List Box Used To Open Files?
Feb 18, 2010
I'm working on a project, basically writing a small application intended to allow the user to open files from a specific directory, edit them without saving (through a RTE), then export the edited content to a word document using bookmarks.Part of this program I would truly like to add would be a list box displaying the name of files in a specific directory - and for the user to be able to click on each file name in the list box, and for the file contents to display within my RTE.

Is there a way to get a list of all the files that are open? I can get a list of processes, but I want to know all the files that each program has open (or at least has the handle of).

I current have an app that I am trying to create. I have 2 List boxes, a textbox, and a command button.What I am trying to do is take about 100 text files that all have certain text in them that I need to change at run time to whatever I put into the textbox. For instance Each Text file has my old company name and I want to be able enter my new name into the textbox and click the command button and the app will open each text file, find the text that I specify and replace it with my new name then save the file into a specified folder.What elements should I be studying to make this happen? So far this is what I've come up with:
OpenFileDialog - to open the file
StreamReader - to read the text files and find the text that I specified
**Not sure on the replace method**
StreamWriter - to write the text from the textbox to the new file
SaveFileDialog - to save the file to the specified location

I have a SQL Server table with a list of files (path + filename), and a folder with multiple layers and files in each layer. I'm looking for a way to reconcile the two without having to process the list twice. Currently, I'm doing this:
For Each f as FileInfo In FileListFromDatabase
If f.Exists is False, mark it as deleted in the database
Next
[Code]....
Is there a better way to do this? I'd like to avoid converting all the matching files (of which most will be) to FileInfo objects twice. Since I'm a T-SQL developer first, I'm picturing something like an OUTER JOIN of the two lists where they don't match. Something LINQ-ish?

I have an application that can read certain types of files, and I have it working so that if you do "open with" from windows, it automatically starts the application and opens the selected file.
Unfortnately, I cannot get it to work for more than one file.
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() contrains the following:
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(0) = name and path to the .exe
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(1) = name and path to the first file selected to be opened
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Length is 2 when the user tries to open 1 file, which makes sense since the first argument is the .exe itself and the 2nd is the path to the file, but it does not increase to 3 if the user tries to open 2 files... meaning that System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(2) is never populated Here is some sample code that shows the problem: It will recognize no files or 1 file being opened, but if you try to open multiple it will only show the first.

im used to C programming.
Private Sub SaveAsToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveAsToolStripMenuItem.Click
timedate.Stop()[code]......
The problem is that if I save a file I get "myfile.GDL" if I overwrite that I get a new file "myfile.GDL.GDL" ect.the other problem being that the filtering in the windows save/open dialog wont show .GDL files unless I select "all files".

I have many container files on a hard drive, inside of them are many images. I have to get a particular image by using an ID to do this I have to go trough each of the container files and find the one which has the ID in it then I can retrieve the image.
I think I have 3 options:
load all the images at start up into memory, some images may or may not be used. as I need each image go through all the container files and open the image into memory. create a dictionary of IDs and what file they are in at start up and then get each image as I need it without have to go through all the container files.

I'm creating a program that will hide/show windows. I am stuck on getting a list of all the open windows. I can get the window's handles, but I would like the actual window title...
Here is my source so far:
- My variables/imports/required functions
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.Diagnostics
[code]....
As you can see it just lists the window's handle in my listview control just by calling GetActiveWindows()So how do I get the window's text?

I have written a text editor and I have created a menu option called "Display Modes". From within Display Modes the user can change the way in which he/she looks at the open documents, but what I also want to do is list the documents that are open in that menu (Display Modes), sort of like a Most Recently Used/Viewed list. So for instance I have got a lot of documents open at once and I want to quickly see what is there I can go to my Windows Menu click Display Modes and look at what I have got open.

I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition, and I have a large windows forms project I have been working on. My computer froze up and I had to reboot. After reboot I opened my project, all the files loaded although I got a message telling me that the document load was skipped because of the way the project opened the last time. I am able to debug and run the program so the app is ok. but when I double click on a form to open it nothing happens. Even if i right click it and select "View Designer" or "View Code" nothing happens. No errors just nothing. I was able to open other projects with no problem but not this one, and this project is the only one that matters.

I have created a small application to open the Flash File from my VB.Net Windows Application. To open the Flash file - I have used the Shockwave Flash Object. When I run the application directly from the Solution, the flash files are opening perfectly. But, once I created the EXE and tried to open the same file, I could not. But I can still open other files such as XML, PDF, and Word file from the same directory.

In our application, when you go to "Menu > Help...", it opens our help files in Internet Explorer, which is the desirable effect. However, we have the shortcut key "F1" set to open the help files as well. It still opens the help in Internet Explorer... but it also opens them up at the same time in the user's default web browser![code]...

I am opening a large PDF file using the following
Process.Start(Application.StartupPath & "PREVI.pdf")
I have two questions:
1) Is there a way to go directly to a page number?
2) Can I write a code to have the table of contents show up on the left side of the document so users can click on to go to different sections of the document, not sure if this needs to be done while creating the PDF or if we can do it by code.
