I want to make a program that is similar to Windows Explorer. It will have a button that when you click it it opens a FolderBrowserDialog and it will have an area that displays the contents of the selected folder. I want to have a label that displays the current folder path (i.e. 'USERDocuments...') and I also would like a feature to search all files on the computer.Also, is it possible that when I click on a file in the contents of the selected folder it displays its information (i.e. Name, Size, etc.)? And can I also make it so that if you double click on another folder in the current folder's display it opens that folder? And can I have a button to go up one directory?

Once I put the password in, I'd then be able to access, make changes, and open my files that I choose to put in there. I did try this, but I get UnauthorizedAccessException. I get it when it reaches:

View 4 RepliesI am trying to make my application run on Windows 7 X64. The application runs fine, however the explorer process keeps crashing after i started or ended the application. Explorer crashes mostly on right mouse button clicks. This gives me a feeling there are pointer problems / mem overloads with the application Application CPU is set to X86, i ran into debug mode with stack traces no serious issues found. I am using a couple of Api's and i know there are rules regarding WOW64 mode however they are really unclear. MSDN doesn't supply the information i need. The information supplied only raishes more questions lol.

I want to list all open Windows Explorer windows with their active path in a ListBox. The app should refresh the ListBox if the explorer window is navigated to a different path.
For e.g. two explorer windows are open. One is navigated to C:Windows and the other is navigated to D:Stuff. When the app it run, it adds C:Windows and D:Stuff to the ListBox. Then, the user navigates to a different folder in one of the open explorer windows like C:Windowssystem32. The app should then refresh the ListBox and list C:Windowssystem32 and D:Stuff instead.
I want to catch the event of deletion, renaming or copying a file in Windows Explorer. For example, if a folder contains the files "test.a" and "test.b", and that I remove "test.a", then my program will remove the two (same for copy and rename).I know how to add an entry to the context menu of Windows. But the goal isn't to add functionality to Windows. The goal is to redefine an existing function.
View 2 RepliesI wrote a program that runs in the background and waits for me to hit a predefined key combination.
When I hit this key combination I want it to do the following
Check and verify that Windows Explorer is up If IE open, I want it to get the current/active windows explorer screen directory.
So lets say I had windows explorer opened to "c:\program files(x86)\my Folder"
Then when I press my key combination "shift+t" my program will get the directory of my windows explorer.
So it should display a message saying something like "Active Directory: c:\program files(x86)\my Folder"

View 1 RepliesI'm making a music player, where a user can add and remove music from a treeview control. However, for each song, the user must enter the name and artist. The file path, artist and name are then all saved. I've noticed that in Windows Explorer, in the music library, it already has the song name, artist etc. How could I get my application to read this information and add it as a string?
For example,
Private SongName As String
Private ArtistName As String
Private FilePath As String
