 [form.]filelistbox.Pattern[ = filespec$]
 
 Usage Notes
   ■ The Pattern property plays a key role in designing an application's
     file-browsing and manipulation capabilities. Use Pattern with other
     file properties to provide the user ways to explore files or groups of
     similar files in an application. For example, in an application
     dedicated to launching other programs, you might designate that only
     .EXE files be displayed in the file list box (*.EXE).
 
   ■ Changing the value of the Pattern property generates a PatternChange
     event. See: PatternChange Event
