I would like a listbox to display a directory structure of a predefined directory in My.Settings.Directory and then be able to select a folder in that list box and click delete to delete the folder.
View 29 RepliesI'm trying to make a program that will list all the sub-directories in a directory then list all the files in a sub directory in another listbox when you select a directory from the first listbox, what I am stuck on is listing the folders.
Dim folderInfo As New IO.DirectoryInfo("c:windows")
Dim arrFilesInFolder() As IO.FileInfo
Dim fileInFolder As IO.FileInfo
[Code]....
This code lists all the files in a directory but not the folders, I want it to do the complete opposite.
I have it set so when button3 is clicked that the listbox displays the textfiles in a designated folder.[code]Now what I would like to have happen is a way for: Selected listbox2.item (A.txt, B.txt, or C.txt) read the selected textfile into Textbox1.text(I want to click on A, B, or C and have it just open/read that textfile into the textbox.)I have a feeling this is something simple - but for some reason I am having trouble grasping it.

i use .NET 08 for programming; i have old vb6 application to porting and the only think that i can't convert is moving fixed structure in string using movememory and copymemory.The request is: read a line of sequenzial file, this line is a fixed string concatenation; in vb6 i use movememory to move this string to a tructure with fixed lengh. Then i need the contrary, modify a structure and then move it to a string for writing to a file, in vb6 i use copymemory.
Here a litte example:
Public Type GenType

I'm working on a project and im at a point i just cant figure out.I have the user select a directory using a FolderBrowserDialog and it saves the path to a string (Dim strFolderPath as string) and i want every .exe in the folder added to a listbox, but im not sure how to do a for each or if thats even what you need to do here.
pseudocode (Might Help understand what im asking)
For each .exe in path strFolderPath
listbox1.items.add(exename)
[code].....
Dim sDirs() As String
Dim i As Integer
sDirs = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(txtPath.Text)
For i = 0 To 5
ListBox1.Items.Add(sDirs(i))
Next
Lists the first 6 dirs it finds.
But how can i get the last listed dir into a varible so i can use its location?
This has been irritating me for a good 2 hours now. I'm creating a simple application that takes each line in a listbox and creates a directory for each line. This seems so simple, but it's really annoying me. Once again, (just in case the above was confusing) I want to take ALL lines (each individual one) and create directories (folders) for each individual line in the listbox.

The idea is to click Button1, for it to open a browser window, then select 1 or more files from a directory and add them to ListBox1.Currently I'm using a very basic method that adds all files from a directory to my ListBox
Dim files() As String = IO.Directory.GetFiles("C:Users")
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
For Each file As String In files

We have a button, textbox and a folder browser... We made it so that when you click the button it shows the folder browser dialog.. And you choose your folder/path, then it shows the selected path in textbox.. We are succesful on this.. But now weve added a listbox, And when you selected the path it will do this..

My knowledge of VB.net is limited (only have been reading from the book)
so what i need to do for my project is to populate a listbox with files from a certain directory (C:folder)
then once it's populated, i can select an item and it will open up in a rich text box.
This is what i have so far for the active directory > list box:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktopfolder")
Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo

I want to add all image files in the current directory into my listbox1 when i press button1 Just like how u may open by OpenFileDialog or Drag & Drop but I want it to move all .jpg files in the current directory into the listbox so i do not have to use OpenFileDialog or Drag & Drop I am not sure how I can do this and the only code I could think about using is something linking to current directory.

what i did was create a list box and populate it with a directory ("C:Documents and Settingsuserfolder1")...
once the listbox displays the files from the directory, i want to select a certain file and that file will be opened up in a rich text box.What i found to display the directory in a listbox is:

Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = directory.GetFiles()

View 18 RepliesI am having problems with copying from one listbox to another and keeping the paths of the files in the listbox's. At the moment i have two listbox's, listbox1 shows the list of files without the directory paths showing. Listbox2 is used to add items from listbox1 which work ok but what i need is to be able to preserve the directory paths to each file. how to do this and have searched high and low for a solution without any luck.
I have worked out one way of doing it but i think there is a better way of doing it as the reverse does not seem to work. So basicly i want listbox1 to list the files without the paths and pass it on to listbox2 so that the files can be copied to temp directory as they are being add to listbox2.
Below is my

I have 2 listboxes on my form.Listbox 1 - populated with "available" field namesListbox 2 - populated with "selected" field names.There cannot be the same field name in both listboxes - it's either one of the other.The logic I was going to apply was to populate Listbox 1 with every field name ... and then as I populated Listbox with the field names which the user has already selected, remove the corresponding item from Listbox 1.

Where in Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition Software program do you specify a specific installation directory for a program?
c:Program Filesfinished program
I want to publish my program to try it out on another system and I want to ensure its installed in the directory structure I want.
I'm making an application that does some stuff involving the given subject, so this is very crucial to the completion and efficiency of my application.What I'm in need of today is simple (well, "seems" simple). I have one listbox that I want to populate with directories file's names. I don't mean the files inside the directories, but the names of the folders inside the directory.So, I have "c:empdog", I'd click on my button or whatever and search for the directory and I choose "temp", said listbox would show "dog".
UPDATE: Oh, BTW. It doesn't HAVE to be a listbox, it can be anything (IE: Textbox, Labels, Etc.).
