I've searched the forms and ran into a road block i think due to not really knowing what its called I'm searching for. Here is a simple explanation. I would like to add a button on my form that if selected will change the default application that a certain file type opens with.

I built an app in VB 2008 Express.I have published it by using the Publish tab of the project properties dialog. In other parts of the publish dialog, I have successfully associated a file extension (.xyz) with my app. To finally publish it, I click the Publish Now button, not the Publish Wizard.The app publishes fine, and after installing it by clicking on the resulting Setup.exe file, it runs fine. The app creates a .xyz file (essentially a text file). I then close the app. In Windows Explorer, I can see the .xyz file with my custom icon. When I double click on the .xyz file, my app starts up.So far so good.
Now I need to implement reading the contents of the .xyz file in my main form's load event.I thought it was going to be easy by following a snippet to read the command line, and with the knowledge that the filename clicked on is the first argument (item 0 of the argument collection).So I started testing like this:
Dim strMessage As String
strMessage = "Count: " & My.Application.CommandLineArgs.Count & vbCrLf
For Each argument As String In My.Application.CommandLineArgs[code]....
So, is the method I'm using to deploy considered Click Once? Note that I am not online-enabling anything, so I am hoping I don't need to get into the ActivationUri learning curve, which seems to be about URL's.How can I simply get the name of the associated file double clicked on into my VB.net app?
i've made a little app that opens .txt files kind of a replacement for notepad now i have set the install package in visual studio to associate .txt with my app however when i double click on .txt files my app opens but blank. so i'm assuming i've gotta code something to get it to open the clicked on file but.... haven't got a clue where to look for inspiration or code i can "borrow" and chop to fit my needs. i assume it's got to be in the load section of the program.[code]
View 6 RepliesMy 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.
View 4 RepliesIn Windows Explorer, when you open a ZIP file and double-click a file, say a JPEG file (.jpg), Windows extracts the JPEG file to a temporary folder, and passes the temporary file name to the associated program as the one and only argument, such as "C:UsersjpriceAppDataLocalTempTemp1_<>.zip<>.jpg"
I noticed that some applications, like the Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 7 know what ZIP file the temporary file came from. You can click next and previous and get the next/previous files from the ZIP file (as you do, they are also extracted to temporary files). I've googled and prowled through system.io.packaging, but I can't figure out how to get the path of the original ZIP file (the file name is part of the temporary file path). It's not done with the shell-->open command, Windows Photo Viewer only gets the temporary file name as far as I can tell.
The Photo Viewer command line is
%SystemRoot%System32
undll32.exe "%ProgramFiles%Windows Photo ViewerPhotoViewer.dll", ImageView_Fullscreen %1. I did use ProcessMon to watch Photo Viewer and saw it read the .zip file (probably using zipfldr.dll) but could not discover how it knew where the original zip file was.
I've noticed that when you click on a web page in Windows Explorer, or open a file in general, and the default application to open it is internet explorer, ie opens and opens the file. However, when I tried this on my Web Browser it opened, but ignored the file and went on its usual routine. How can I get my Web Browser to open and open the file that was clicked on in explorer?
View 1 RepliesI have a form with the FormBorderStyle set to SizeableToolWindow. The close button - 'x' in the upper right corner - sends a DialogResult of 'cancel' to the FormClosing event when clicked. How do I set it so that it will send an 'OK'?

So, when I Split the string with Comma, it gave me problem. Actually total it has 6 columns. But because of internal comma, it gave me 7 columns. And this CSV format can't change so I must deal with this problem. And so here I come out with a solution (because of its too long, I looking for better idea and solutions from you guys ):

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 3 RepliesIf I try to display a command line argument that has double quotes around, the double quotes are always stripped off. How can I avoid this?

After inserting an user control and double clicking on it, a stub with the default event should appear.
If I don't define what the default event is and I don't assign any attributes to any events or properties, it works, and it generates the stub for the UserControl.Load event (the default default event).
But if I set some attributes for the properties and events and/or I define the default event, the stub generated is corrupted. Here is an example of what I should get:
Private Sub FaceSelector_OnSelect(SelectedObjects As System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection(Of Object)) Handles FaceSelector.OnSelect
End Sub
And this is what I actually get: Private Sub SketchSelector_OnSelect( SelectedObjects As System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection`1)
End Sub
Private Sub FaceSelector_OnSelect( SelectedObjects As System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection`1)
End Sub
In this case I had 5 user controls, I double clicked on one of them, and I got 2 corrupted stubs.
Sometimes the corrupted stubs are generated when I change some properties of other controls in the form, or the form itself. For example I resize the form, the error window doesn't show any errors, hit F5 to compile and run, and get a syntax error.
I tried to track the problem down by removing each event/property attribute/xml description, one by one, many times I thought I found the culprit, but after 10 minutes the problem popped up again.
I am creating a webbrowser with Visual Basic, and I have finished everything but this: When I click on an external link, (I.E. On a photo, or on youtube) it opens up in a new IE window.
