With many of the programs that I use, I have noticed that the file dialog boxes automatically enter a new folder (if I create a folder thru the dialog box). But my OpenFileDialog boxes don't do that in my programs.When I open the OpenFileDialog and press the New Folder button, the box stays in the current directory and I am forced to click into the new folder. I have researched the OpernFileDialog and I don't understand how to change this behavior. I want to eliminate this extra click to enter the new folder.
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 need a quick way to control an external application. For example, I want to be able to... let's say... click a button and open up paint and zoom to 200%. This isn't my intention but that's basically the functionality that I need. I figured there must be a simple way to do this. I need to open the application, make choices (not all have keyboard shortcuts) and type in information.I've come across "shell" but that doesn't get me anywhere except opening the application.
I have done a search on Google but not really found anything. Worst case I suppose I could use "powercgf.exe -l" to list them modes then try to get the GUIDs out of that.
My form contains a datagrid and a checked listbox. The listbox is populated on the form_load event. There's a function called when the datagrid's SelectionChanged event is triggered that modifies the checkmarks in the listbox. It all works fine when I manually click on any item in the datagrid.
However, the very first time the form runs, the checkmarks are not affected, even though the first item in the datagrid appears selected. I discovered that this is because the actual listbox is not yet populated on the form at the time the very first SelectionChanged event is triggered. So when the function tries setting the checkboxes, it doesn't get anywhere, since it doesn't see any items in the listbox.
Somehow the datagrid is getting populated, even before the form_load event is triggered. I need the listbox to be populated before the datagrid is populated, but I have no idea how to control this.
I have a TextBox called Social. As you type in a Social Security Number into the textbox, it formats itself into the standard Social Security Number Format (XXX-XX-XXXX). It automatically adds in the dashes after the third and fifth number, or corrects/removes the dashes if numbers are added or removed from in front of the dashes. Also I coded the script to record the caret's location so that the caret goes back to where the caret was before the adjustment in dashes.
I used Pos and PosHold to hold the caret's location.
The problems I am having are:If I remove a number before one of the dashes, the caret is reset to '0' from using break points, it seem to jump out of the if statement before setting the location of the caret. Sometimes when a number is removed from before the dashes, the dashes are removed like scripted but, the dash is not put back in the correct location. This seems to happen primarily if you have numbers passed the second dash.
Social_TextChanged Private Sub Social_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Social.TextChanged
I'm having a lot of trouble finding a solution to my problem, and its probably because I don't know exactly how to ask the right question - can anyone here point me in the right direction?
I have VS 2008 and am working in VB.Net forms.I have a webbrowser control where I am trying to control input fields that are dynamically created. If a text field has proper handles such as id and name tags there aren't any problems.
For example, I am trying to work with twitter for posts. I know twitter has an API but I want to work with many similar systems and want to avoid the API as its case specific and I want to scale things within the VB.Net form. The login fields for twitter are easily handled, however the posting field once your logged in is just a text area with a class. There is a tagname but I have been unable to post using the tagname element.Any examples of posting to twitter without the API ?
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?
If I am in Word and I say File Open, it displays files of type All Files. If I have a Compressed Folder in the current location, I can right click on that folder and Extract All. Then if I extracted a filetype that Word can read, I can click on the file I just extracted and opened this is Word. All from saying File Open. I want to replicate this behavior in my .NET code. Maybe I am missing a property when I create my OpenFileDialog, but if I right click on the same file as above, I do not get a context menu that will let me Extract All.
This is my .NET Dim dlgZipFile As New OpenFileDialog dlgZipFile.Title = "Please navigate to the location of the input file" dlgZipFile.InitialDirectory = "C:ProjectsFiles" dlgZipFile.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*" dlgZipFile.FileName = "" If dlgZipFile.ShowDialog <> Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then Return False
I want my user to only be able to open files in the initial directory that I set on OpenFileDialog. I have googled a bit and found you cannot restrict, but that was information from a few years ago and I'm not sure what version. Has this control changed at all in VS 2008?
My application is handling it okay if the user does navigate out, but it would be more concise if I could prevent him from doing so in the first place. And the fact that I have found others who wanted to do this also, makes me think it might be a nice property to have built in.
The problem I am running into is the OpenFileDialog box. I am allowing the user to pick an image and I want to save the image location into a column in the database(this isn't the problem), I know how to get the image location and save it...The main problem is this. Each time I open up the "OpenFileDialog box" and choose an image, it remembers the last location used, but after the image is chosen, the program looks at the images location as the spot the database is...To sum this up: Each time I use the "OpenFileDialog" and choose an image, the program looks at the images location for the database instead of in the "Debug folder" (which is were I put the database) So i end up getting an error that it can't find the database. Everything usually worked fine until I used the "OpenFileDialog"...
I'm creating an MP3 player. I have a listbox and OpenFileDialog control. I want to load an mp3 file in the listbox but I only want the file name to show rather than the whole file path, how can this be done?

This is my code at the moment. I want the TextBox to show the Directory of the file. (C:Documents and SettingsUserDesktopFile)
This is my TextBox Code
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged Me.Text = OpenFileDialog1.FileName End Sub

Let's say, when you click a button it just opens a specified .txt file and adds the data of it to a listbox. I mean automatically, without that file opening dialog showing?
I am having a funny problem with OpenFileDialog that I just cannot solve. Using VB.NET 2008 Pro.
Problem: I run my program and click the menu item associated with this OFD and the OFD opens fine. When I select a file and click OPEN the dialog disappears then reappears. I click OPEN again and it disposes itself then loads the proper file into a form. The same thing happens with the CANCEL button as well.
Question: How do I go about coding the OFD to open a file that has been double clicked on thus bypassing dialogresult.OK . I can't seem to find an answer to this.
I am writing an application that will use a OpenFileDialog control that will read a text file into memory and later process it.
I do have the following filter: Text files (*.txt)|*.txt|CSV files (*.csv)|*.csv|Spaced Text files (*.prn)|*.prn|All files (*.*)|*.*"
When I navigate to my test folder that contains a single .txt file, I see that file. When I change the filter to *.cvs that files goes disappears because it has a .txt extension. That is good. But when I select All files *.* it does not re appear? Why and how do I make it appear.
Question: I want to control cmd.exe from winforms. I DO NOT mean every command in a single process, with startupinfo, and then stop. I mean for example start the (My) SQL or GDB command prompt, send command, receive answer, send next command, receive next answer, stop SQL command prompt exit process. Basically I want to write a GUI on top of any console application.
Ok, so I've been doing some looking around lately, trying to figure out how I can get maximum control over a download. So I can control things like:Download speedWhere to start the transaction(Byte Offset, like in a Stream?)Where to end the transaction (Byte Offset, like in a Stream?)

I want to have a min and a max functionality to my app. When the user clicks the minimize button I want the form to go to taskbar which is easily done.
However the user clicks on the maximize button i want the form to go to a specific size (470,999) to be exact.
Private Sub app_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Resize If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized Then
[Code]....
but it maximizes to the screen size. how to control the maximize screen button? I don't want to change the formborder style setting from sizeable because I like the way it looks like this. I just want to get the min max buttons to go to sizes that I want them to go to.
another thing is there a way to save the size of the app that the user has it set to before they send it to taskbar then when the user brings it off the taskbar is there a way to bring it back to that size?
I was working with TabControl on a form.I wish to restrict the selection of the tabs on the form...For example, The user will start with the 0 index Tab selected by default.As he selects an option from that tab pane n confirms his selection, The next tab gets selected. I could develop a code for this like this tabcontrol1.selectedindex = 1 'Or 2 or 3 according to the need But Now I find that at runtime I can switch back to some other previous tabs or some forward tabs.... Which I do not want. I simply want the tabs to be activate in a flow...
