I am trying to select a folder in a very similar way that we do using "OpenFileDialog". I searched for different sites and did find something but all of codes were tweaking "OpenFileDialog" and selected files..... I have seen applications where the select dialog box does NOT show the "File Type" as well as the "Open" button has "Select" name on it. Any idea how to get such dialogbox?
View 8 RepliesI am having a funny problem with OpenFileDialog that I just cannot solve. Using VB.NET 2008 Pro.
Problem: I run my program and click the menu item associated with this OFD and the OFD opens fine. When I select a file and click OPEN the dialog disappears then reappears. I click OPEN again and it disposes itself then loads the proper file into a form. The same thing happens with the CANCEL button as well.
Question: How do I go about coding the OFD to open a file that has been double clicked on thus bypassing dialogresult.OK . I can't seem to find an answer to this.
im trying to make an application which on start ask the user to browse for a .lnk file Once the lnk file has been browsed,the application is shown and there are two buttons
1.Launch
2.Exit
When The Launch Button Is Clicked,The .lnk File which the user browsed to at application startup should open. On exit,well it just exits the application! and the openfiledialog should pop up only for the first time the user ever opens the application.the file path should be stored in a .txt or .ini or registry file so that next time he doesnt have to browse for it again..how would i go about doing this!Here is my code so far! Public Class Form1

How can I make a program so you click a button and select a File using a OpenFileDialog and click send on your computer and it will send the file to a different computer and then a SaveFileDialog will show asking where to save the file on the other computer. Oh ya I cant use WinSock or whatever becuase im using Windows Vista 64 Bit. I need it because I for some reason cant use printer sharing. It might be because im on A 64bit Vista Machine and I want to print a file off of a 32bit XP Home Machine.
View 6 RepliesSo I've made a program in VB 2010, and it has three comboboxes and a button to view. Now lets say my first combobox is "Type of website". The options are "search engines", "social networking" and "news". The second combobox values would depend on what the first combobox value is selected, like if it was "news" the options would be "technology", "uk", "us", and "world".
The third combobox would then use the values in the first and second comboboxes to give even more values, for example if it was "news" and "technology" the values would be "engadget" etc. Then the view button would open the selected website in an internet browser. How would I code this?
Lets consider a text file stored in

I'm trying to get the path of a file or folder and return it as a string.
I can get it to work with just a file using or OpenFileDialog or just a folder using FolderBrowserDialog. [code]...
I have a VB/C# .NET 2.0 project that, if possible, I would like to customize the OpenFileDialog box to select a directory rather than a file. The reason for this is because the FolderBrowserDialog is ugly and a pain for most of my users to navigate using.
I know how to filter extensions using OpenFileDialog, but is there a flag or variable I can set that will allow me to only show directories and select those directories that is built into .NET? And if not, what is a good third party dialog to use/where should I begin if I am to create my own?

View 3 RepliesI made a program (As usual) that plays media files using the ax.interlop.wmp.dll (windows media player). I also made a listview on the form that has gridlines. i have a problem with my mutiselect feature though. it just adds the same filename for every file, but in the amount files (Ex: if there is 8 files, it adds the name of the first one 8 times) i just want it to add every single filename to different rows, here is the current code that i have:
Sub openFile()
With OpenFileDialog1
.DefaultExt = "Mp3"
[Code].....
I've spent FAR too long trying to troubleshoot this simple operation.I want the user to select multiple files in an OpenFileDialog (called OpenFileDialog1), click OK, and then have the filenames display in a listbox (called ListBox1). When I run, the openFile dialog allows the user to select mutliple files. However, on clicking OK, the dialog repons allowing the user to select only a SINGLE file. Then, it throws an "outside of array" exception.

I use OpenFileDialog to select a file to delete. I use [code] to delete the file. Now if i click "ok" it will delete the file. ace one. But if I click "Cancel" i get an error. [code]

I'm making an MP3 Player using windows media player, I know how to use an openfiledialog to open a single file, But how do I use to to open a whole directory, Like of music files, And then add the file names into a listbox so they can just click on them to play them? I'd like to just use the title of the song like
Artist - Song title instead of like C:usermusicArtist - Song title.Mp3.
When I select multiple paths from openFileDialog in my listBox control enter only one path by try. This is probably because that I use OpenFileDialog.FileName. I wish to load all selected files in one time...but in this case Add(OpenFileDialog.FileNames) give me the value stringArray in same listBox. I suppose that maybe exict peace of code through ItemCollection which give me opportunity that I import all file path in one try in listBox control. It was interesting because how I may implementing matrix between openFileDialog and listBox..
View 4 RepliesI am trying to open a .csv file via openfiledialog and then display information on a datagridview...What would be some ways to approach this? I have tried reading the file, separating the values by commas and placing them in a string followed by placing the string into a list.

View 4 RepliesI am writing an application that will use a OpenFileDialog control that will read a text file into memory and later process it.
I do have the following filter: Text files (*.txt)|*.txt|CSV files (*.csv)|*.csv|Spaced Text files (*.prn)|*.prn|All files (*.*)|*.*"
When I navigate to my test folder that contains a single .txt file, I see that file. When I change the filter to *.cvs that files goes disappears because it has a .txt extension. That is good. But when I select All files *.* it does not re appear? Why and how do I make it appear.
I would like to open 2 and more files(txt format) through openfiledialog and display all content in richtextbox.

Let's say, when you click a button it just opens a specified .txt file and adds the data of it to a listbox. I mean automatically, without that file opening dialog showing?

this is probably pretty simple, but I've noticed that when trying to start the Windows Media Player (AxWMPLib), it takes the "player.url = path", and only then does the player's Play-button get activated. Thing is, I want to play sound files taken from the URL of a column in a database. And when clicking on that row, the mediaplayer should update, making it's play-button clickable.

View 1 RepliesIn vb2010 I started getting an error message because I was still using FileListBoxes from VB6 and now they supposedly aren't supported in 64 bit systems. So I am replacing those with ListBoxes. I got the images to load fine into the list box using the FolderBrowserDialog. but (see the snippet below), I want to filter for several image types, not just one or a generic wild card which would pull in even non-image filetypes. This language will only accept one extension wildcard parameter it seems:
(sp is a string containing the folderbrowser dialogue path)

Is it possible to limit the asp.net fileupload dialog to view only XML files?(Filer, .xml only)
Note: Not to check whether the extension is .xml, but to actually only let the user view xml files in the dialog.
How do you associate a filetype, for example ".tkoen" (idk..), to the registry without restarting Explorer.exe for updating the filtypes..in Explorer.exe..?
