C# - Get Path Of All Open Explorer Windows?
Jan 5, 2012I want to list all open Windows Explorer windows with their active path in a ListBox. The app should refresh the ListBox if the explorer window is navigated to a different path.
For e.g. two explorer windows are open. One is navigated to C:Windows and the other is navigated to D:Stuff. When the app it run, it adds C:Windows and D:Stuff to the ListBox. Then, the user navigates to a different folder in one of the open explorer windows like C:Windowssystem32. The app should then refresh the ListBox and list C:Windowssystem32 and D:Stuff instead.

Aug 7, 2011I've noticed that when you click on a web page in Windows Explorer, or open a file in general, and the default application to open it is internet explorer, ie opens and opens the file. However, when I tried this on my Web Browser it opened, but ignored the file and went on its usual routine. How can I get my Web Browser to open and open the file that was clicked on in explorer?

Feb 2, 2009I am trying to automate a process I do with a bank with vb.net. Basically I need to open a website and navigate through it (Automatically through the program obviously), enter a batch ID and enter a file path and name. For some reason when I get to the part where I need to enter the file name and path, it simply will not populate the text. I have attached a word document with screenshots and code. The only difference I can see, is that in the bank website's code the the input type for the file text is "FILE" rather than "TEXT" as it is for the batch id...

View 1 RepliesCreating A File Explorer Similar To Windows Explorer?
Aug 1, 2010I 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 RepliesVS 2010 Explorer Context Menu - Path Argument?
Nov 21, 2011I want to add an option to the explorer context menu that appears whenever a user right clicks on a folder or drive. So I add the following reg key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFoldershellMyProgramcommand
"(Default)" value within is set to:
C:MyProgram.exe "%1"
and all works fine for folders, the %1 gets expanded to the relevant folder path that the user clicked on. However, when right clicking on a drive (e.g C drive in My Computer) the fact that the path then has a trailing backslash seems to seems to mess things up as the backslash acts as an escape character and makes the last quote mark get passed in as part of the command line (and the backslash is removed completely).For example if the following command is called from a context menu generated by the user right clicking on their C drive: "MyProgram.exe" "%1" You would expect the final command line to be this:MyProgram.exe C:But what actually happens is this: MyProgram.exe C:" I can add a backslash in manually (e.g "%1") but then it works fine for drives and not for folders.
