Listbox search at any position

[yinkajewole]

I have a listbox that displays the list of files in a folder. i have a textbox that i want to use to search files, for instance, if i should type "ice" it should displays files like "rice, price, apprentice, iceland"

That code doesn't appear to populate the listbox.

this is the rest of the code

Dim FSO As Object
Dim StartFldr As Object
Dim StartPth As String

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
   Me.Filelist.Clear
   Call RecursiveFolder(FSO, StartFldr, Me.CheckBox1.Value)
End Sub

Sub RecursiveFolder(FSO As Object, Fldr As Object, IncludeSubFolders As Boolean)
   Dim FldrFile As Object, SubFldr As Object
   
   For Each FldrFile In Fldr.Files
      If FSO.GetExtensionName(FldrFile) Like "xls" Then
         With Me.Filelist
            .AddItem FldrFile
            .List(.ListCount - 1, 1) = FldrFile.Name
         End With
      End If
   Next FldrFile
   
   If IncludeSubFolders Then
      For Each SubFldr In Fldr.subfolders
         Call RecursiveFolder(FSO, SubFldr, True)
      Next SubFldr
   End If
End Sub

Private Sub folder_TextBox_change()
  

   StartPth = folder_TextBox.Text
   Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set StartFldr = FSO.getFolder(StartPth)
   Me.Filelist.Clear
   Call RecursiveFolder(FSO, StartFldr, False)
   Me.Filelist.ColumnWidths = "0;200"

  

End Sub

It did not work at all

And what's your problem?


The code works. I attach my test file to analyze the operation

Really, it works but the files were invisible. Actually, my listbox that contains the files is ColumnCount -1. Perhaps that's the cause...

any modified code to suit that?

I do not understand, if the code works, then what do you want to adapt?

How about

Private Sub searchbox_Change()
   Dim Lst As Variant, NLst As Variant
   Dim i As Long, r As Long
   Dim Srch As String
   
   Lst = Me.FileList.List
   Srch = Me.searchbox.Value
   ReDim NLst(1 To UBound(Lst), 1 To 2)
   For i = 1 To UBound(Lst)
      If InStr(1, Lst(i, 1), Srch, 1) > 0 Then
         r = r + 1: NLst(r, 1) = Lst(i, 0): NLst(r, 2) = Lst(i, 1)
      End If
   Next i
   Me.FileList.List = NLst
End Sub

Hello Dante,

I've applied this code to the textbox

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
wPath = "C:\trabajo\files"
arch = Dir(wPath & "*.*")
Do While arch <> ""
ListBox1.AddItem arch
arch = Dir()
Loop
End Sub

 

[DanteAmor]

missing backslash

    wPath = "C:\trabajo\files\"

change the red text for your folder or what is the problem?

 

[Doflamingo]

My mistake Dante , it works perfectly, I had forgotten the backlash at the end of the variable

@Doflamingo I'm glad to help you. Thanks for the feedback.

   Srch = Me.searchbox.Value
   ReDim NLst(1 To UBound(Lst), 1 To 2)
   For i = 1 To UBound(Lst)
      If InStr(1, Lst(i, 1), Srch, 1) > 0 Then
         r = r + 1: NLst(r, 1) = Lst(i, 0): NLst(r, 2) = Lst(i, 1)
      End If
   Next i
   Me.FileList.List = NLst
End Sub

yes, this worked for me. But the problem is that if i should press a backspace to delete a letter from the search box, the files remain invisible. Also, by the time i delete all the letters i had written, it will not show the files again until i restart the form
