Populate a listbox from outside

Post by *erezsh »

Hi all,

Does anyone know a way to populate a TC listbox from outside, e.g. as a result of some script?
I'm interested in something similar to the "feed to listbox" search feature, only that the paths will come from some .txt file (just as an example).
I thought I could use a script to occupy a directory with .lnk shortcuts to the files I like to list, but this would be slower and harder to use than populate a listbox with the actual files.

Any kind of solution will be welcome...
Thanks in advance :)

Packer or file system plugins exist for such needs. They just populate lists and allow to operate with files.

Also you can use filelists in search dialog, just specify path to list in Search in field like described in help:

Code: Select all

@c:\path\filelist.txt
So your script can use that.

Also you can use my virtual panel to keep links to files, and you can use a script to add files into it.
