How To Get Function OpenFileDialog To Return Path
Mar 15, 2011
I am using the open file dialog box. Right now the function looks like
Private Function OpenFileDialog1_FileOK(...)
File_Path_Name = OpenFileDialog1.Filename.ToString()
End Function
The thing is it isn't clear when this is called. I think it is called when I go through
OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
I want to return a value that is the Filename path to a variable like
file_path = Function()
and not use a global variable. But it doesn't seem like this is possible. Do you know how to get the function OpenFileDialog to return the file path?

I'm working on an application, a GUI front-end for a command-line program. What I need to do is this:-use the OpenFileDialog to retrieve the command-line program's path (as it may be in different places for different users)-save that path string in a variable that I can use later (save "C: arget" in a variable called mainPath)

This is my first post on dreamInCode, Is it possible to browse and select a file on a server share, but I need it to return the UNC path. e.g. if I select F:\sharename\filename.txt, it will work out the share path on the PC and show the actual Path.\\servername\sharegroupName\sharename\filename.txt
The reason for this is that some users have different share drive letters.

I'm revamping a program and am having a bit of trouble. See I was using StreamReader in my last program. The user had to type the path and file into a textbox to get the program to load the information it needed. So I wanted to change that and use a OpenFileDialog method.
I got the open file dialog method working but the 1st step before I go anywhere else with this program is getting the path to the file that was opened as it is needed to load images within the same folder.

I'm sure this has been addressed in other threads, but I wasn't able to come across any using the search function.I'm using the OpenFileDialog feature to have the user select a file. However, I want to have a label display the path of the file only.I've been using the OpenFileDialog1. SafeFileName feature to save only the name of the file, but I haven't found one that will save the path, but not the file name.I considered splicing the path and file name, but with an unpredictable path length and unpredictable file extension type, I thought it would get messy.

im trying to make an application which on start ask the user to browse for a .lnk file Once the lnk file has been browsed,the application is shown and there are two buttons
1.Launch
2.Exit
When The Launch Button Is Clicked,The .lnk File which the user browsed to at application startup should open. On exit,well it just exits the application! and the openfiledialog should pop up only for the first time the user ever opens the application.the file path should be stored in a .txt or .ini or registry file so that next time he doesnt have to browse for it again..how would i go about doing this!Here is my code so far!

I'm doing a project now. I'm having a problem on getting specific file type from my computer using the .getfiles function.
Here's my codes.
Private Sub dlgOpen_FileOk(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles dlgOpen.FileOk
Dim filepath as String = "C:"
dlgOpen.CheckFileExists = True
[CODE]...
What I wanted to happen is when the openfiledialog prompted and once I've selected the file, the file information I've specified above must show on the application as a label. But nothing appears. The file name only appears on the text box beside the open button. It should also appear above the button and the text box as a label. How could i possibly do that? And how could I select just one file at a time from a folder with 150 other files in it? When I use getFiles, it only gets all at the same time everything that's in the folder even if i've only just selected one file.

Just so it's known, this question is mostly academic, even though I tried to use the concept in a real-world solution. I realize the example is contrived, but I believe the concept is valid.I want to write some fluent code like this:
[code]...
I realize that I can't force an anonymous type into a specific type (like implementing an interface or some other class), and I don't want the overhead of defining a specific class just to match my desired fluent name with the actual method name. So I was able to make the code work like this:
copy(my_first_file).to.Invoke(my_second_file)So there is no IntelliSense or type awareness there, and I have to include the Invoke in order to have the method run. How can I get more type safety and exclude the Invoke method, under these constraints: Anonymous Type returned from Method No additional classes or interfaces Preferably, I do not want to pass in another parameter to the copy() method that tells what type to return, unless copy becomes a generic method (but I think that means defining another class/interface, which I don't want to do)

I have a class that contains one function: "ShowDialog()" It creates a new openfiledialog and sets its title, but when it is run, the title of the openfiledialog is set to the current directory that is shown in the dialog. I would not like this behavior. Here is the code:
Public Class LoadSet
Public Shared Function ShowDialog() As System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult
Dim Dialog As New System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
Dialog.DefaultExt = ".bsfci"

How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Properties.Settings.Default.persistConnectionType = openFileDialog1.FileName
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

I have one small problem on my app, here's the deal, when I run my app that have a button for "load playlist" and when I click on file>options my app is looking for settings.xml (created before by the same app) on the same folder from where I loaded my playlist. Load playlist button is on my Form1 and Form4, and settings is on my Form6, and this happend every time I load anything, open anything, so my app remembers last opened folder. Is there any way that I can return my path to apps path? I need to mention that this applies only to Windows XP, idk why, because on my win7 it works just fine.

So basically, I am running through my selected path recursively and returning the results to an array.. I think.
vb.net
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim path As New FolderBrowserDialog
If path.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Me.TextBox1.Text = path.SelectedPath
[Code] .....
I was told that to return the search to an array, I add the return toarray() at the end.
Now obviously Im not getting errors, but I am also not polling the results that are in fileslist.toarray(). I've looked at arrays quite a bit, I see their functionality if they are defined like myarray(4) with 5 declared array values... its an array with 5 value places. And to read from any one of the 5, you'd say something like msgbox(myarray(3)) to call the 3rd place in the array.
Well, as you can tell from the code, I am putting a variable amount of information into the array, How can I call that information? If I scanned a folder with 300 files, how can I call the results of that array and put them in a text file, or console, or messagebox through them? And assume I am doing it through a button click event. So, button click to read all input in the array to console or something like that.

I am new to the Window's API and have been trying to just poke around with it. It was suggested to me to try making a time tracker program that will track how long a window is actively being used and keep windows from the same .exe file grouped together. Things have been going good so far, but I am having trouble with the GetModuleFileNameEx command.
According to MSDN if GetModuleFileNameEx succeeds it should return the length of the path name; however, when I output the return value of GetModuleFileNameEx, it is just a random long number that changes with every tick of the timer. Also when i try to output the path of the open window just to see what is being stored there, it is blank. I have googled and surfed the net for but to no avail. I was curious if someone here might have an answer for me Here is the code I am having trouble with:

I'm using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. I have a Folder Dialog Browser added in my form and I call it when the user presses a button. The folder path string is stored in a string variable and displayed as text in a text box. (maybe I should use a combo box)
My question is: If the user inputs by hand a non existent path, how do I return an error message, stop the file creation into the invalid path, and return to my main form?

I'm running windows 7 64 bit and using VS 2010. I'm trying to use the filesystem.getfiles to find a file on the computer and return the path for it. However, when I search C:/ and its subdirectories, it always throws an error: "A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll"
I've looked everyone online and can't find a solution. I have administrator privileges and really I dont want people who use my app to have to adjust security settings for this to work. Is there not a way to search the C drive for a specific file and return its path? [Code]

take a look at the following Code:
Private Sub btnDebug_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDebug.Click
Dim d As Date
[Code]....
The Funtion ZZNull always returns Nothing, so IsNothing(d) in the calling method should evaluate to True.
But it does not !
When you run these lines, then you will see that IsNothing(d) evaluates to False

So the program I am writing validates the controls on the page on button_click.
I want to write a function which checks which step the program is at (0-7) then return something depending on whether or not it validated.
My plan was to return the control which was not valid.
Private Function ValidateInputs() As Control
Select Case wizardStep
Case 0
[Code].....
1. could I return the names off all the controls which did not validate?
2. should I be returning a control type or would something like a string be better?

I've created my own version of HexToDec() to properly handle the negative flag. I saw other versions online that used "Not(value)" to do the Pos/Neg inversion, but that does not generate the proper value... No, it's not the most elegant my any means. But I couldn't find anything online that actually worked.
Long story short, I want to return NaN in the case that the function is passed a string that is not a valid hex string...
How do I do that? Everything I've tried generates a compiler error... (assign return value to double.nan, assign return value to non-numeric, etc)
Existing function is below:
Function HexToDec(ByVal hexStr As String, Optional ByVal signed As Boolean = False) As Long
Dim lngFinal As Long
