Populate Listbox From Multi-select OpenFileDialog?
Feb 23, 2010
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 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"

I have a list box that is bound to a table in a database. It produces a list of companies. The user will then come along and select multiple companies that they want to view information about, and then they hit a select button which I'll display the company information (e.g company name, company site, address e.t.c) in a gridview underneath. However the issue that I am having is that it only displays ONE of the multiple companies selected and its always the top one. How I get all the companies to be displayed in the gridview?
I am programming in vb.net
<asp:ListBox ID="ListBox1" runat="server"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource11" DataTextField="compName"
DataValueField="compDataID" SelectionMode="Multiple" AutoPostBack="True"></asp:ListBox>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource11" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:IWSRiskAssessmentConnectionString %>"

I have a listbox populated with dates in the format of dd/mm/yyyy e.g. 12/03/1983, 06/07/1987 etc.. Could someone please post the code that I could use so that I could search the listbox to multi-select the dates that fall within a specific month (not year or day). So for example I might want to highlight all the dates that contain the month **/10/** (october). I'm really struggling with this.

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?

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?

Populate *multi-column* ListView with *simple* XML data?
View 2 Replies
Jun 14, 2011
I am trying to populate a multi-column listview from a file. I have gotten as far as reading the correct data from the file to an array and populating the correct columns with said data. However, sometimes the array will span multiple lines of data in the file and I need all of these matches to populate the listview but the code that I have now only populates the listview with the data from the first matching line. I have tried declaring the variables as listviewitems instead of strings, which allowed me to use listView.Items.AddRange(arr) but then all of the data appeared in the first column instead of spread across all columns like it is supposed to. At this point I am at a loss because I can only figure out how to either fill the first column with all data or fill all columns with only the first line of data. Here is the code that I have

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..

I currently know how to click a button on the application and when I click it, it invokes the OpenFileDialog Event or Object. After It Opens the Open File Dialog, I am able to select only ONE file from a location on my computer. After I click that Single File on my computer, I press the Okay or Open Button on the Open File Dialog, and then it adds that items to my list Box, knows as PlayList_00 and PlayList_01.
Here's what I got so far.
Private Sub addBTN_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles addBTN.Click
OFD.InitialDirectory = "C:Movies"
OFD.ShowDialog()
PlayList_00.Items.Add(OFD.FileName)

I 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.

I 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.

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?

Can a listview multiselect in the same way as a listbox can, when it is set to electionMode = multiSimple?for instance when the listbox is set to selectionMode = multiSimpleyou can just select any number of items in the listbut...with a listview you can only multi-select when you hold down Ctrl. As soon as you lift the Ctrl key and click on an item it de-selects everything and only selects the last one you selected

i have been given the task of making a small program in vb.net to have two list boxes. The first list box contains the data and the second one is blank, when you select the one bit of data from the first list box it can be draged and droped into the other list box. my task is to make it so you can select multiple bits of data from the first list box and all that is selected is draged over to the second one when you drag and drop it.

Is it possible to select an item in one listbox and then display the data of another listbox with the same indexed position? I am planning a project and this is something I would like to attempt but I haven't figured out how to do it.[code..]
I tried doing the above code but instead of displaying the listbox text the message box just returned false.
