I want to make 2 dynamic comboboxes; The first will list all the hard-drives/thumb-drives etc, the second will list all the CD/DVD drives.Beneath each combobox there will be a set of buttons that control the selected drive:Beneath the hard-drive combobox there will be two buttons: one is "open" (will open the select drive in explorer) the other is "remove" (checks if the selected drive is removable and if so safely removes the drive).Beneath the CD/DVD combobox there will also be two buttons: one is "open" (will open the drive's contents, if present, in explorer), the other is "autorun" (will execute the autorun for the disc).
I'm trying to get a list of current hard drives (that part is done), but then go through the list one by one and remove those that have no size (dvd drives for example). I'm sure this is horribly wrong (4 errors are shown in the list). Could someone give me a hand?
Here is what I have so far:
ComboBoxHD.Items.AddRange(System.IO.Directory.GetLogicalDrives) Dim dInfo As New System.IO.Directory For Each drive As System.IO.Directory In dInfo.GetLogicalDrives()
I have a small app and i want to display the data (prices) from some hard drives from some site's. I use this code
Dim PageElements As HtmlElementCollection = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("img") For Each CurElement As HtmlElement In PageElements TextBox2.Text = TextBox2.Text & CurElement.GetAttribute("src") & Environment.NewLine Next
I was recently pursuing code that would allow me to read machine text off an image. The text will only consist of characters a-b, 0-9 and a few special characters (+,=,-,@,&). I have pursued a few third party OCR controls however all require licenses to be fully functional, would anyone know of any third party OCR controls that does not cost anything? If not is there anyway i can build my own OCR control that will read machine text?
Recently I've started experimenting with Visual Basic 2008, and just out of curiosity am trying to password protect my flash drives. (At the school I go to, it takes a couple seconds for things to disappear). So, I've got it to the point where I can have multiple "accounts" with their own passwords, ive got a lost password button, and a bunch of other stuff. But, anybody can just click out of it and go into the folder themselves, so I've been looking for a way to lock the focus on my password box. I've looked for hours and have found a lot of things that keep the focus on like a second form, so you cant go back to the first one, but I was still able to launch applications and things because the desktop was still active. I still haven't found one that keeps the focus locked on the first form and nothing else.
Im beginer for programming vb. show list folder on drives. for example, I have a form (listbox and button). If I click the button, the listbox will show list folder on drive C.
I'm quite new to vb.net and I was trying to develope something that can activate/deactivate the Optical reader at startup, so I wrote:
[Code]...
but obviously it's not that simple, I read I need registry permission not to have access denied to the specified key, I imported the system.security.permission namespace and I tried some constructors but without any results...anyone can point me to the right procedure?
I'm stuck at the moment gents, and would like to ask I have a registry value (reg_binary): B7 59 C4 4A I know that this value contains a Date and a Time, you guessed it
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim strFileSize As String = "" Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:")
[code]....
and it works just fine. However, saying that, i need to find a way to loop through ALL the directory's on the "c" drive and not just the main folder.
i would like to know how locate the hard disk in a computer. For exemple I have 2 hard disk : C: and E: I would like to locate them and list them in a textbox for exemple.
PHP Dim searcher As ManagementObjectSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_PhysicalMedia") For Each wmi_HD As ManagementObject In searcher.Get() MessageBox.Show(wmi_HD("SerialNumber")) Next I am using this code for getting hard drive serial number its works ok with me but not working on my friends system and return an empty string.
I wrote a program that can kinda of read Docx files. I can extract the text of the file and the metadata that word puts in the file not the stuff you see when you write click and go to properties. I Can extract and view that data I'm working on making the subroutine (i don't know if its an algorithm there is no math.Anyway I want this to be a forensic program where it will scan the whole hard drive and add all the docx files to a listbox. I found this code
Dim file_names As ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) Dim directory As String = "c:" Dim searchFor As String = "windows"
[code]....
but some folders that where hidden like $inplace they were left over from my windows 7 upgrade. they cause it to crash. is there anyway to be able to scan every folder on the PC. I tried launching the complied .exe by right clicking and hitting run as admin but it still crashed when i executed that code.
My Dad made an application which had a feature that i want, basically his programme reads the users hard drive serial number and then multiplies it by say 12 and then divides it by 7 for example. This number is then shown as a 'Authorisation Code' which the user has to email to him and then his breaks it back down to the original hard drive serial number which he sends back which is the application serial number to activate it. I want to know how to read the actual hard drive serial number or a number that every computer has so i can do the same but i have searched everywhere and cannot find any examples for VB 2008 apart from one which didn't work
I don't have any problem with the OpenFileDialog provided I set the .InitialDirectory to somewhere or other on my machine.However I just can't set the .InitialDirectory to a URL even as "http:localhost/..." ie my machine.Is there some way of getting the OpenFileDialog to see Network Drives, URLs, etc?
I want to get mounted and unmounted drives using vb.net. Using getlogicaldrives methods we can get mounted drive. but i want to get unmounted drives also.
I'm trying to show progress bars for the drive size but automatically get the number of drives abd and show progress bars for that number of drives. I've been playing with it for hours,
I am trying to use the WMI code generator, and it has given me some code, the idea is I want to see where the pagefile is and its size etc. The code I have is
SPECS: Visual Basic 2008 - SP1/2, Framework 3.0.3.5, Windows XP Pro, SP3? trying to wright code for checking for existing files but what has me stumped is the (WHAT IF PART) of it witch in fact is what I want to see. What im saying is can I find a file without knowing where it is on all drives? Or how can i find a folder if I dont know where they installed it to.
Example: I know that C:Perfect World International <--- is the default location where my game installs but what if I installed it on D:Perfect World International; or rather on drive G or H. How would I test to see if it exist without making a bunch of nested If statements to test every drive for it.
this also applies to files like: D:Perfect World EntertainmentPerfect World Internationalelementelementclient.exe is there a way to find these files to see if they exist. I know that Perfect world international does not use the program files to put there program files in as you see above. so Envirnment variables I think cant be used correct me if I'm wrong. BUT I know the registry of a computer keeps some stord information as to where these applications are installed to like (References App Data).
What I'm trying to do is use this to tell the user in a Label that the game is installed in this path but I know in some circumstances the game is not installed on drive C: or D: or even in this directory some users can install it in there own directory such as C:PWI. and as such the file elementclient.exe can even be in C:PWIelementclient.exe. So to sum it all up can this be found useing some sort of code to find the file and folder and return them both in 2 difrent labels like this
Game Is Installed In: C:Perfect World International Game Client Name: elementclient.exe, C:Perfect World Internationalelement Game Found On Drive: C: ETC.
I'm thinking and keep thinking that this can be done in many ways but as for environment variables I'm stumped. But perhaps windows registry may play a role in doing this but I myself don't even know where this stuff may be found; and even more how to apply it to code.
I'm in need of a way to find the original path of a substituted (Virtual) drive, set with the subst command.
Start -> Run -> type "cmd" [code] subst l: c:\scripts [\code]
This create a virtual drive that points to c:\scripts\
in .net an easy way to get all the drives on the computer is using the Drive property of My.Computer.FileSystem. However, this will give you the current substitued name of the drive. Is there a way to find the original path?
I get the path of the virtual drives mapped to network folders using WNetGetConnectionA of mpr.dll, However, this only resolves mapped network drives.
I currently don't have away to find the original path of LOCAL virtual drives.
there is function that forces explorer.exe to refresh (and new drive icon appear). Then I can access it.My issue is that I have start up script(gpedit.msc-windows settings-cripts to mount several disks by using SUBST command.But Windows Explorer not shows them after start up.- It's enough to kill explorer.exe and then start it again.
For some reason, I can only run my program at college where I created it. It runs off of E:/ (usb port) so when I take it home, it won't run as at home, my E:/ is a CD Drive. How can I change my program so that it runs off of all drives?
I'm working on a project and would like to know the best way to tackle disabling the cd burner in windows.The first step I took in the project was disabling USB flash drives from being used.
I am writing a program and want to run the program from the cd drive rather than installing it. What I want to know is how can I work out someones cd drive path, and code it to the rest of the file location so that I wont get errors. Also where would I put this code. So my hard drive path is C:Moonshine Obviously users drive letters change, hence my problem.
