Description:
Im making an application that moniters a specified drive for changes to files, and adds the changes to a list box.
So far I have come accross some fantastic code, but it seems to have a bug in it.
I need to be able to specify an entire drive and have the program return any changes that have happened, including subdirectories infinatly deep.
This code can do that.
The problem I'm having is that, even when it detects a change, it always reports the change as being the first file in the watched drive, in my case Autoexec.bat (when C: is targeted).
I need this code fixed so it actually returns the correct filename or directory name when a modification happens.
The code is located at
http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/index.html?code/fileapi/watchedfolder.htm
To look into subdirectories change the line of code:
WatchCreate = FindFirstChangeNotification(lpPathName, False, flags)
TO
WatchCreate = FindFirstChangeNotification(lpPathName, True, flags)
Solution needs to be completly in VB6.
Deliverables:
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
Platform:
Windows 95, Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 4.0 Server, Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional
Must be 100% finished and received by buyer on:

Hello!
Attached is code for the same solution, using a different technique. My code doesn't require
a long directory search to locate the changed item, and it works for files and folders
across the entire system (everything located under the Desktop).
It is entirely in VB6 with API, is well commented with proper code formatting and variable
naming (hungarian notation); and can be yours as soon as the money is escrowed. :)
I look forward to doing business with you.
Thanks for reading,
Will
