Why do you want that browser application to know the volume of a disk ?
.. and what if there were several disks ?

for your HD space to be shown simply go into your button (code) after you declare your variable and define what it is (code you put into post) simply take your freespace variable and have it output to something like a text box or list box...

Code: Select all

text1.text = freespace
somethings like this, remember your variable will keep the same information its assigned until you change it ;)


[/code]

thanx a lot m8 :o

but i didnt quite understand it so


lets say i have button1 and textbox1

i write the code to check the HD :

Code: Select all

Dim freeSpace As Long
        freeSpace = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDriveInfo("C:\").TotalFreeSpace

then what i do? i insert textbox1.text = freespace

hmm WTF?! w8 a minute!! in that code....and in the box....

Dim freeSpace As Long
freeSpace = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDriveInfo("C:\").TotalFreeSpace


and then texbox1.text = freeSpace

OMG its just like Phyton's code when you want it to show a result or smthng:

freespace = input("What is the freespace")

then you write:

print "the freespace you entered early is", freespace


OMG i got it

CIRCUITBomB YOUR A GENIOUS!!!
