VS 2005 Getting Program Name?

Aug 17, 2010

As the title says, I'd like to know how I can get the program name but from an extension OR the "Open With: (program)" information.A kind lad here has advised me on using the registry which contains details of all default applications but I've no idea how I can go ahead of that. I've tried searching and using almost all properties of FileVersionInfo but it doesn't seem to work for me.

Right now, what I'm trying to do is to select a path from OpenFileDialog and use Button1 to launch the executable path. However, at the same moment, I'd like to take down the program used to launch the executable path.

Meaning, if the filename is Index.ppt, I would want to record in a textbox that the Program Name is Microsoft Office Powerpoint instead of the usual Index.ppt.

The only way I think is possible is by retrieving the information from the "Open With: (Program)" row in the Properties panel of the file but there seems to be no way of getting it. So any help possible? (:

EDIT: FileVersionInfo.FileDescription property only works for default programs(e.g.QuickTime Player / Microsoft Office Word) and not any subs for it so that won't work in this case.

VS 2005 Opening A Program From A Link Or Sending Arguments To A Program?

Sep 14, 2009

I want to have a link in an email with an ID number. Then, when the user clicks on the link in the email, it either launches my program, or brings the program to top, depending on whether it is opened or not, and then loads the record for that ID number from the link (the software is a record lookup tool).If I can figure out how to "send" the program the ID, I can figure the rest out.

VS 2005 Improve The Look Of Program?

Jan 27, 2011

I'm currently writing a football management game (Australian football) and would like to pretty it up a bit. The match engine simulates each player as a small circle, much like the old Championship Manager games. While I'm fine with this style, I'd like to improve the look. I'm just using the simple graphics tools in VB to draw circles and the oval in the background which they play on. They move around using a timer. It just doesn't look very good. The movement isn't smooth and the circles look jaggy and unprofessional. Given that I'd ultimately like to release this product, I want to make it look a lot better.

What are some 2D graphics engines that I should look at? I don't need fancy animations or anything, just some nice smooth movement and nice looking circles. Doesn't seem like I'm asking for much does it? It'd be also nice if I could add in a chrome-like look or something along those lines.

As for the menus and such, well, they are currently just the boring grey VB style. That's fine for now but, as mentioned earlier, I want to release this game at some point. How can I change all of the menus and such so that this doesn't look like a game made in visual basic...basically. I've seen skins before but I'm not really interested in giving my game some generic style. I want to be able to customize all of it for myself. I just don't know how to! Simply fiddling with the colours and fonts of the default VB controls isn't enough.
