OpenFile Dialog Messing With Path

Jun 8, 2010

I am using vb.net 2003 and an Access database connected via Jet 4.0 OleDb. I have identified the location of my database using a relative path with [code]My program was working fine and I began making some cosmetic changes.I thought it would be a nice touch to add a PictureBox on the first form and allow the user to select the image that he would like to see when running the program.I added a menu item to "change the picture" and on a form added an OpenFile Dialog. I added code to capture the location of the selected file and used it to identify the image to be shown.I included a table in my database to store the file name and path which is loaded when the program starts.This all worked fine. I could change from picture to picture and the image would be updated each time in the picture box and in the database. I could access the database and perform all of the functions of the program.

That is as long as the image files that I selected were located in program startup directory. If I selected an image with the openfile dialog which was located else where then I could no longer contect to the database. I receive an "unhandled exceptions error". Below is the openfle code:[code]Can anyone help me with the proper way to get set up the open file dialog so that the results do not conflict with my database connection, or re-establish the connection?[code]

Reset To Startup Path After Openfile Dialog

Jun 8, 2010

I am using vb.net 2003. In my program, the user can use an openfile dialog box to locate the address of a image and use it to change the display. The name and path of the image is saved in a database. This image is then loaded upon startup. If the image is located in the start-up directory the image change and saving to the database works great. But if the image is located some where else the image change occurs, but the path of the database has changed to the location of the image. Since the database is not located there, I get an unhandle exception error. What is the code to redirect the program to my startup path?

Copying File From Openfile Dialog Box?

Sep 10, 2010

For some reason I can copy a file from a OFD box from anywhere other than my desktop.Could it be because I'm using the shell command and the file path contains spaces?I've declared the filepath as a variable. I know in a batch file you have to enclose names with spaces in "".

CODE:
Dim filename As String = "cmd.exe"
Dim p As System.Diagnostics.Process = New Process()

VS 2008 Messing With Progress Bar

Jun 3, 2010

Been taking a programming class in school for the last year and we haven't really done anything with a progress bar so I was curious to see what I can do with it. I found some basic code to see how it worked and I get it.[code]However, instead of having a fixed time, I want the maximum to represent the time it takes for something to be done whether it be loading a new form, searching for something, etc. I don't know if that made sense, but basically I want the progress bar to react accordingly to the time it takes to do something.For example, in this little test project I just want the progress bar to represent the time it takes to load form2. I believe you'd have to change the maximum. However, I don't know how to get Form2's load time to be able to put it in the progress bar's maximum.

When I click on English the form displays correctly, when I click on Spanish or French it makes the panels inside the form small and the controls within it small. It doesn't allow me to resize anything or more the panel

VS 2005 DGV Vert Scrollbar Messing With Listbox Position

May 16, 2012

Very simply, I'm positioning a small ListBox over a DataGridView column when the user right-clicks and selects "Show Distinct Values". This works fine until the vertical scrollbar of the DataGridView is clicked. Once that's done the listbox pops up all the way over to the left edge of the DataGridView. As confirmation of the problem I created a small app to test with.

Select A .ZIP Folder With FolderBrowser OR OpenFile DIALOGS?

Aug 12, 2011

I am unable to select a .ZIP folder with either the FolderBrowserDialog (FBD) or the OpenFileDialog (OFD). First off the FBD does not show any .ZIP folders when using it and the OFD does show .ZIP folders but I am not sure how to handle it's path. My question would be how can I handle the OFDs ".SelectedPath"??? I could easily obtain that info with the FBD "FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath", but it does not allow the selection of .ZIP folders.. So now I am trying to do the same thing with the OFD but there isn't any code for obtaining the ".SelectedPath". Here's some code that shows what I am trying to do:

Private sourcePath As String
Private destPath As String

Get The 'Progress' Dialog To Display Immediately After The 'Install Icon' Dialog Disappears?

Jun 4, 2009

I have a simple desktop application that uses a .NET setup project (.msi file) to perform the installation. On the first installation, everything proceeds in a timely fashion with good feedback for the user.The problem occurs when the user is installing the latest version of the application over an old version on their machine.There is an unacceptably long delay of about 60 to 180 seconds from the time the installer's 'Welcome' dialog [It's not the Welcome dialog, I've removed that from the Start section of the setup project and replaced it with a CheckBox dialog to ask if the user wants a shortcut on the desktop] disappears until the 'Progress' dialog appears. The user sees minute(s) of blank screen and thinks the install has stopped or failed.

In the setup project properties, I've got the 'DetectNewerInstalledVersion' and 'RemovePreviousVersions' properties set to true. So, I believe that while nothing appears to be happening, the installer is actually removing the old version. The 'Progress' dialog does not appear until the new version begins installation.I've been trying to either:

a) Get the 'Progress' dialog to display immediately after the 'Install Icon' dialog disappears

b) Show another dialog while the Uninstall is running to let the user know that the setup is still running and everything is OK.

I have been unsuccessful with both methods. I'm using VS 2008 SP1?
