Listing files in a directory

Here another one.

It just crashes when calling without the optional argument:

Code: Select all

BrowseDirectory("C:\")

This argument isn't optional, it looks only as

Here another one.

Interesting. Frankly since the manual says Prototypes are for "advanced" programmers I never use them. Maybe I should try to learn more about them.

But I'm not sure there is any improvement in your approach.

When testing your code here (XP Pro) it averages 10 times longer than my posted routine which builds the tree display. Yours only counts the files while mine builds the tree, so it isn't an "apples to apples" comparison. I expected my code should take longer but it doesn't.

Yours is counting the subfolders multiple times and including them in the file count. The file count is overstated. I think your count increment is misplaced.

Okay, the result is more to test some files added. CountList(Files()) gives the exactly result.

Have you made the speedtest without debugger? A routine, that fills any gadget can't faster as this routine

Prototypes not only for advanced programmers. This is required for everyone uses any DLL!
Callfunction... is for bad programmers
