View 1 RepliesGet Windows To Open The Credentials Dialog - Network Folder Security
Jun 2, 2009I have a treeview control which is being used to browse various folder on the users system drive. It can also be set up to connect network folders using UNC paths e.g "serverfiles". At the moment I'm getting a list of Directories by using My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectories however this obviously fails when the folder is password protected.
Is there a way that I can get Windows to open the credentials dialog as you would see in Windows Explorer and deal with the credentials side so then the user name & password is cached as well?

How To Use A File Opener Dialog And A Folder Browser Dialog
Jan 27, 2010I have an assignment due this week in which I have to make a app that has 5 buttons and a picture box. When each button is clicked it has to show the corresponding picture in the picture box, the fifth button closes the app.
I have the whole form set up the way it should be, but I have no idea how to write the code to make the buttons display the images and close the app.I have the images in a folder within the project folders.
I have yet to be able to find one, the one I found should how to do it using a file opener dialog and a folder browser dialog but that is not what I think my prof wants us to do, as that is more for a picture viewer app that lets the user choose the file of the image they want ot view.
All i want is for the buttons to be linked to specific photos that are part of the application itself and have them open.

View 3 RepliesFolder Browser Dialog And UNC Paths?
Jun 22, 2010I'm writing an app where a user selects a folder on the network for a job to deposit output into.The person setting up the job will not necessarily be the same person who runs the job and that the job will not be ran on the same machine so I need to keep the path in UNC format. I can get the user to "see" the network when the FolderBrowserDialog runs by pointing the route folder at the desktop folder.
The issue is that if the network share is local even though the user has selected the folder through the network folders it returns the local path!! Which of course means that when the job is run on the other machine it can not find the folder specified.
E.g. The user on machine1 selects the network share \machine1jobsmyjob but the dialog returns C:work2010JobsClientjobsmyjob. machine2 then runs the job and looks for C:work2010JobsClientjobsmyjob and can not find it then throws an error.
As you can see from the above example I can't just replace c: with the local machine name as the share may not be in the root of the drive. I did think about parsing the text and changing it to \machine1c$work2010JobsClientjobsmyjob but this would mean I'd have to allow all the users to have admin access to our servers which is a non starter.if there is a way to switch off this behaviour in the dialog?
dim myDialog as new FolderBrowserDialog
With myDialog
.Description = "Browse to Job destination"

Resize Folder Browser Dialog?
Mar 1, 2009I have an app that displays a folder browser dialog. Before displaying it I would like to set its size but I cannot find any methods or attribute that will allow me to do so, either in the object itself or any class that it inherits from.
The only solution I can think of is to use the SetWindowPos windows function. Before I go down that road, can anyone verify that it is not otherwise possible to programmatically resize the dialog?
If it's not possible, then in vb.net to use a windows library method, do I declare it like this:
Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long and use it, or does .net offer another way to access the windows library?

Folder Browser Dialog And GetFiles / Get Directories Method
Jan 28, 2010I have a program that uses the Folder Browser Dialog... I am currently using it to GetFiles and list them in a list box... Currently, it searches directories and subdirectories to get files with a specific patter. I would like to either have the files show with their paths, or return a list of the directories to work with later on... Using the Get Directories method I beleive it creates an Array but I am unfamiliar with how to manage the list it returns. I am also having an issue when the user selects cancel the code continues running for the get files method and throws an error.
