I am running Ubuntu 9.10 with Lazarus 0.9.26.2-2 beta and FPC 2.2.4

I have a local windows share folder open on the desktop
(smb://ip/share_folder) and I want to use a TFileListBox to show the
files in the smb folder. The normal OpenFile dialog does not include
network drives and the TDirectoryEdit does not show network folders.

How do I access network window share folders in Lazarus.

Thanks

I can see shared smb directory, but mounted in other directory,
like /mnt/bases, not with smb://

I test OpenDialog and SelectDirectoryDialog with Lazarus 0.9.27.

Under Ubuntu/Gnome, the mount point for a browsed SMB share is
actually under ${HOME}/.gvfs/

From this I can see there could be two solutions. The first is to use
Gnome VFS from Gnome libs, so you get SMB drives listed. The other is
to use conventional VFS and mounting SMB drives using smbmount or
similar.

So essentially you need to decide do you wish to depend on Gnome or
Samba...
