I need to obtain a list of desktop icons and add them to a ListView. I'm currently doing this:
[code]...
It points to the direct path the icons should be located under the user profile. However, for some reason I've yet to determine, not all of the icons are in this directory.
I have created a project that uses a listview associated to an imagelist (LargeImagelist, I have set the size as 100 x 75 and 32 bit depth), that displays information from a database along with an image from the image list. My listview is set to tilemode so that I can control the size of the tiles to get two columns of six. The image list is populated when the form is loaded from all the images in a specific folder, this part is working appropriately as I can get a picturebox working consistently that references an image from the imagelist.
[Code]...
I would like to make a image in the form representing the icon and a label below it to represent name but is there a easy way to do this.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to add icons to a listview that would contain a list of programs added by the user. I am pulling my hair out over this. I had the solution a few days ago and then I decided to go in another direction and then cleared my browser history. I have searched for that code for awhile now to no avail.

Is there a way in VB .Net to add specific icons to a desktop like "Computer", "Network",Recycle bin", and "User" files? I want to be ablse to use it for XP and Vista, but Vista as a main priority. In vista you can Right Click the desktop select "Properties", click "Change Desktop Items" in the left hand corner, and then select the icons you want. I thought that maybe there is a way to do it by calling that, or maybe a way to do it in the registry.

I'm practicing using the setup and deployment project. I can add a shortcut to the desktop and give it an icon to display without problem. Many applications have a choice of icons to display for the desktop icon; when we right-click on the icon and choose "change icon" there is a box that appears giving the user a choice of different styles of icons to use for the programme. My question is: how can I give the user a choice of icons to be able to select which one to display? Do I have to make a dll file or is it another method?
Is there a way to Show/Hide the desktop icons in .NET?I tried manually editing the HideIcons subkey in the registry through code, but it didn't take for some reason.I also tried calls to Win API methods FindWindowA but i'm not the best at handling unmanaged code.

View 6 RepliesI have a class in VB with some constants that represent the string name of my security roles. I need to be able to call a function to return to me a string array(or collection, or whatever) of the values of each of these constants. I will be using it to make sure that my databases Roles table has the same roles as coded into the application.
[Code]...
I'm looking to run a function, i.e. ClassConstantsToStringArray(gettype(Roles)) that will return to me "Administrator","Basic User","Power User" I'm know reflection is the way to go, I just don't know enough about using it yet to get what I want. I found a function on the net that would return to me the constant names in a FieldInfo array but still don't have enough smarts to make that work for me.
