Drive list box in vb

One of the features of vb6 that I miss (so far) in dot.net is the drive listbox control. Is there one available somewhere (I can't find it in Google) or is it within the capability of a very raw beginner like me to create one?

The following is with VS2010.

With the Toolbox showing select choose items, under .NET Framework components, select DirListBox or DriveListBox and I see there is FileListBox.

Yes, but this is above my head. Too much detail. I want to know how to construct one, preferably from someone who has done it

I don't understand what is "above my head". The information provided gives you the old VB6 control.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.dll)

Not sure why you think it's over your head and too much detail.... as that IS the VB6 component... jsut wrapped up for .NET. You can tell because it's in the Compatibility.VB6 namespace....Add the reference, drop it on your form and have at it...

With things like Open & Save file dialogs as well as the folder browser dialog, why would you want a the old DriveListBox control?

well I've referenced Microsoft Visual Basic Compatibility and imported it, but I don't see the DriveListBox control in my toolbox!

As mentioned before you need to add it to your IDE toolBox as shown below, Choose Items...

OK, but where is that drop down menu accessed from?

Right click inside the toolbox

Thnaks you Kevin. I've done that (checked the box and OK) but DriveListBox is not among the controls now displayed!

Did you Check the DriveListBox, worked for me when I tried it.

Yes, I did! I must be doing something else wrong. After doing this, the DriveListBox should appear in the toolbox in its alphabetical place in the list of controls, yes?

Try and right click, add new tab. Now right click in the new tab and do the "Choose item". In the example below I created a tab called Kevin then added the VB6 controls into this tab.

Got it OK now Kevin! Thanks for your help. I'll mark this resolved.
