I code to drag files from windows explorer to a listbox. The code works in XP and Vista, but not Windows 7. In Win 7
Private Sub ListBox1_DragEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles ListBox1.DragEnter e.Effect = DragDropEffects.All
End Sub does not respond.
The following website appears to show you you might do Drag/Drop that works like explorer does but I don't know what the code would be in VB, what exactly i'd need or anything else. It's a quite large code base just to make it so you get the same effect as explorer even though it seems to be API's or .dll's that should handle most of the work.
If the API's & .dll's available for this don't handle most of it I don't see why not because well if your meant to get the same effect why is it going to be handled mostly by code? I would think it would be as easy as passing an image or file/folder as string & then there the image is & possibly the functions you want to be allowed or text to be displayed for the drag action & then a little more to determine where your trying to drag to so what the text should be changing to.
Anyways heres the website which has a lot of the information/code in non-vb language, even when translated to VB using online tools I couldn't figure out what did what or what pieces I needed to get a basic drag action to work that has said visual information like explorer does.[URL]..

how to Total Folders and including files from Windows explorer into listview using drag & drop method at vb.net
View 3 RepliesI've been sporadically going back to over the course of a few weeks and am unable to resolve. In Windows 7 (I'm using the 64 bit professional edition) I am unable to drag and drop files. I know the code works as I've been using the application on a 32 bit XP for ages.I've set the allowdrop property for both the main form and the status strip.[code]I've knocked the UAC settings down a notch and this doesn't do anything either. Interestingly, it's not even showing any of the dragdrop effects when dragging files or outlook emails into them.

I have a .net Windows Service developed in VB.net. I have a settings file in the root directory called Connections.XML and I am setting the basedirectory [code]...
When I schedule the service this is working absolutely fine in my Windows XP machine. But when I installed the same service in our development server (Windows 2003 64 bit Server) for some reason it is not able to locate this file.
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?

View 4 RepliesI am trying to make my application run on Windows 7 X64. The application runs fine, however the explorer process keeps crashing after i started or ended the application. Explorer crashes mostly on right mouse button clicks. This gives me a feeling there are pointer problems / mem overloads with the application Application CPU is set to X86, i ran into debug mode with stack traces no serious issues found. I am using a couple of Api's and i know there are rules regarding WOW64 mode however they are really unclear. MSDN doesn't supply the information i need. The information supplied only raishes more questions lol.

I 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.
I want to catch the event of deletion, renaming or copying a file in Windows Explorer. For example, if a folder contains the files "test.a" and "test.b", and that I remove "test.a", then my program will remove the two (same for copy and rename).I know how to add an entry to the context menu of Windows. But the goal isn't to add functionality to Windows. The goal is to redefine an existing function.
View 2 RepliesI wrote a program that runs in the background and waits for me to hit a predefined key combination.
When I hit this key combination I want it to do the following
Check and verify that Windows Explorer is up If IE open, I want it to get the current/active windows explorer screen directory.
So lets say I had windows explorer opened to "c:\program files(x86)\my Folder"
Then when I press my key combination "shift+t" my program will get the directory of my windows explorer.
So it should display a message saying something like "Active Directory: c:\program files(x86)\my Folder"
