Where is info on getting the filename from a FileListBox? And what is the syntax? And is there a good source of info on opening a text file using the FileListBox to select a file etc?
I have an old version of C++ Builder that I'm trying to use to read a simple text file and take the comma delimited numbers from the text file to make a bit-mapped file and then display a picture from the bit-mapped file.
Thanks

As asked before: Please wrap your lines manually.
As told before: look in the help. Use <F1>. Look for FileName.

With the understanding that you did not ask for advice, but only for a
solution, I need to observe that FileListBox is so old that it is hard
to find people with experience using it. If you had asked for a more
general solution, I would have suggested that you consider using
TOpenDialog, because it is both current, and what users from Win95 on
expect to find when they ask an app to open a file. I've never used
FileListBox, so I can't show you any code.
As Hans suggests, FileListBox is constructed of "standard" VCL parts,
so the Help will show you how to access its pieces. But it's not a
pretty picture, and you might spend much less time on it if you switch
to TOpenDialog. That's even available "visually" in the IDE, so most
of the code is "written" for you, and the [TOpenDialog] Help is much
more "direct" in telling you how to get a file name from a user's
selection.
Just a suggestion..
