Visual Basic FileSystemObject Wrapper v2.5
Download now (136KB)
In this project we create a DLL with several routines to make use of the Scripting.FileSystemObject.
Be sure to make a reference to "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" (scrrun.dll)
in your project. To get a hard copy of the VBScript documentation or an updated version, visit:
VB Script DLL:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?URL=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/001/733/msdncompositedoc.xml
VBScript Documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sample.asp?url=/MSDN-FILES/027/001/728/msdncompositedoc.xml
Registering FsoKci.dll
Copy the FsoKci.dll file to the system directory where all your
other DLL's are stored.
- Windows 9x, ME:
\Windows\System
- Windows NT4, 2000, XP:
\Winnt\System32
Now register the DLL so it will be recognized by the system.
Select the START button, RUN
for Windows 9x, ME type:
regsvr32 c:\windows\system\FsoKci.dll
for NT4, 2000, XP Type:
regsvr32 c:\winnt\system32\FsoKci.dll
In the VB IDE, to use this DLL, you must first reference it via
Projects, References on the toolbar menu. Scroll down the list
and place a checkmark next to FsoKci
Hints and Tips
Passing a Type structure from a DLL is simple after you have done it at
least once. However, this process is not well documented anywhere.
In the receiving form or module:
-
Set up a reference to the DLL in the declarations section.
Private cFSO as FsoKci.clsFSO
or
Private WithEvents cFSO as FsoKci.clsFSO
-
Set up a reference to the Type structure located within the DLL class
Private mtypFI as FsoKci.FileInfo
- Instantsiate the object.
Set cFSO = New FsoKci.clsFSO
Now you can reference the Type structure via mtypFI within your
form or module.
- When you want the file information, you would first request
information and then make a call to retrieve the information.
Do the same for drive information.
If cFSO.GetFileInfo("C:\Windows\Win.com") then
' The data is now the file structure
Call cFSO.ReturnFileInfo(mtypFI)
End If
