drive and it found about six thousand files, all ended in ListBox

hi colc i think there is a bug with listbox using file browse if the file is too many it will not add all to listbox even this one you share...

Thanks

Hi telco,
It looks like a problem with the file browse dialog API of windows not the ListBox Object. Been testing using different codes

I can put 10,000 plus random text into listbox no probs, also with folder browse loop no probs but when you select files from "filebrowser dialog"
it only selects 790 max.

If you really want a file browse so you can select files, then I could make a special dialog box for you otherwise
just use Folder Browse
Cheers
