yes the files are visible now !!!
but was does this mean?
It means something is wrong with your program if you don't see the files there.
Now... back to your opening post.
I cannot get TFileListBox working under Win32 ( now Lazarus 1.6.4).:
This is what I have done:
I' ve put a TFileListBox on the form and I've added in the OnClick event of a button (leaving everything else in the default settings):
FileListBox1.directory:= 'c:\users\public\STEPBYSTEPFILEFOLDERS';
I would expect the content of 'c:\users\public\STEPBYSTEPFILEFOLDERS to be displayed in the TFileListBox, but it remains completely empty.
If you drop a TFileListBox on your form the ftNormal is checked in FileType.
So try this yourself exactly (again) (WITH A NEW CLEAN PROGRAM) and see if you see the files.
If you still don't see the files, please upload your test-program here.
Project > Publish project > Ok
(keep directory at $(TestDir)/publishedproject/)
Your files are at %temp%/publishedproject/
Zip these files and place it in a post here.
