I want to fill a listbox with file names of the specific extention. This is my code , does not work.
lstClips_ListBox.Items.Clear()
If Not FolderExists = My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(PowerPointDir) Then
MsgBox("This Directory does not contain any PowerPoint files" & vbCr & "You need to load the files now...", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Warning - No Media Found")

If i take away the DIR name and the Exten then it fills with ALL the file names, not what i want.

View 1 RepliesI have a few questions that are bugging me.
1. How can i get file names from a directory and put them in a ListBox? Not the full path to them?
2. Can someone explain how to make a program default to .lua openings?
3. How could i put an icon in the Notification area?
4. When a dialog is open, like options, how can i disable clicking of the main form?
basically, i'm creating a program that is saving text files based on user input.
another screen is then needing to transfer the saved information into textboxes.
to do this i want the saved .txt files' titles to shows in a listbox, and when each selection is made, the textboxes are populated with the information in the .txt files.
I have problem with Sorting ListBox in Visual Basic 2008. When I load names from some files (file's name is number_name like="156_blabla") and I need sort it by that number
It is:
1018_name1
102_name2
1026_name3
And I need it:
102_name2
1018_name1
1026_name3
This next program I am working on consists of 3 listbox's. The idea is to have the end user load names in the first and second list box. Then have a button's action when pressed combines the list in listbox1 with listbox2 then gives the output combination in listbox 3.
I also wanted to include some checkbox options such as adding a "_" or "." for every item.
Here is a thinking map of how I want it to work.
Listbox 1

I THINK I have seen a simpler way of doing this, however I can't remember how to do it... How can I get all the color names into a ListBox? This is the code I found on the web:

create a generic list of strings

View 8 RepliesThis is the code I have in one button and I have 2 listboxes that will be filled with the info it gets.This code should compare 1 avi file to one jpg file and see if they have the same name. If YES then it will add the avi path to one listbox. If they don't have the same name OR the .jpg doesn't exists it will add avi path to another listbox.. But currently it is adding the avi name to both listboxes.
View 6 RepliesI have a ComboBox with several names within it. The names are sourced from a database. Once the user has selected a name from the ComboBox, he must input the no. of hours from another ComboBox and then he is able save it to a .txt file through a streamwriter.
Here is a little image I just put together:I want the file name of the .txt file to be whatever is selected from the first combobox. So, by using the example shown above, the file would be called bob.txt. Is this possible?There shouldn't be any save file dialog or anything, I want it to be automated and the name of the .txt file to be selected from the ComboBox.
I am creating files and then allowing the User to browse through the files via a ComboBox. I decided to name each file the current date. In order to create multiple reports each time the application is ran, each report needs a unique name.
The idea is that if they run a report once a day they'll have a unique report each day. But, then I realized that it is feasible that User could run a report more than once a day. So, I decided to create an integer and increment it each time the report has been ran. Then append the file name with that integer. So, report one of that day would show something like this:
12-22-2009_1 and so on.And this works just fine. But, if the user decides to close the app and then run the report later that day, the variable has been reset and no longer works as needed.I'm using a StreamWriter to create the file.
The code I have is:
vb.net
Dim zipFiles(0) As String
Dim x = 0

I want the files names in a specific folder to show in a combox box. How can I accomplish this?
View 1 RepliesI need to send a switches and a filename to a command line application.First I'll need to get a collection of files that can range from 0 to an infinite amount.Then I can start the process with the correct switches. Normally, within the command line application, I would specify the specific filename and send it as an argument to the application.However, I'm not sure how I would do this. The names of the files have to be preceeded by a specific switch. I can't remember the switch right now, but we'll call it [b]-f[/f].[code]So, I need to figure out how to send all or each of the file names as an argument.

View 12 RepliesLets say we have an Access file in a well known path (i.e. "C:MyFolderMyFile.mdb"). That file does not have a primary key set on the table we are interested in . Is it possible to set one of the fields as a primary key (for example the "ID" field , which is also an AutoNumber data) ? And one more thing : I'd like to change the name of a field on that table . For example , lets say there is a field called "My Field 1" (note the space characters) and we want it to be renamed as "My_Field_1" . If it's possible , I'd like both these changes to be permanent in the data base file itself , not just in the imported DataSet ,

View 6 RepliesOkay, so the title was horrible. I know that. Here's what I'm trying to do:I have a lot of data that's coming from a database and being adding to a listbox. The data that's coming from the database is a unique ID, and a name. Is there any way I can make the item contain both the ID and name? I know I can append it, that's not what I'm looking to do. I need a way to be able to either get the ID, or get the name, while displaying them both.I have gotten as far as creating a class:
Class Item

View 4 RepliesHow would you go toBrowse Forums Users , collect all the users by NAME, display them in a listbox and when clicked go to their profile.
View 1 RepliesI don't usually use VB but now I must for an assignment. I would like to know if it's possible to change the display name for an object on a listbox. For instance, if I add to it a user defined class, there's a way to provide it's display name, instead of converting it to string and then add it.
This is what I have
Dim format As String = FormatOutput(object)
Lista.Items.Add(format)
I would like to have the same output, but instead add the object.
Note: if such is not possible, then how can I associate the list box selection to the actual object? Doing it by index is painfull, because I'm using linked lists (ie., instead of arrays).
Note 2: python has a __str__ method which is called by default when the object is cast to string. Is there anything like it in VB?
Ok here we go again, im a complete beginner to coding and have started with visual studio 2008 using the .net/vb libraries, as my first project i went with an emulation application, and it went great:So now i think its time to move onto a little more advanced tech's, so i added in a combo box and i want to change how my code works, and this is where my troubles are.To start of with the combo box, i have it added to my winform and have 3 items on it 'Action' 'RPG' and 'Sim' and i have made 3 .txt files in the projects root folder with the same names. What i want to have happen is when the user selects for instance 'RPG' from the combo box the items displayed in the listbox change to the contents of the rpg.txt file. After searching around for a few hours and no luck i tried this
