I want to make a program that displays files in listview and makes the files clickable. How could I do this? I just need a little bit of help and I want the files to be displayed on form_load and if you need a location to display files from for an example, here is my location:C:WINDOWS
I'm not asking for anything huge, just an explanation or example, maybe a small amount of code.

I want to make a program that is similar to Windows Explorer. It will have a button that when you click it it opens a FolderBrowserDialog and it will have an area that displays the contents of the selected folder. I want to have a label that displays the current folder path (i.e. 'USERDocuments...') and I also would like a feature to search all files on the computer.Also, is it possible that when I click on a file in the contents of the selected folder it displays its information (i.e. Name, Size, etc.)? And can I also make it so that if you double click on another folder in the current folder's display it opens that folder? And can I have a button to go up one directory?
View 1 RepliesI'd like to move my images / icons and wav files (basically, almost all of my internal resources) from an existing project (VB 2005) and put them in an external dll, then reference this from my exe and call the relevant resource as required.
What would be the best way of doing this?I understand that I should create a ClassLibrary and put my resources in that, but how should I expose those resources to an external program and how should I reference and call the dll from my exe?
I've done some searching, but not found anything that seems to explain the process adequately enough.
There's a really simple way to convert images to icons:
Dim icon As Icon = Icon.FromHandle(bmp.GetHicon())
It also produces really horrible icons. Is there a better way to convert them, or more accurately, what is the better way to convert them?
dim ie as shdocvw.internetexplorer
dim ie=new shdocvw.internetexplorer
sleep (500)
ie.navigate2("http://www.vbforums.com/images/logo.gif")
Now I want to save that image to a file,. How do I do that?
Also is there a way to do it using webclient?
I'm trying to access some images I've copied into a folder within Solution Explorer. For the life of me I can't figure out how to access them programmatically.
I'm using VB 2010 Express Edition. The folder name is 'Images'. The image name is 'checked.png'.

When I add an image to the imagelist, the con shows up. That's fine Let's say that I added 4 images (four items to the listview) then remove one item from the listview. From there, the next item I add will adopt the previous image added. How can I keep this from happening?
I have been trying to create a listview in detail mode which has 2 images (a light is on and one with the light off which represents a boolean value) I have gotten some code which populates the Listview during runtime but i have tried various ways to get the images into this without any success, google has been particularly useless and most examples seem to involve creating an array for each row(great if you have all the data in the first place, my project will perform like a log, it will show an Id, a Name and then 2 colums which should have on/off icons in them.
This is my sample code which works by creating a ListViewItem, adding the items for the row and then adding it. When i did this on my project however it showed nothing in the view (presume i need to refresh it after each add?)

I am trying my hand at .Net 2010. I played around with vb6 for years but now it has come time to do .Net. So I am making a Explorer type app where I have a treeview on the left and a listview on the right. I have all that working fine I now want to add icons to the files listed in the listview. My app calls function in a class file and it populates the listviewHow do you add (dynamically) the icons from the files shown? Below is the function in the class file I have, not the form file.
Public Function ListFoldersFiles(ByVal path As String, ByVal lvTemp As ListView, Optional ByVal sExtFilter As String = "*.*")
' Create a reference to the current directory.

I've got a list view that opens items inside a folder and displays them. I want to know if there is a way to have the list view display the icons as well, maybe using shell32 or an imagelist. Here's the code:

Imports System.Xml
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Public Class cv7import

I'm a VB beginner. The following image comes from a Mac application that I've developed. This window lists all visible files and their icons for a particular folder.

The issue I'm running into is that 1 folder I have has 812 files in it and it takes a good 20 seconds or more to load the files with their Extracted icons.
Furthermore, I ran into one instance where a .pdf file was given a system icon (sort of like the icon a .bat file would receive with the two gears) instead of the Adobe PDF icon.
So, my questions are: 1) Is there a better way to load files so that it will be able to get the icons and display them in the Listview faster?
2) Is there a better way of getting associated icons since the VS built in option seems fallible.
I am trying to add icons to a listview that would contain a list of programs added by the user. I am pulling my hair out over this. I had the solution a few days ago and then I decided to go in another direction and then cleared my browser history. I have searched for that code for awhile now to no avail.

Dim tmpIcon As Icon = GetIcon("...")

I 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.

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.
