VS 2010 - Adding Drag And Drop Support In Renaming Program?
Sep 12, 2011
I am trying to make a renaming program, which I have done, but wanted to add drag and drop support. Firstly, when I drag and drop the files into a listbox they appear to be going in and are ordered randomly. I want them to go into the order they're dragged in. Secondly, instead of having the entire path such as:
D:TVThe Big Bang Theory SeasonSeason 1The Big Bang Theory S01E01 - Pilot
I want just "The Big Bang Theory S01E01 - Pilot" to go into the listbox.
I am once more stuck:There are 2 PictureBoxes on my Form. They get the image from the Application's StartUpPath, "1.jpg" for PictureBox1 and "2.jpg" for PictureBox2. All the dragging and dropping works fine. What I still need is a bit of code change that will allow me to rename the original files:
Two questions: how can I completely wipe a file from disk with vb.net? I found a code in C#, converted it to VB.net online but didn't understand a letter. I was thinking on a wiper like CCleaner has, but for a selected files only.
And, how can I manage drag-n-drop functions? Like... drag something into my form (or my app's exe) and do something with it?
I have a button that if a user clicks on the button it creates a new button without the user knowing, and they can drag it to a split container, drop it and edit the button. I am having an issue where I cannot drag or drop the button onto the split container.[code]...
The following website appears to show you you might do Drag/Drop that works like explorer does but I don't know what the code would be in VB, what exactly i'd need or anything else. It's a quite large code base just to make it so you get the same effect as explorer even though it seems to be API's or .dll's that should handle most of the work.
If the API's & .dll's available for this don't handle most of it I don't see why not because well if your meant to get the same effect why is it going to be handled mostly by code? I would think it would be as easy as passing an image or file/folder as string & then there the image is & possibly the functions you want to be allowed or text to be displayed for the drag action & then a little more to determine where your trying to drag to so what the text should be changing to.
Anyways heres the website which has a lot of the information/code in non-vb language, even when translated to VB using online tools I couldn't figure out what did what or what pieces I needed to get a basic drag action to work that has said visual information like explorer does.[URL]..
I need drop one item from one panel to another using a drag and drop feature. These items move from different cycles so need to drag and drop it into new cycle/column.
I am trying to open multiple files using a third-party program, by calling it from VB.NET. By default, the program I am using, through command line, only opens one file at a time - and if I call it again, it opens a new instance. (when started in GUI, I can drop many files on it).
Now I open it with
Shell("program file")
If the program is running, I want to add "file" on top of the running instance instead of starting a new instance.
Something like:
If Not procExists then Shell("program file") else
[Code].....
Unfortunately, just like Shell("program filename"), it opened lots of instances of "program", instead o loading all the files in the same instance.
I am currently working on a drag and drop project and I was wondering if there is a way to drag picturebox1 and drop it in picturebox2; that will snap to a specific location in the picturebox2?
ListView Drag&Drop allow to Drag&Drop between form??
Public Class frmModule Private Sub ListView1_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemDrag[code]....
Can it be drap and drop item to other form control??How to write the event when mouse up at the other form control?
I had a user ask me today if I could make it so they could simply drag and drop text from other programs into the app I've written. I found an old (2002 & 2003) article on drag and drop, but I'm sure things have been made better since then.
Anyone doing this today can point me in the right direction? Is this much of a pain to enable?
I am dragging a control over a different control as part of a drag/drop operation. AllowDrop is set for both the dragged control and the drop target. There is a DragDrop handler for the drop target, but when I drop on the target, the handler is never called, and nothing happens. I expect that I am overlooking something simple, but, as might be expected, I can't see it.
When I drag onto a different type of control, it is working correctly, and dragging to the control in question was once working correctly, but not anymore. I did make a bunch of changes, but the fundamental issue is that the dragdrop event is never raised for the control that is the drop target.
I have a picturebox that has a semi-complex image on it and also has a series of other pictureboxes, most of which are set to not visible. The way the program works, the user can click and drag a couple different items on the parent picturebox. The things they can drag are not actual controls, but parts of the image itself. That is all working fine. While testing, I had all of the subordinate pictureboxes (there are a variable number of them) visible showing a black background. I have now improved their implementation, so I changed the display so that only the subordinate pictureboxes that actually have something in them are visible. For all the others, they have .Visible = False.
The problem is that when I click and drag on one of the items in the parent picturebox, all the invisible pictureboxes become visible. They have no image in them, so they take on the color of the backgroud behind the parent picturebox. This is undesirable. I want the invisible pictureboxes to remain invisible during the drag and drop action. The one solution that seems promising is to set the image of all those pictureboxes to some transparent image such that, though they are visible, they will not appear as anything. A bit of testing shows that this technique would work.
I have finally got the drag and drop to work on my form, so the user can drop files on it. I have used the msdn example so i can get the whole filename (path + filename). But how do i get only the filename? (lol.zip) And maybe the path where it is?
I have AutoDragDrop enabled in my textbox. It drags the .jpg file into my program successfully. When I save it only saves the text not the .jpg file. I do realize that when I save the file I need to have the .jpg saved also and I am not sure how to accomplish this. I have checked multiple forums and googled of course. No luck as of yet.
I have a simple textfile which I want to drag-drop into the treeview. After the drop read the textfile (line by line) and create the nodes. There are no subnodes (what-so-ever). File looks like this:
Is there any way of detecting the position where the Mouse Button is released during a Drag & Drop operation. I need to know whether the intended Drop position was not reached when the mouse button is released.
I am building a 'shape editor' which looks very similar to the Visual Studio form designer. I have a Toolbox control that holds a few 'Shapes' (such as RectangleShape, EllipseShape, TriangleShape, etc) which the user should be able to drag to the design view ("Canvas") in any MDI form. The Toolbox control is just a TreeView except that I add ToolboxItems to it (which are inherited TreeNodes). This dragging however does not seem to work...
1) I'm dragging a file (.txt) into a rtb which works fine, but how do I get the filename? (messagebox whatever)
2) How do I restrict files to drop? (like a .exe)
vb.net If e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) Then Dim Files() As String Files = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop) Dim sReader As New StreamReader(Files(0))
I'm able to drag and drop a node. The treeview is loaded with files and folders on the HD. The tag of the node has the path to the file/folder. [code] I only want to be able to drag a node into a folder and not into a file, as it does with this code.
I am using Excel 2007, VS2008 Pro.I am building a VSTO Add-in that requires "drag and drop from Excel cells to a drag-enabled task pane".So far I notice that I can only drag and drop within the cells themselves. It does not allow me to drop into the task Pane or drag past the sheet limits.(http:)[url]...
Note: The task pane has drag drop enabled, I ahve already tested I can drag/drop from task pane to excel but I need to do this the other way around?
I am trying to figure out a way to include the listview's tag field when dragging one listview's subitems into another listview. I am hoping someone here has experience with this. My Listview drag code is below - the two listviews that I am dragging subitems into or from are LV1 and LV3. Also, this is being done in Visual Basic 2008 and the project is a windows application.
I've been working on my game for a while, in a non-online multi-player state it is complete. My goal is to add LAN or Internet Play support.My game is coded in Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express, It relies heavily on timers.Currently you play against the AI, and there is a Local multiplayer mode, using mice, controllers or the keyboard.At the moment, it is a two player, (Or 1 player against the AI) game, from my understanding the standard Client-to-Server option wouldn't very efficent, the best choice would be a peer-to-peer system.That being said, a lot of the stuff could be done client side, like for instance, the particle engine and Dynamic Rendering.[code]
Does the Express Version support adding multiple soultions (.sln) to a project or is this only available with the Professional version.I see that I can add a DLL as a reference that was built in 2010, but it is not letting me step into it with the debugger (or recompile changes to its source).
drag and drop nodes within the same tree (not between trees) when users drag and drop nodes within the tree, give them the option to move the original node to a new location within the tree OR to just copy the original node in a new location (seems complex but I have a month to figure this out). change the system default blue highlight for selected nodes to another color change the system default cursors for invalid and valid drops (instead of the circle with slash indicating invalid target, i want a red minus) and (instead of the little plus sign with little box indicating a valid target, i want just a big green plus sign) add a red insert line to indicate where the node would be dropped within a tree also drag and drop the text of a node from the tree to a textbox add a "folder" image next to parent nodes and a "document" image next to children nodes
I have looked through the internet but I am having difficulty sorting through all the information available (I see a lot of information for Visual Basic 5 and 6, and those codes don't work for me in visual studio 2008). I can email anyone my code I have so far.
Public Class Form1 Private MouseIsDown As Boolean = False Public Sub TreeView_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ItemDragEventArgs)Handles TreeView1.ItemDrag
Is it possible to reorder the elements of a drop down list (combobox) via drag and drop?For example, when the list is dropped down, I want the user to be able to drag the items up or down to reorder them. I tried this (and some google searching) but I'm wondering if its just not possible:
Private Sub cmbClassLists_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles cmbClassLists.MouseDown If cmbClassLists.DroppedDown And Not cmbClassLists.SelectedIndex = -1 Then
I Want to develop a software like Yed.i just don know where to start.how we can create a workspace where i can drag and drop icons and create connection etc etc.
