Visual Basic.Net - OpenFileDialog Control - Initial Directory Property?
Dec 13, 2011
I am working on an assignment, so need to pass the file to the instructor. I thought I remembered a way to input a placeholder character(s) that tells the computer that the path is flexible until the point where I declare the actual path.
For example: if the directory is C:documentsMyProjectinDebug on my machine, and is F:usersownerclass assignmentscis101StudentAMyProjectinDebug on the instructor's machine, can I put a "wildcard" type of character that points to the ...MyProjectinDebug file that will work on both machines in the Initial Directory property?
When i open a file with the proces method en i try to open another file, the openFileDialog box start with the last directory and filename. In the property i write a initial directory. How can reach the situation that the box always start with the initial directory i give.
I want my user to only be able to open files in the initial directory that I set on OpenFileDialog. I have googled a bit and found you cannot restrict, but that was information from a few years ago and I'm not sure what version. Has this control changed at all in VS 2008?
My application is handling it okay if the user does navigate out, but it would be more concise if I could prevent him from doing so in the first place. And the fact that I have found others who wanted to do this also, makes me think it might be a nice property to have built in.
I am trying to write a simple Visual Basic 2008 installer that copies word macro templates to Word's startup directory. On Vista and 7, that directory is the user's AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWordSTARTUP directory. Is there a way that I can programmatically find this directory? I.e. is it safe to say that this directory will almost always be in this location such that I can simply get the user's home directory and then add AppDataetc.... or is there a registry or something else that I can access to get Word's current standard startup directory?

First let me statethat my VB skills are appalling. Havent touched it since VB3 Ok here is the scenario. we want to be able to give our first line support the ability to modify AD groups BUT WITHOUT giving the acess or powers in the AD console.

I am writing a math game for my brother in Visual Basic to help him with double digit numbers(both adding and subtracting).Normally you solve a problem by writing right to left on a piece of paper. Is there any way of setting the text box to do this?
For Example:
58 + 18
You would type in the text box '6' followed by '7' so it would read '76'I set the right to left property but it does not do what I want it to do.

I am trying to select a folder from an initial directory and store the initial directory with the selected directory in Folder1Dir. Also not sure how to dimension OpenFileDialog1.
I have a problem setting the initial directory in an savefiledialog object. when the dialog opens it always opens up in the directory I specified in an earlier version of the application.

I just installed Visual Basic 2010, went through some tutorials on how to display files, but can't find any material on how to select and embed existing PDF files into a form.
OK as far as I know there is no control array in Visual Basic 2005 So how do I do this. I want to change the color of an array of pictureboxes some red some green almost like sending an SOS message. So I already have a string of ones and zero's like 11000110001001100011......these are already in an integer array........ARRAY(40) ......but now I need to transfer this data to an array of pictureBoxes by turning them Red or Green to show the message. I just wanted to place the integer array and the PictureBox array in the same.......
I'm looking at controlling properties of an array of buttons in VB 2008 (express). I have been looking at the sample code from a whitepaper at MS, and it kind of makes my head spin compared to what was done in VB6! (and yes I'm an amateur
I'd like to make a textbox that accepts only numbers, but not integer, but rather double.I've read here about e.Handled = Not Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) and it works, but again, it can be used only for integer, since it declines decimal point.Another thing I've read here is If Not Double.TryParse(TextBox2.Text, value) Then .... and it would work fine, except that it allows only decimal comma instead of point.
The web browser control that comes with visual basic 2008 is out-dated and is very slow to load a lot of newer web pages. How do I go about updating it?
Also, is it possible to use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox instead? Would I be able to use code like this in any of the newer browsers?:
Does anyone know of a way have the PropertyGrid control display a NumericUpDown instead of a DropDown box or text box? One of the properties that I need to capture is an integer and I'd like the user to be able to spin up or down to choose a value instead of typing it in.
I want to programmatically set the focus to the last row (bottommost, its only one column wide) in the DataGridView control for Visual Basic. How can I do so?
So far, I have tried DGV.Rows.GetLastRow(DataGridViewElementStates.Selected)
without success, though I did not expect that to work. It absolutely must select that last cell. Otherwise, the application is nearly impossible to use!
Here is a screenshot of what I am making with this: [URL]..The "Paste Clipboard Contents" button only pastes into the selected cell, though I guess I could find a workaround.
I've been asked by a local window cleaner to design a small utility that can display a grid of customer data, sort them, and then export it out as a formatted .txt or rtf file.
