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