I want to clear the history in an open file dialog, so that previous opened files won't be shown if a user clicks on the drop down arrow behind "File name". I have created an open file dialog and named it "ofd_openen".
Then I 've tried:
ofd_Openen.SafeFileNames = False
and also
ofd_Openen.FileNames.Clear()
but that doesn't work.
I don't know at all how you would clear Mozilla Firefox's History in Visual Basic Code, I've Googled a lot, and I've seen questions similar to mine and they haven't ever been resolved.By the way I do know how to clear it, but not in Visual Basic code.
By History I mean: Cookies, URL history, Form data, etc.
At one point I have a dialog form open, but in order to process it, the user might want to access information on other (open) forms. This would necessitate the ability to move/resize/scroll the other forms, but obviously everything is frozen during the dialog. I don't suppose it's possible to achieve this "semi-modal" state, where other forms can be browsed, but no other actions taken?

I have a small script that logs all of the website I visit and then displays them on a form. When I open the form the first time it displays all of the websites like it should. However, the second time I open it, it displays two of every website. The third time opening it, three of every website. I think that it is because the data doesn't get erased from the listbox when I close the form. Is there a way to clear the listbox when the form closes or do I need to find a new way to set it up?
View 6 Replieswhat a good code to delete my "Webbrowser1" cookies (not my IE7 cookies !) I would also like this program to delete the Webbrowser1 History & Temporary Files as well, but mainly the cookies. I would like for this program to either delete cookies by a simple click of a button or to set a timer that can erase the cookies every few minutes. Also, if it could show the current cookies before being deleted.
View 5 RepliesI am using TextFieldParser to read a .txt file and create a DataTable I then filter the table and create 4 new tables I then bind those tables to BindingSources Then Bind ComboBoxs to the BindingSource Then bind TextBoxes to BindingSource I like the user to be able to Open a new file without having to close the program So upon opening a new file I have a sub routine that clears the tables the rows and the columns of each table as well the DataBindings to each control The problem is once I do the Text Binding as such
Me.list1_MLStxt.DataBindings.Add("Text", Subject_Values.BindingSource1, Form10.mls_txt.Text)
Then when I open a new file I get an error message conversion from string"""" to type double is not valid.If I never perform the binding I can open and reopen different files without a problem. So this is causing me to think that the problem is with the way I am clear something? But I am obviously not sureIs there something I am missing to clear everything properly in order to open and read and bind a new file?
How do i make it that when i hit a button file dialog opens and i can select a text file from my computer
then output the text file into listbox1.text
I need a code for the open file dialog that if a file is not supported then a message box appears stating the error. This is my open file dialog code. [code] The message box pops up like it is suppose to, when you click ok the open file comes back up like it is suppose to. When you put in the correct file the message box comes back up again. Also the message pops up even if the correct file is put in the open file. but if you close the file dialog the image is where it is suppose to be.I believe the code for the public sub wrongfile is what is the problem. can some one look it over and let me know what changes are needed.

code snippet that would allow a progress bar to track the input of a text file? Normally I would not bother with this, but the text files are > 10,000 lines long, which is noticable even on a fast machine. The number of lines is variable, so I would assume that one would not use a fixed value to calculate when the progress bar goes 100%.

I have completed the vb tutorial on
[URL]
and have successfully got a file name from the open file dialog when coded as part of the "Public Class Form1" -> Private Function btnOpenXML_Click function that was generated automatically by vb. The openFD was generated by adding the OpenFileDialog to the pane underneath the form.
Private Function btnOpenXML_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOpenXML.Click
Dim strFileName As String
[Code]....
I'd like to move this code to a module so that it does not clutter my main form1 layout.
However when copy the code to a new module, the openFD is not recognised.
how to I re-declare this openFD or pass it into the function so that it can be used?

i have wrote a program that allows users to open and save text files etc and it all works fine. All i was hoping to find out is if it is possible to specify the initial folder you are taken to when using the OpenFileDialog. This would be useful as the users only open and edit files from one folder which takes quite a bit of drilling down to to find.
Public Partial Class MainForm
Dim i As Integer = 0
Sub OpenToolStripMenuItemClick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

is it possible to select a whole folder in vb.net open dialog box?

View 4 RepliesI am doing setup project in VS 2008. I used custom action to select file from local drives. On the button click of custom action form, I am launching Open file dialog as ofdGetNetPath.ShowDialog When I run the setup on Vista, and click the button to open the openFileDialog, it hanged, form becomes non responsive and I have to cancel the setup.
on debugging I got following error "Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your main function has STAThreadAttribute marked in it. This exception is only raised if a debugger is attached to the process."
so I used the following code:
Dim ofdThread As Thread ofdThread = New Thread(New ThreadStart(AddressOf ShowOpenFileDialog)) ofdThread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA) ofdThread.Start() Private Sub ShowOpenFileDialog() Me.ofdGetNetPath.ShowDialog() End Sub
now on button click, OpenFileDialog is shown but it is not showing Mapped drive or Network location... what should I need to do to show the mapped drive or network locations?
