VS 2008 List Box Simulating A File Browser?
May 11, 2010
I just started programming at my college and enjoying it a lot. So far only C++ and a few tutorials in VB 2008.I didn't want to stop there and wanted to keep going, but had no idea what to even try working on as I learn.After returning home from college for the summer, my family's business was in need of some program help.
We make Fence Chargers and we receive registrations of them on a regular basis. We write them down as they come in on a form. About once every month or two one of us sits down and types them into a text program similar to notepad, but was first designed to be used in MSDOS, but now used on a windows 98 machine.
(My Father started the business and practically ran it by himself since '96. We are keeping the MSDOS program, firstchoice, until we can use an easier program to keep the warranty registrations. (That and the label printers only work on that computer due to the printer port is going extinct.))
The process is simple. The user inputs the Serial Number, the person/place the owns it, when the registration was made, and optionally where it was bought. I've created a piece of the program that does that in each text field with not program and saves each registration as it's own text file. (Later I'll be adding in a feature to keep record of repairs for each fence charger. Simply, each registration file belongs to a unique charger where it saves the repair notes.)Up to this point I got done. The files are saved with no hassle. Four fields entered by the user, one text file comes out.I'm on the next step where the files are separated into folders of each fence charger model.Executable's location > Warranties > Model > Registration Files
The Second feature I'm working on is a bit of a problem for me. I may be looking at it the wrong way, or not seeing something.The Second feature is going to be a search and edit.The search feature I have not started, just yet, but the showing of files are working, but I want to have the ability to manually select a folder, refresh the list box to show what's in the folder. I got showing of one folder deep, but the next I know it won't work, but can't figure out how to allow it to extend deeper, at least one more folder by click. Then the ability to go back one.

I am creating a function and want to have IntelliSense pop down the list of valid options for a certain parameter in the same way that the MsgBox function behaves when you are typing your argument for which buttons you wish to include (such as MsgBoxStyle.OkCancel). I have done my best to search the internet but haven't found a thing which comes close to what I'm seeking. My monkeying around hasn't produced a satisfactory solution, yet, either.
A related additional thing, which I can live without but that would be nice to have, is the description of the current parameter, which appears below the function description as shown highlighted below MsgBox (Prompt As Object, [Buttons as Microsoft.Visual Basic.MsgBoxStyle = MsgBoxStyle .DefaultButton1], [Title as Object = Nothing]) AsMicrosoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxResult
Buttons: Optional. Numeric expression that is the sum of values specifying the number and type of buttons to display, the icon style to user, the identity of the default button, and the modality of the message box. If you omit Buttons, the default is zero. This is my first post. I'm relatively new to VB .Net.

I'm working with windows forms application in vb.net 2008 express ed. I used openfiledialog to open all types of files in the computer. When I searched on the web I found out to use the web browser control so I used it and it did open a file in any types. I realized about using a web browser control to open a file that all images such as jpeg, gif, and bmp as well as text files are just being opened or browsed within the control. All I want to do and all I want to know is I want to open all the files separately from the control just like opening with excel, word and all types of video files which will be opened separately from the control and your application because I am hiding the web browser within the form since this is a winform application. If this possible, How would I do that? I would like also to know if there's any way to open a file without using a web browser control? If there's no way, I just want to know how to modify my codes by throwing a message box if the user attempts to open a text files and images.

I would like for my program to navigate via textbox1.text with multiple lines and multiple url links inside of it. I know how to make the webbrowser1.navigate via textbox1.text with multiple lines, however I want my webbrowser to navigate to each url every 1-1.5 seconds once button1 is clicked. Yes, my webbrowser1 will navigate to the specified urls via the textbox1.text (multilines) with a button click, but I need the webbrowser1 to navigate in a order sequence from top to bottom of Textbox1.text (multiplelines) every 1 second. Here is the current code that I have to navigate via multilined textbox1.text control in order sequence:

I am using the Facebook Toolkit and making a request using FQL.Multiquery. I am using the following code which returns the correct data:
Dim query1 As String = String.Format("SELECT post_id, actor_id, target_id, message FROM stream WHERE source_id in (SELECT target_id FROM connection WHERE source_id={0}) AND is_hidden = 0", FBuserId)
Dim query2 As String = "SELECT pic FROM user WHERE uid IN (SELECT actor_id FROM #firstQuery)"
Dim queries = New Dictionary(Of String, String)
queries.Add("firstQuery", query1)
queries.Add("secondQuery", query2)
Dim result As List(Of Facebook.Schema.fql_result) = q.Multiquery(queries)
When I run this 'result' list is populated with the results of the two queries in XML but I am unsure how I can send this list to the browser in JSON. I am using asp.net MVC.

have a 2d array of structures that holds about 5 or 6 details on each cell. The array size will not be known at compile time so I am using ReDim to resize it. I also have a list (think I have it as an arraylist actually but shouldn't matter really) that I would like to hold a pointer to one of the 2d array elements (as well as some other info). The list is a much smaller subset of the 2d array. The reason I am doing this is that the list needs to be sorted based on some data in the 2d array that will be changing. I don't want to have to search through the list each time to update the values as these lists and arrays can potentially be very large.
Maybe there is a better way to handle this but even if there is I would like to know how to simulate pointers in VB.Net. I know there are IntPtr's and references that I could probably use but I have no idea how to do it with dynamic arrays of structures. I'm familair with pointers from C++ but this is the first time I have tried to use (or simulate since there seems to be no real support for them) in VB.Net.
Not sure how clear that was so here are some snippets of the data types involved and some initialization.
Code:

I use keybd_event and mouse_event to simulate keypresses. I want taht to still work when the user is switch (Xp supports several users as we know).
Well, it doesn't.
I've heard sendmessage is more reliable,.
I manage to simulate click easily.
SimulateClick2 = SendMessage(hwnd, BM_CLICK, 0, 0)
Now, how to do so to simulate keypresses?

I was just wondering how I could send commands to a tabbed browser. Such as navigation. I know of webbrowser1.navigate, but that will not work with the tabbed browser. I would also like to use an commands to automatically login. But I am not sure how I could do that in a tabbed browser either. Webbrowser1.document.getelementbyid does not work for this.

I'm trying to make a program so I can open a text file, take the information in that file, and organize it in a list, but I can't figure out how to do it exactly.In visual basic, how would I change this:
<NAME>Joe Somebody</NAME>
into:
Joe Somebody
I want to be able to ignore "<NAME>" and "</NAME>" and output "Joe Somebody" into the organized list, but I don't want it to work only with Joe Somebody. I want it to work with other names too. I also want to be able to edit that information, and export it the same way as the text file.
