I just installed XP on my computer and a fresh install of VB 2005 and opened a project I have been building The OpenFileDialog. does not have the SafeFileName?If i go back to my Win 2000 its there I have XP on another machine and its there?What am I missing? Anyone expererience anything like this before? Perhaps something with my install of VB or XP?
To explain this, I can only use example. Let's say, I choose Index.doc on my openFileDialog. However, as you know, on the Processes tab under Windows Task Manager, it will display WINWORD.EXE. So how can I get WINWORD.EXE to display on a label / textbox / any readable tool after opening Index.doc? Perhaps this code snippet can get you a clearer understanding of my current code.
I have a file called test.dat and for my OpenFileDialog I have:When the dialog opens, it looks correct, but when I choose DAT Files (*.dat), test.dat isn't shown.
I have a coding to let user select 2 files to import:
------------------------------------------------------------------- Private Sub btn_Browse_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdBrowse1.Click On Error Resume Next OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Lis files|*.lis" OpenFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1
[code]....
But if user click cancel button at Browse2 button, the system will paste the value from Browse 1 to Browse 2 text box.How to do nothing if user click cancel button at OpenFileDialog?
I have files that start with unique numbers and are word documents. Say the document starts with "1234567" is there a way to make the OpenFileDialog filter to where only all the .doc files that start with "1234567" show up?
I am trying to create this program to print out a certification for each employee from a list of employees... The problem is that I can't seem to get it to work correctly with using the openfiledialog form...
Option Strict On Option Explicit On Public Class MainForm
My users need to browse to select a file and then save it to a different location. Here's my code I've got so far - it incorporates the OpenFileDialog to open the file and the SaveFileDialog to save the file. When the code goes into the OpenFileDialog portion, it works great....the initial directory is set to "C:" This is where the user will select the file they want to save to another location.
ApplicationName has stopped workingA problem caused the program to stop working correctly.Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Here is my code: Private Sub OpenFile() Dim OpenFileDialog As New OpenFileDialog
I am trying to open a file, and turn it into text in a rich text box. How can I do this? I have the dialog open, but I am not sure how to make the file I open to work with a rich text box.
This is my first post on dreamInCode, Is it possible to browse and select a file on a server share, but I need it to return the UNC path. e.g. if I select F:\sharename\filename.txt, it will work out the share path on the PC and show the actual Path.\\servername\sharegroupName\sharename\filename.txt
The reason for this is that some users have different share drive letters.
ok, So I can call on the open file Dialog so it can be used. The problem comes when I want to put it to actual use. The idea is that the user pics an image from there "directory" and then it displays in an image box (which is already there) so, how would I use the open file dialog to locate the image and then display it in the image box?
I'm experimenting with adding WPF to my Forms project. As soon as I add the PresentationFramework I get an error for the code block below, stating that
"Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Boolean?' to 'Integer?'"I understand what the error is saying, just not WHY! So, how should I be doing it with WPF included?
I don't have any problem with the OpenFileDialog provided I set the .InitialDirectory to somewhere or other on my machine.However I just can't set the .InitialDirectory to a URL even as "http:localhost/..." ie my machine.Is there some way of getting the OpenFileDialog to see Network Drives, URLs, etc?
I have a winform, VBExpress 2008 with a single button and this code behind it to illustrate the problem:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() MsgBox(OpenFileDialog1.FileName) End Sub
Can files selected in an openfiledialog be dragged and dropped into a listbox in my form app?(in VB 2005 Ex ?)(in VB6 ?)(in VB.net?)PS: I got the multiselect to work in openfiledialog, but you have to press Open to populate the listbox. I want to drag and drop.
I want to set a time limit over openFileDialog window, if, for example, 10 seconds elapsed without any user input, it will be killed automatically, how to implement that.
I can't display the application name that I've chosen using openFileDialog. In this case, I'm not referring to the FileName where it displays the full path. I just want the last segment of the FileName, which is the targeted application name.[code]...
I want to save the directory that a user chooses when they open a file with the OpenFileDialog. I currently have
FileDir=My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory
after the open dialog, and this works ok in Windows XP. But on Windows Vista this seems to give the Application (.exe) directory, whihc is not what we want.
When the user selects a file it should add a item with the name of the file to a listview. But when the user selects multiply files it just takes the name of the first file, so all items get the same name.[code]...
I'm revamping a program and am having a bit of trouble. See I was using StreamReader in my last program. The user had to type the path and file into a textbox to get the program to load the information it needed. So I wanted to change that and use a OpenFileDialog method.
I got the open file dialog method working but the 1st step before I go anywhere else with this program is getting the path to the file that was opened as it is needed to load images within the same folder.
I am using this example to open a text file. It works. Imports System.IO Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal ByVale As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim FileReader As StreamReader [Code] ..... The form is made of Button1 and TextBox1 in multiline form and OpenFileDialog1 is inserted in the form. How to force a desired path so it will start in there instead of the default directory of the project?
