Having difficulty with the module below failing on line 21. It is telling me: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002) Basically what it is designed to do is look for a directory, if that exists then look for a file in that directory. If both = True then it should open the folder to browse the files. I believe the issue is with the "Program Files" being 2 words since the script runs using a root path, but I'm not sure how to format the path correctly to make it work?

View 2 RepliesI have a problem with changing the name of a folder. I load a picture of the folder no problems
FOLDER.ImageLocation = ""
FOLDER.Image = Image.FromFile(path.Text & "folder.jpg")
Then i the code goes to change the folders name to for example "brothers" thats were the problems start.
I have tried a number of ways
System.IO.Directory.Move(oldf, newf)
FileIO.FileSystem.RenameDirectory(oldf, newf)
Dim dDir1 As New DirectoryInfo(oldf)
dDir1.MoveTo(newf)
I get error message "access denied". When the folder is empty and I try folder name change it works ok. So I am guessing the os/program locks the folder so it cant be changed when the folder image is loaded.

View 1 RepliesIs there anyway to change the default appdata program folder?
i have a class to serialize my settings, and i just want to save them to:
appdata/roaming/[programname]/settings.xml
but when i use the filesystem.specialdirectories.currentuserappdata(something like that) it give me appdata/roaming/[company]/[programName]/[Version]/
i don't want any of that extra stuff, especially since new versions won't be able to access the old settings.
I'm currently working on a project in which at one point, the user may right click a button which brings up a contextMenuStrip. I am already able to find the owner accurately from that strip, and manipulate the button clicked as follows:
Dim myItem As ToolStripMenuItem = CType(sender, ToolStripMenuItem)
Dim cms As ContextMenuStrip = CType(myItem.Owner, ContextMenuStrip)
Dim buttonPressed As DataButton = DirectCast(cms.SourceControl, DataButton)
But now for the tricky part. Within this contextmenuStrip, I have a DropDown menu with multiple items in there. I would assume you would be able to work your way up the ladder doing casts like above in the manner of
ToolStripDrowpDownItem > ToolStripDropDownMenu > ToolStripMenuItem > ContextMenuStrip
Unfortunately, when I try to get the sourcecontrol from this menuStrip, it return Nothing. Any ideas on how I can get the button that was pressed from this toolStripMenuItem? My current code is as follows (in which the sourceControl is Nothing)
Dim myItem As ToolStripDropDownItem = CType(sender, ToolStripDropDownItem)
Dim dropDown As ToolStripDropDownMenu = CType(myItem.Owner, ToolStripDropDownMenu)
Dim menuItem As ToolStripMenuItem = CType(dropDown.OwnerItem, ToolStripMenuItem)
Dim cms As ContextMenuStrip = CType(menuItem.Owner, ContextMenuStrip)
Dim buttonPressed As DataButton = DirectCast(cms.SourceControl, DataButton)
how to go about doing what I did in that first method, but just working my way up from further down the ladder?
