Select File/folder In Namespace Extension In Windows Explorer?
Jun 9, 2012
I am having a namespace extension implemented, which is visible in "MY Computer". I want to write automated test cases to browse through the same. I am able to open the explorer window till the namespace extension. as -
Process.Start("explorer.exe", "shell:::{CLSID of my namespace }")
next I want to search for a particular folder name inside the window opened. For example if i give input as "temp", then my mouse should move to "temp" folder in the namespace explorer window. then I double click on the mouse's current position and enter that folder. next i give input as "doc1.doc", then my mouse should be able to locate & move to "doc1.doc" file. Also getDirectory or GetFile etc APIs won't work because I don't have a standard drive associated with my namespace & don't have a relative path either.

The code below is able to process a path such as, "C: est est.txt". And open its root, "C: est". But how would you highlightselect test.txt? Do I need to work with the windows shell specifically.

Dim item As ListViewItem = Me.ListView1.SelectedItems(0)

I 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?

I have a shell extension made in .NET that creates folders (think of it as a context menu New -> New Folder option clone) and uses a InputBox to input the name of the folder from the user. Instead I want to send the rename command on the folder to the already open Windows Explorer window. It should be just like how Explorer lets us name a new folder:
On searching, I found this : Windows Explorer Shell Extension: create file and enter "rename" mode. It says to use the IShellView::SelectItem function with the SVSI_EDIT flag. How do I do that with .NET?

The application I'm developing does some file management chores, such as renaming and deletion of files. I have noticed that often after a file is deleted via code, it is still shown in Windows Explorer although it doesn't exist anymore. A refresh (F5) solves this, however I wouldn't want end users to have to press F5 every couple of minutes when using the application.
Can a refresh of all open Windows Explorer windows be requested via code? Moreover, can the refresh be requested only for windows displaying a particular location? I've thought of getting all open windows, filtering them and then sending the F5 keystroke, however it sounds a bit like overkill. Any easier way to do it?

I am trying to write a script to set the focus to the folder view in Windows Explorer. Is there some sort of way I can find the folder view pane and set focus to it? A bit like finding a child window and setting focus to it using the Windows API functions.
[Code]....
Now I realise that you can't use the above functions to find parts of Windows but it just gives you the idea. If I could do it with API functions that would be fine otherwise I am a little bit limited because I am using a Visual Basic scripting type engine which I won't bore you with details of.

I have a winform application and this winform application has created few files. I want to implement "find target" function in my application to show those files. Those files located in a same folder. See the picture:Let's say that I have created few files in "C:Test" folder and this folder has this file: "C:TestFile1.txt". How to create "find target" functionality using VB.NET?

I'm killing myself and dehydrating trying to get this array to sort.I have an array containing directories generated by;Dim Folders() As String = Directory.GetDirectories(RootPath)
I need them to be sorted so they appear like in windows explorer in win7 / vista. -- numerically and alphabetically by folder names.The folder names contain both letters and numbers, sometimes letters only or numbers only.

I am new to programming. I wrote this simple code but it seemed not working at run time. I mean not selecting particular file extensions when I am selecting the particular radio buttons. By default each radio button is set to false on Checked property. Also there is no syntax error.

I want to copy files with a specific extension (for example .config or .exe). It should create a structure of nested directories, and then insert each file into a specified place in the directory hierarchy. Ideally I would just specify a parent directory for each file and a parent directory for each directory and it would build it.
I need any existing utility or batch file or power-shell script or C#/VB .Net code to perform this activity.

Assuming I have a folder structure like:
[Code]...
This works fine, unless I have Windows Explorer open and I'm looking at the 'MySubFolder' directory. Then I get an IOException The directory is not empty. - clicking OK dismisses this and then the folder structure is not deleted. Any thoughts on how I can get this to perform correctly (i.e. delete), even when running this code while having the folder struture open in Windows Explorer?

I have a number of very useful extension methods that I'd like to use in my Silverlight project.I've pasted the Module here [URL]The problem I'm having is that visual studio complains that the dlls my module have been written against have not been built against the Silverlight runtime.Is there an easy way to get these extension methods working in Silverlight?I'm thinking my main hurdle is getting IObjectSet and ObjectContext to run against the Silverlight run-time - perhaps there's another way to expose these methods that I'm not aware of.

I have searched for the past 2 hours to see if there is a control available that will mimic windows explorer. I realise it can be created using TreeView and ListView controls, but this is an incredible amount of work for something that I would have thought would already be available. VB 6 had the DirListBox and DriveListBox which would have made this easier but without the right click context menu
If I had to create this myself, how would I populate the right click context menu to mirror the options available by explorer?
If you look at CDBurnerXP or MagicISO, they have what I am trying to achieve, with the layout and a right click menu containing the same options available in explorer.

An application data file, created by my own VB program, is visible to read and save from that application, but is not visible from Windows Explorer or Notepad. The icon, visible from my VB program, shows a lock. How can I remove the lock and see the program with Windows Explorer. (I need to copy to a another computer to use in a workshop next week.)

My Program is selected as the default program in the registry for any RTF file that is double-clicked. I want my program to load the RTF file when I double-click it in windows explorer, however, I also have my program set up so that it always opens the last file I had open, which is stored in an INI file. I do not know how to detect that a file have been double-clicked in Windows Explorer within my program as it loads (FormMain_Load), and then load that file instead of the last file open.

When setting up the Ajax Control Toolkit's AutoComplete control, it creates an utoComplete.asmx and a AutoComplete.vb file. The AutoComplete.vb file automatically ends up in the App_Code folder. I was hoping to move all of these styled-classes into a separate namespace, but the compiler simply does not dig it. Is this possible, or must it be within the presentation layer to access the "Web" related namespaces?

I'm currently working on a script that uses an open file dialog to select a file and then send it to another folder.The open file dialog works fine, and I can store the filename/location fine in a variable. What I want to know is how to copy a user-defined file to a set directory. All of the stuff I've found requires you to know what the filename of the thing you're moving is.
