View 2 RepliesI'm trying to put a filter in the OpenFileDialog that makes it only show files with the extensions .REB and .MRG.
This is what I have but it isn't working: OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "MRG and REB Files (*.MRG;*.REB)|*.MRG;*.REB"
I'm using windows 7 (if that even makes a difference).
I'm using this code and the dialog is still showing all files.
vb.net
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Word Documents (*.doc)|*.doc"
Is it different for the 4.0 framework?
I have no idea why my OpenFileDialog Filter String is NOT working as expected?

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 have an application that opens the file location of a running process, however when the process is located in a large folder like system32 it just opens at the first item,

View 1 RepliesI have in my form 2 RichTextBox , one Listbox , one OpenFileDialog and one Button . In those 2 RichTextBox I would like to load two (*.RTF) FILES .
Application Steps :
1- When I click the button , an OpenFileDialog open .
2- I choose those two files (*.RTF) and when I press the OK in OpenFileDialog, the path of those two files are written in the ListBox as Items.
3- After getting the path of those two files , I would like to load them into those two richtextboxs .
The problem is that I don't want to specify the richtextboxs names in order to load the files . What am I saying ? I.E : I don't want to use that code : "RichTextBox1.Loadfile(Listbox1.items.item)" When I debug my application : everything goes well , only when the listbox items are loaded in the richtextboxs control I get only one file loaded on those two richtextboxs. Right Now I have written these codes :
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "RTF Files (*.rtf) |*.rtf"

When I select multiple paths from openFileDialog in my listBox control enter only one path by try. This is probably because that I use OpenFileDialog.FileName. I wish to load all selected files in one time...but in this case Add(OpenFileDialog.FileNames) give me the value stringArray in same listBox. I suppose that maybe exict peace of code through ItemCollection which give me opportunity that I import all file path in one try in listBox control. It was interesting because how I may implementing matrix between openFileDialog and listBox..
View 4 RepliesI am working on a project which use files with a .HRZ extension. These are image files with a simple red, green, blue, red, green, blue structure. There is no header of any kind. I know how to display these files in a picturebox or convert them to a bitmap, but of course Windows 7 does NOT know what they are, so just shows a blank icon in the OpenFileDialog. How easy would it be for me to add support for this file format to Windows and/or the OpenFileDialog so I can show a thumbnail of each file? I can create my own file browser but I would really like to use the OpenFileDialog if at all possible.
View 3 Repliescould someone give me a some sort of clue about opening nonexistant files in VB.NET?? I am learning this as I go, and I can open existing files using the OpenFileDialog box, but I cant not find an real explanation on how to create a file if it is not in existance... in other words, I want to know now to code so that when a user enteres a filename in the filename box in the OpenFileDialog and that file does not already exist then the file is created as a new file, and then opened. I have done some googleing and found all sorts of examples on opening existing files, but nothing that really gives a good explanation of how to create a new file and then open it...

im trying to make an application which on start ask the user to browse for a .lnk file Once the lnk file has been browsed,the application is shown and there are two buttons
1.Launch
2.Exit
When The Launch Button Is Clicked,The .lnk File which the user browsed to at application startup should open. On exit,well it just exits the application! and the openfiledialog should pop up only for the first time the user ever opens the application.the file path should be stored in a .txt or .ini or registry file so that next time he doesnt have to browse for it again..how would i go about doing this!Here is my code so far!

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?

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.
View 7 RepliesIf 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.FileName = ""
If dlgZipFile.ShowDialog <> Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then Return False
How would I get the filename from OpenFileDialog and put it in TextBox? I dont want the full path.
