I'm new to VB.net and i wanted to find out how i could load the names of files(in a specified dir) into a combobox?
1. get the number of files in specified dir
2. add names of files as items in combobox (using a loop structure)
3. when an item is selected. display the contents in a textbox[code]...
I am trying to populate a combobox with a list of filenames from a selected directory. I am getting the directory OK but the combobox instead of having a list of 8 files max shown when I select the combobox has a full list of all the files selected from that directory.
Private Sub BrowseButton_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles BrowseButton.Click
If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
TextBox1.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath
End If

View 8 RepliesI have a few questions that are bugging me.
1. How can i get file names from a directory and put them in a ListBox? Not the full path to them?
2. Can someone explain how to make a program default to .lua openings?
3. How could i put an icon in the Notification area?
4. When a dialog is open, like options, how can i disable clicking of the main form?
it has been a while since I have asked a question here so I thought now would be a great time to do so. I am creating an application that loops through the file names of a specific directory, in this case, the System32 folder. I want the program to compile a list of the file names and then I want the file names to be displayed on a Timer_Tick event so the name will change on every tick. If anyone could provide a snippet of code to achieve this that would be great. I have been researching and debugging all night with no luck.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a combobox like winform control in VB.Net that makes suggestions dynamically; exactly as the address bar does in Google Chrome or IE 8/9. Basically on each keypress, get a list of items that match the entered text on a background thread(s) and show these items in the dropdown list as they are (possibly slowly) returned - either from DB queries, web services etc.
I have tried a couple of ideas, changing the AutoComplete list dynamically or binding to a list, which I then update. But I am getting some rather odd and incorrect results even when updating the list directly (on the main thread). I also tried implementing my own textbox control that shows a ListBox control where the dropdown would appear - this seemed a lot more reliable but I cannot get it to draw over the edge of forms etc when shown, as the combobox drop-down does.
I have the following combobox items:

I have several groups of files with idential names, but the files inside may or may not have identcal names, and may differ only in the size or date stamp. I want to combine them to save all unique directory names, and unique file names, and if the date/sizes are unique, then add some number on the end of the file name to make them unique as well. Only idential file sizes and names and dates will be discarded. How do you open directories to compare directory/file names and other properties?
View 8 RepliesI have a directory 'C:Test' with three files in it:
A23456789.txt
A1.txt
G 5.txt
And I run this command:
Dim FileArr = Directory.GetFiles("C:Test", "*1.txt", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
All three files are returned.I understand that this is by design and .NET searches the 8.3 short file names as well.But is there any way to override this and search the actual file names only?Surely, in this day and age there must be a function to do this. Or do I have to write my own?I would like the search function to have the same behavior as the Windows Explorer for consistency.

I tried the code below but unfortunately, all i get is a combobox with U,s,e,r,s, as each line in the items collection and not the filenames of the relevant files.
the DirGetPath("Users") Function below returns my default document and application paths and appends "Users" to the end as the relevant files are stored in that Folder.
All I get is a combo box with the items as U, s,e,r,s (i.e. Users spelled out).
I tried all of the following as alternative methods too:
System.IO.Path.GetExtension()
System.IO.Path.GetFileName()
System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension()

Here is the code for my program. We are making a membership list and it needs to load with just the names in the txt file that is in the debug bin. The txt file is set up in one column and holds the member name and the next line is member number and so on. Information is read into an "array of structures" and the display is supposed to be ONLY the names in the listbox on load. This is my problem. I had it displaying all th txt file info and I just need the names. I tried what you will see in the code but it is not working and my book is less then helpful when it comes to examples and/or knowledge on the subject. Though it could be too many hours spent trying to get it to work.
Imports System.IO
Public Class frmMemberList

Dim number As Integer

I just made my first .net website. I'm trying to use the following line of code to load a file from the current directory ( same diredtory all the web files are in). I get a error saying file does not exist
InstallFormTemp = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("installerform.html")
I copied the file to my c drive and chnage the line to
InstallFormTemp = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:installerform.html")
it worked, but now my site has to run a godaddy's webserver, so I cannot save stuff in the c drive, just my web directory.
How can I get My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText to read files from the websites current directory?

I need to load a large txt file that is in a fixed width format. There are over 45K lines, so speed is important.I need to load one of the fields into a dropdown box and have another field (label) display the text of another field in the related line.I could import the file to an access db if needed, but would rather not as i also want the txt file to update from a link on a regular bases. So having it in a DB would be more work to process that part.[code]
View 1 RepliesIn my dialog I want to prevent the user to browse freely in certain places (this is due to the fact that my application will be running in a terminal server environment). So I want to to limit the items that will be visible in the top combobox of the server. I want it to start with "My Computer" instead of the usual "Desktop". Furthermore I only want to add mapped network drives under "My Computer" so that the user won't be able to see any local resources.With Spy++ I have been looking around at what happens when a FileDialog starts.
So far I have found that for each item in the combobox CB_SETITEMDATA and CB_INSERTSTRING methods are executed. By using a hook to the combobox I am able to intercept these messages, but sofar I am unable to determine the exact contents of what is inserted, so I am unable to determine wether it is the "Desktop" item or not.I have also discovered that the "My Computer" node is only added at the moment that the combobox is expanded. So I would need a way to get a handle to "My Computer" and insert an item for it manually

I am on my second project. I made the mistake of trying to use my first project as a template thinking there was a 'Save All As...' which I found there wasn't.
I went through the whole project and now it is forcing me to use the folder names that everything is saved in from my first project and my professor wants the directories named a certain way.
If I try and change the names of the folders, then upon re-opening my solution I get errors because the directory has changed.
Is there a way for me to change the directory names and not have my program fall apart? Or re-direct it where to look after I change the folder names?
