TFilterComboBox.FileList Property

Links the filter combo box to a file list box control.

Pascal

property FileList: TFileListBox;

C++

__property TFileListBox FileList;

Description

If the form includes a TFileListBox object to display a list of files to choose from, set FileList to allow the filter combo box to limit which files are displayed in the list box. Once the two controls are connected, whenever a new filter is selected using a filter combo box, the file list box displays the files that match the selected filter.
