View 1 RepliesIs there a way in VB .Net to add specific icons to a desktop like "Computer", "Network",Recycle bin", and "User" files? I want to be ablse to use it for XP and Vista, but Vista as a main priority. In vista you can Right Click the desktop select "Properties", click "Change Desktop Items" in the left hand corner, and then select the icons you want. I thought that maybe there is a way to do it by calling that, or maybe a way to do it in the registry.

View 1 RepliesI'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?

I'm practicing using the setup and deployment project. I can add a shortcut to the desktop and give it an icon to display without problem. Many applications have a choice of icons to display for the desktop icon; when we right-click on the icon and choose "change icon" there is a box that appears giving the user a choice of different styles of icons to use for the programme. My question is: how can I give the user a choice of icons to be able to select which one to display? Do I have to make a dll file or is it another method?
I am having a problem I have created a program which will create Shortcuts by using CLSID. (Edd Bott say God Mode)The problem is it runs fine on some computer but in other it did not work fine.

View 1 RepliesI have created a project that uses a listview associated to an imagelist (LargeImagelist, I have set the size as 100 x 75 and 32 bit depth), that displays information from a database along with an image from the image list. My listview is set to tilemode so that I can control the size of the tiles to get two columns of six. The image list is populated when the form is loaded from all the images in a specific folder, this part is working appropriately as I can get a picturebox working consistently that references an image from the imagelist.

I need to obtain a list of desktop icons and add them to a ListView. I'm currently doing this:
[code]...
It points to the direct path the icons should be located under the user profile. However, for some reason I've yet to determine, not all of the icons are in this directory.
Does anybody know the code to refresh and reload desktop icons, you know how after installations of programs it sometimes refreshes the desktop? That is exactly what I need and what I am looking for. Someone please help me out here because I tried searching on google and could not find any proper code.
