I'm trying to write a program that allows you to; 1) open a mp3 or wav file via the user finding the file and copying the file path and pasting it into a text box and, 2) by pressing a button it will play the desired file, and then 3) by pressing another button it will stop playing the file. I've already have this under pat,
Private Sub cmdOne_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdOne.Click
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.buzzer, AudioPlayMode.Background)
End Sub
I created a Right-Click Menu option for files. When the user clicks the menu option it will copy all of the file paths to the clipboard.The following function I have will retrieve all of the filepaths to the clipboard. The problem lies in adding the filepaths to the listbox. If I turn single instance application off the result is multiple instance of the application for each filepath. Say for example I selected 2 files and clicked my right-click menu, I wind up with 2 instance of my exe with each file path added to the listbox, 1 in one listbox, the other file path in the second instance listbox.
Public Sub getthepath() Try Dim thefilepath As String
[code]....
Is there a way to loop through each file path from the clipboard and add them to the listbox through a loop?Several times I have tried different ideas I had that I thought would do it and I got odd results but never a good result.
I wrote a program to download and play AVI files the files are large in size and long time wise. I have the files playing as they are being downloaded but i can't see how long the file is or seek reliably. i was reading that the AVI headers are in the last 512kb of the AVI file *why would't they put it at the start* lol so my question is is there a way to download the last 512Kb of the file i'm downloading. i have the Bytes Read and Length of the file while its downlaoding i'm just not sure where to go from there, or how to do it atleast. If i had the length in time of the Avi file i could set the trackbar to be able to seek properly. or if someone has an idea how i could get the time of the video by using fps and some math i could prob do it that way too but idk how i would tell how i can find how many kb are in the fps i'm sure it changes so think that way is't going to be reliable. how to get the last 512kb would be the best option not sure if it can be done even.
I have tried to do this before with a custom file type for a text editor. I barely got it to work... and now I can't even find those files. Now I just want for when I make my NSIS Setup that the file association can allow the mp3 player to play the files when the file itself is double clicked.
I want to display them in a listbox. I have gobbled together this
Dim theFolderBrowser As New FolderBrowserDialog theFolderBrowser.Description = "Please select a folder for the download." 'theFolderBrowser.ShowNewFolderButton = False
[Code]....
get the actual path and then used that to get a bunch of mp3 files paths from a folder. However the above code gives me nothing in return.
Getting paths of files in recycle bin ... but after that introduction of code apear a error. So lets get into place.Before introduce the code, to run an aplication a simple write Shell(path)... now with the import of Shell32 (reference of Microsoft shell controls and automization - Type COM) the shell command doesn't work.what do i have to change so i can execute a file again?TcoUpLoad (work with Vb6 and VbNet)
Im trying to open media player (full screen) and play a movie. When i create the file path like so: Dim MoviePathVTS As String = String.Concat("""" + tempMoviePath, " \VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB" + """")
It wont play the file but if i do it like this: Dim video1 = """F:\Movies\DvD\Angels and Deamons\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB"""
It plays fine? the file paths are the same including the extra "" but it just refuses to play. I need the top one because i have many movies in a treeview.
Heres my code
Private Sub watchNow_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
'get the position of the selected node Dim i = movieTreeView.SelectedNode.Index
This has to be simple, but can't find the answer.I want to display a list of all files from a folder in a listbox. Easy..., but I want to display only the filenames without their paths.
For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("C:My Folder") ListBox1.Items.Add(foundFile) Next This gives me list looking like that: C:My Folderfile1.txt C:My Folderfile2.txt
how can i get it to play other files besides just .wav, like .mp3. wave files are way too large to be used easily if you want a good quality. why cant i play .mp3 files with it?when i convert a 2.1 mb mp3 file to .wav it turns out to be 36 mb?any other ways besides computer.audio to play audio files on command?
I am trying to load a text file into a list box in order to be able to play the files see code below I have an error on this line Which states Error 1 Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of String'.
Dim Open As New OpenFileDialog Dim myStreamReader As System.IO.StreamReader Open.Filter = "Text [*.txt*]|*.txt|All Files [*.*]|*.*"
The end result I am looking for is I want to add File Paths to a CheckedListBox. I only want certain file extensions and if a file by the same name but a specific extension exsists allready then I do not want to add those files to the CheckedListBox.
Example: I am only wanting these filetypes in my CheckedListBox (.gif, .tif, .bmp, and .jpg).However if the filetype (.PNG) allready exsists with the same filename (i.e. image. png and image.jpg) I then do NOT want to add that JPG. Only files that do not allready have a PNG with the same name. (I hope I was able to make this clear)
My current code will add the filetypes (.gif, .tif, .bmp and .jpg) to the CheckedListBox. However I do not know how to have the code only add the files that don't have the PNG.Here is my current code:[code].....
I've been working on an mp3 alarm for awhile, but had to put it on hold for a bit because I can't get it to play anything other than .wav's. How'd you do it?
the user may open a 4 minute audio what i wnat is just to record first one minute or between two points(like between 1.14 and 1.32) and save in to .wav format
I am making a program that plays a sound whenever you hit a button, and was wondering if there was a way to play two .WAV files at once. Here is what the code looks like:
I am working on a project and transferring the whole project back and forth. The thing is I am using a full file path in all my code ("c:/Users/..."), so when I transfer to the other computer the file paths break. Everything I am linking to is in the "bin" folder in my project's folder. How do I have file paths relative to the project folder?
I am having problems with copying from one listbox to another and keeping the paths of the files in the listbox's. At the moment i have two listbox's, listbox1 shows the list of files without the directory paths showing. Listbox2 is used to add items from listbox1 which work ok but what i need is to be able to preserve the directory paths to each file. how to do this and have searched high and low for a solution without any luck.
I have worked out one way of doing it but i think there is a better way of doing it as the reverse does not seem to work. So basicly i want listbox1 to list the files without the paths and pass it on to listbox2 so that the files can be copied to temp directory as they are being add to listbox2.
Below is my
[CODE]...................
Routine to add items from listbox1 to listbox2: I have created another listbox3 (which is in bold), which is hidded under listbox1 and holds all the paths to the files and is use to copy the files from there original directory to a new directory.
[CODE]...................
Routine to add items back to listbox1 and remove them from listbox2. I have created another listbox4 which is hidden under listbox2 which i was trying add the paths from listbox3.

I am coding this app on my home pc, but when complete it will be run on individual pc(s) (each pc has it oun HD) on a local network. I have a world of questions but right now how do I set the path to my database? is there a way to set a default if its not found.Database(s) that the app use's are stored in a folder on the server. i.e.: P:MyServerNameDeptFolderData for example.OLEDB or TableAdapters which would be the better choice.I understand that MS Access DB is rather resticting.
I've started a reader for map files for a small turn based game.However, when it attempts to create a tiles string array, but tiles(0,1) through to tiles(0,9) all precede the filename (3.jpg) with a space.
Normal path: C:\path\tiles\3.jpg Path with rogue spaces (that I can't figure out how to remove): C:\path\tiles\ 3.jpg

i have loaded my application settings into 3 text boxes. now if the user changes these, how do i save the new file/folder paths to my.settings? i tried my.settings.save but it does not seem to work.
'Load the current options Dim MyConnectionString As String = My.Settings.PrimaryConnectionString Dim MyDefaultImportFolder As String = My.Settings.DefaultImportFolder
I am working on a project that consists of manipulating several reports (word and excel). At the beginning of my project I set all paths to a hard string (C:users...................) using the my.settings. Worked great during developement but now its time to test on other machines. I have been toying with using Application.StartupPath but cannot figure out how to modify the app.config so I do not have to recode my forms (given it would not take long), not to sound lazy but I know there has to be a way to achieve a computer specific path to find the reports in the application directory.

I am making an appilcation which displays images from a target folder.

I am trying to write a simple standalone windows forms project that basically contains various buttons which run external application setup files. The problem is I want to be able to run it from a USB stick. I have created a folder inside the project with all the files I need to call in it. I am using Process.start but the paths are obviously going to be wrong when the project is running from the stick as the drive letter may be different each time. How do I over come this.
