How can I load text file into list box in Visual Basic 6

[Marethyu]

I have downloaded a Visual Basic 6 application which pick a random name from a list box. But I want the list box to already be filled with names from a text. What should I do? I have entirely no knowledge about Visual Basic and I am just watching tutorial from YouTube. I will just use this application so that I can randomly pick names on my online class. Thanks

Opening text file in vb6 requires a physical path to the file location.

This code can help you.

Sub ReadFile(listBox1 As ListBox, filePath As String)

Open filePath For Input As #dfile
Dim txt As String

  Do While Not EOF(dfile)        ' this will read all text to listbox
   Line Input #dfile, txt  
    listBox1.Items.Add(txt)
  Loop

  Close #dfile
End Sub

Good luck
