Initiate Copy Command On Multiple Files And Add The File Paths To Listbox?

Jan 19, 2011

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.

[2008] Copying From One Listbox To Another And Keeping The Paths Of The Files In The Listbox's

Jan 26, 2009

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.

Keep File Paths Across Multiple Computers If Everything Is In It?

Nov 16, 2009

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?

VS 2005 - Advanced File Copy - Multiple Destinations

Jan 8, 2010

I found this program and am amazed: [url] The promises is simple: copy larges file, to multiple removable drives in one go (instead of creating one separate process per copy), in order to make the copy FAST.

Publisher comments: "Rapid Copy is capable of copying data to the several destinations in one time. Lightning fast, Rapidcopy make backups and copies to up to 8 drives simultaneously." This was made using DotNet, since the framework is a prerequisite. Big Question: Is this REALLY possible? Does anyone here have an ideia on how this can be accomplished using VB.NET?
