subdirectories-to-list-box

Arguments: list-box directory-string &key static-text drive-p current-directory-p

Use of this function is deprecated

This function is hooked directly into older Windows functionality for listing the files of a directory into a list-box control (a single-item-list, multi-item-list, or combo-box). This functionality does not handle long file names, and was somewhat awkard to use. It is more straightforward to simply call directory to find the files that are in a directory, and then call (setf range) on the control to list the files there. Subdirectories only may be shown by including only those files for which file-directory-p returns true.

There is an example in the description of files-to-list-box showing how to display in a single-item-list without using files-to-list-box. That example could be adapted to replace this function.

This is a more specialized function than files-to-list-box. It lists subdirectories only. This could be achieved with files-to-list-box, but this function is a bit simpler to call in the common case of listing subdirectories. The arguments work the same as in files-to-list-box.
