GetFolderItem

What happened to GetFolderItem? I see it got deprecated, and now I have to use FolderItem.Constructor??

If I want to read a file into a buffer what do I need to use now?

Var theFile As FolderItem For Counter As Integer = 0 To FileListbox.RowCount-1 theFile = New FolderItem(FileListbox.RowTagAt(Counter))

gives:

There is more than one method with this name but this does not match any of the available signatures. theFile = New FolderItem(FileListbox.RowTagAt(Counter))

I think RowTagAt uses Variant and FolderItem requires String. This is just a guess.

Edit: change

theFile = New FolderItem(FileListbox.RowTagAt(Counter))

to

theFile = New FolderItem(FileListbox.RowTagAt(Counter).StringValue)

You possibly need to supply the path type / mode.
