I'm using a folderbrowser dialog to choose a folder. however, the default folder is deep in the directory. when show the dialog, I set the selectedpath to the folder I want, but, the dialog does not show the selected folder in current view. users have to scroll down to see it.
is there a way to make the selected path shown in the current view when the dialog is launched?
I am having a problem trying to change a wpf application's folderbrowserdialog to an openfiledialog. The original application works fine and displays all the mp3 in the selected folder on the listview as intended. The problem occurs when I change the code to use an openfiledialog in order to select specific files, the mp3's do not show up in the listview, nor does the context show up in the status bar as the original program did. I have tried writing a test program which only includes a listview, button, and an openfiledialog and it works fine until I try to insert the test code into the original code.
Here is the original code:
Imports System.Text
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Globalization

how i can get a file count of the files in a folder by just using a folderbrowser dialog to do so.. as soon as i open a folder's location, to also add the the file count. i know how to get file count from a listbox, but i do not want to add a listbox if not needed. searched the net and got too many links leading nowhere. i am just looking for a simple solution, with a few lines of code, nothing complicated, just code i can add in a button.
i did find this code, but it is throwing a fit,
Dim di As IO.DirectoryInfo = New IO.DirectoryInfo(Label2.Text)
Dim fi() As IO.FileInfo = di.GetFiles("*", IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories) 'this line gives error

I am unable to select a .ZIP folder with either the FolderBrowserDialog (FBD) or the OpenFileDialog (OFD). First off the FBD does not show any .ZIP folders when using it and the OFD does show .ZIP folders but I am not sure how to handle it's path. My question would be how can I handle the OFDs ".SelectedPath"??? I could easily obtain that info with the FBD "FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath", but it does not allow the selection of .ZIP folders.. So now I am trying to do the same thing with the OFD but there isn't any code for obtaining the ".SelectedPath". Here's some code that shows what I am trying to do:
Private sourcePath As String
Private destPath As String

When shutting down a Windows XP system, it displays a modal dialog box while the background fades to a grayscale. I will like to achieve the same effect in any of the programming languages in the tag list.
View 1 RepliesI have two forms for my application, that are visible in the Windows taskbar. When a modal dialog is popped up on the main form, the secondary form is locked. However, when the user clicks on the secondary form on the taskbar, it appears over the modal dialog box, and is basically frozen. Is there a way to ensure that the modal dialog box does not draw underneath the secondary form? The topmost property is no good, since this draws on top of everything, even stuff not related to the application.
View 1 RepliesI have an assignment due this week in which I have to make a app that has 5 buttons and a picture box. When each button is clicked it has to show the corresponding picture in the picture box, the fifth button closes the app.
I have the whole form set up the way it should be, but I have no idea how to write the code to make the buttons display the images and close the app.I have the images in a folder within the project folders.
I have yet to be able to find one, the one I found should how to do it using a file opener dialog and a folder browser dialog but that is not what I think my prof wants us to do, as that is more for a picture viewer app that lets the user choose the file of the image they want ot view.
All i want is for the buttons to be linked to specific photos that are part of the application itself and have them open.
Code so far:
Private Sub Button6_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button6.Click

In my application, user can select a folder via folder browser dialog box.

How to use folder browser dialog box. What I want to do is to locate the path where the user want to save the file and then enter the file name.
View 1 RepliesI need to display the Browse for Folder dialoge on button click event. I have some how managed to start File Dialog form, however that is not what I need.
View 3 RepliesI'm writing an app where a user selects a folder on the network for a job to deposit output into.The person setting up the job will not necessarily be the same person who runs the job and that the job will not be ran on the same machine so I need to keep the path in UNC format. I can get the user to "see" the network when the FolderBrowserDialog runs by pointing the route folder at the desktop folder.
The issue is that if the network share is local even though the user has selected the folder through the network folders it returns the local path!! Which of course means that when the job is run on the other machine it can not find the folder specified.
E.g. The user on machine1 selects the network share \machine1jobsmyjob but the dialog returns C:work2010JobsClientjobsmyjob. machine2 then runs the job and looks for C:work2010JobsClientjobsmyjob and can not find it then throws an error.
As you can see from the above example I can't just replace c: with the local machine name as the share may not be in the root of the drive. I did think about parsing the text and changing it to \machine1c$work2010JobsClientjobsmyjob but this would mean I'd have to allow all the users to have admin access to our servers which is a non starter.if there is a way to switch off this behaviour in the dialog?
dim myDialog as new FolderBrowserDialog
With myDialog
.Description = "Browse to Job destination"
.ShowNewFolderButton = True

I have an app that displays a folder browser dialog. Before displaying it I would like to set its size but I cannot find any methods or attribute that will allow me to do so, either in the object itself or any class that it inherits from.
The only solution I can think of is to use the SetWindowPos windows function. Before I go down that road, can anyone verify that it is not otherwise possible to programmatically resize the dialog?
If it's not possible, then in vb.net to use a windows library method, do I declare it like this:
Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long and use it, or does .net offer another way to access the windows library?

I have a program that uses the Folder Browser Dialog... I am currently using it to GetFiles and list them in a list box... Currently, it searches directories and subdirectories to get files with a specific patter. I would like to either have the files show with their paths, or return a list of the directories to work with later on... Using the Get Directories method I beleive it creates an Array but I am unfamiliar with how to manage the list it returns. I am also having an issue when the user selects cancel the code continues running for the get files method and throws an error.
