VS 2008 OpenFileDialog - Restrict To Initial?
Oct 18, 2010
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.

I am working on an assignment, so need to pass the file to the instructor. I thought I remembered a way to input a placeholder character(s) that tells the computer that the path is flexible until the point where I declare the actual path.
For example: if the directory is C:documentsMyProjectinDebug on my machine, and is F:usersownerclass assignmentscis101StudentAMyProjectinDebug on the instructor's machine, can I put a "wildcard" type of character that points to the ...MyProjectinDebug file that will work on both machines in the Initial Directory property?

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 want that it is not possible to type anything in a textbox, but i do need to place something in it. This is my temporary
Private Sub textbox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles textbox1.TextChanged
If textbox1.Text = Nothing Then
Else
textbox1.Text = Nothing
End If
End Sub
But in this way I cant place anything either. I want only that it is not possible to type something in it.

how do you restrict letters from being entered into a textbox?I know it invloves textbox_TextChanged but i don't know who to do so.
Edit: I figured out that Letters(25) = (a b c etc...) can be used but how to not enter the letter? Uhm.. Like, the user enters "a" and the program recognizes it using an IF statement. How will it NOT enter the letter into the textbox?

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?

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.

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

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"...

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.

I'm writing a forms application. I'm adding a piece that allows you to double click on a row of a datagridview control to open a new form with more details. These additional details are pulled from a database, which takes a bit of time to finish.If I run the DB query from the form's load event, the form doesn't show up until everything in the load event has completed, which can take several seconds.I want the form to show up instantly when you double click, and all of the fields to be populated once the data is ready.Is there an event I should be using other than Load?
