View 1 RepliesMy Program is selected as the default program in the registry for any RTF file that is double-clicked. I want my program to load the RTF file when I double-click it in windows explorer, however, I also have my program set up so that it always opens the last file I had open, which is stored in an INI file. I do not know how to detect that a file have been double-clicked in Windows Explorer within my program as it loads (FormMain_Load), and then load that file instead of the last file open.
View 4 RepliesIn Windows Explorer, when you open a ZIP file and double-click a file, say a JPEG file (.jpg), Windows extracts the JPEG file to a temporary folder, and passes the temporary file name to the associated program as the one and only argument, such as "C:UsersjpriceAppDataLocalTempTemp1_<>.zip<>.jpg"
I noticed that some applications, like the Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 7 know what ZIP file the temporary file came from. You can click next and previous and get the next/previous files from the ZIP file (as you do, they are also extracted to temporary files). I've googled and prowled through system.io.packaging, but I can't figure out how to get the path of the original ZIP file (the file name is part of the temporary file path). It's not done with the shell-->open command, Windows Photo Viewer only gets the temporary file name as far as I can tell.
The Photo Viewer command line is
%SystemRoot%System32
undll32.exe "%ProgramFiles%Windows Photo ViewerPhotoViewer.dll", ImageView_Fullscreen %1. I did use ProcessMon to watch Photo Viewer and saw it read the .zip file (probably using zipfldr.dll) but could not discover how it knew where the original zip file was.
It was suggested that I pose this question here instead of the installation forum:In VB2010, when opening a class, form, etc. from the Solution Explorer, I would like it to open as a floating window, not as a tabbed document. Is there a way to do this?
View 12 RepliesI have a situation where I am handling both single & double mouse click events on a form. In both cases something has to be loaded, however when a double click occurs, I do not wish to execute the code attached to the single click event.Is there a way to intercept the mouse click's and check if double or single and then execute the right event appropriately?

View 7 RepliesA form I created, was able to modify and shows when the program is run has suddenly changed in the solution explorer. Now when the form "MainMenu.vb" is highlighted in the solution explorer the icon for "view designer" vanishes from the toolbar. The "view code" shows "MainMenu.vb" but there is not any code there and only an empty "General" and "Declarations" show. The icon to the left of the "MainMenu.vb" is like a module icon not a form icon.
View 5 RepliesI have this:vb Private Sub ImageShop_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.DoubleClick openFile.ShowDialog()End Sub Which is supposed to show my dialog box when someone double clicks on the form, but that doesn't work.
I have a menu item that is single click, and that works fine. Why doesn't the double click work when someone double clicks on the form?
I am trying to prevent a form from being moved or resized by the user. I am able to do that IF the user double clicks the form (I basically resize the form to full screen, andreposition it to 0,0). This is loads of flickering, but it works. However this seems to only work if the user double clicks the form. After loading, if you grab to top bar, you can move it.
View 2 RepliesIn the Solution Explorer window, is it possible to change the highlight color of selected items *when the form does not have focus*?For example, selecting a module in the Solution Explorer highlights that module's name in Blue, then when the focus is lost by moving to another window in the IDE, that blue highlight becomes a very, very light gray (on some LCD monitors in particular). I'd like to make that light gray a bit easier to see.Is this possible? I'm running VS2008 SP1 on Vista 64.
View 2 RepliesSome of my students end up with a different icon in the Solution Explorer when they create applications. An example is the attached Exam.vb icon, which includes a little arrow into the normal Form icon (see pic) . I am guessing it means it is linked some how. When the application is zipped and submitted, an error is thrown when I unzip it to grade it which indicates that the file in not part of the project, and it references the absolute address on the original application.Any idea what caused this and how can I instruct the students to avoid it in the future?
View 5 RepliesI am having this strange thing happen where I have a Module that contains multiple classes in my project. In the Solution Explorer, the module shows up as a Windows Form and if I double click on it to open it, it tries to open the Form Designer. What could be causing VS to think that it is a Windows Form instead of a module?

Stupid question, but how do I get access to this Explorer? The says: To create a performance session for Windows client application:
(1) Open the solution in the Visual Studio IDE.
(2) On the <B>Analyze</B> menu, click <B>Launch Performance Wizard</B>.
(3) From the <B>Which of the following available targets would you like to profile?</B> drop-down list, select the name of the application that you want to profile, and then click <B>Next</B>. You can add more binaries later.
(4) Accept the default Sampling profiling method, and then click Next.
(5) Click <B>Finish</B>.
Only problem is that there is no <B>Analyze</B> menu in the IDE.
2. Display Form1.vb in design view.
3. List the controls by the Name property and the control names, if any, that are not descriptive.
4. Change the Text property of the form to "Hangman."
5. Change the FormBorderStyle property to Fixed3D.
6. Explain why the form should not be resizable.
7. Change the Font of lblWord to Size 12 Bold.
8. Reposition lblWord so that its left edge is aligned with the left edge of the PictureBox picBody (the box in the center of the form).
9. Add code to the btnExit_Click event procedure to close the form, and exit the application by calling the form's Close method.
10. Add code to the btnNew_Click event procedure to:

Form3.Visible = True
Form3.Label1.Text = gNowButtonDispText

There must be a way to do this, I just need the correct BackgroundWorker Syntax send Stop commad to Form1.Timer from Form3.Click_event...all inside a Form1.BackgroundWorker thread started in Form1.

When i Restarted my project, the solution explorer is not showing up. I tried with ctrl+ ALt+ L, still it is not showing up.

Working in the interface I find it very frustrating that when you double click something in a form, it automatically enters code that you have to delete, then exit out when you were only trying to single click.

I want to be able to create a tree view that can get its nodes form a directory on a computer. In the code below, I am able to get all of the files into a list, but I cannot get the folder correct. What I mean is in your user directory, you have sub directorys such as, Documents, Music, and Pictures. When you run this code, it displays them each as thier own node, not nested. I hope this makes sense.

Changed the code to the way spinion told me to. When I run this code I get an error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' when it starts to try and add files to the tree view.
