Access Global (Windows Explorer) File Select Event?
Apr 7, 2010
I am newbie to vB .NET.I am developing an application for PDF files merge and split using vb .net (Visual studio 2008). Already i have included options for drag and drop and browse button to input the pdf files. Is there a way we can access global file select event and keyboard events to easy inputting the pdf files or any other files types??Example:if i use left mouse click along with control button the progrm will include the pdf file in the application form by getting the file path and file type information from windows explorer.
The code below is able to process a path such as, "C: est est.txt". And open its root, "C: est". But how would you highlightselect test.txt? Do I need to work with the windows shell specifically.
vb.net Try Dim item As ListViewItem = Me.ListView1.SelectedItems(0)
I am having a namespace extension implemented, which is visible in "MY Computer". I want to write automated test cases to browse through the same. I am able to open the explorer window till the namespace extension. as - Process.Start("explorer.exe", "shell:::{CLSID of my namespace }")
next I want to search for a particular folder name inside the window opened. For example if i give input as "temp", then my mouse should move to "temp" folder in the namespace explorer window. then I double click on the mouse's current position and enter that folder. next i give input as "doc1.doc", then my mouse should be able to locate & move to "doc1.doc" file. Also getDirectory or GetFile etc APIs won't work because I don't have a standard drive associated with my namespace & don't have a relative path either.
I want to make a program that is similar to Windows Explorer. It will have a button that when you click it it opens a FolderBrowserDialog and it will have an area that displays the contents of the selected folder. I want to have a label that displays the current folder path (i.e. 'USERDocuments...') and I also would like a feature to search all files on the computer.Also, is it possible that when I click on a file in the contents of the selected folder it displays its information (i.e. Name, Size, etc.)? And can I also make it so that if you double click on another folder in the current folder's display it opens that folder? And can I have a button to go up one directory?
I'm trying to do a simple select query from a MS access database from my service. Has anyone managed to do this in the past using their Jet eninge?
I had originally debugged and tested the code in a windows form and it worked fine. Once I moved the code into a windows service and installed it, it bombs out and doesn't generate any errors.
Thing is, I just found a .mdb file on the net so not entirely sure of the database version. I'm running office 2007 and read that if you used the .accdb version on a machine that didn't have access 2007 installed (which is going to be 99% likely), you had to install some drivers etc. in order for it to work. That is not an option unfortunately which is why I went with the old .mdb that could use Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 without any drivers to be installed.
Do I need to import something into this project to get this to work? I've attached the code below. I've added a comment after the problematic line.
Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection Dim dbProvider As String Dim dbSource As String
will give me information if the foregroundwindow is being draggedor not something for example GetDragState(Foregroundwindow)does any API of this kind even exists?
Also, I'm working with this code to get all main window handles: For Each proc As Process In Process.GetProcesses If (Not proc.MainWindowHandle = 0) And (proc.MainWindowHandle <> ExceptWin) And
I have searched for the past 2 hours to see if there is a control available that will mimic windows explorer. I realise it can be created using TreeView and ListView controls, but this is an incredible amount of work for something that I would have thought would already be available. VB 6 had the DirListBox and DriveListBox which would have made this easier but without the right click context menu
If I had to create this myself, how would I populate the right click context menu to mirror the options available by explorer?
If you look at CDBurnerXP or MagicISO, they have what I am trying to achieve, with the layout and a right click menu containing the same options available in explorer.
I am using VB 2008 Express to connect to an Access 2007 database. I have a combo box called SelectYearMonth that is populated by the database. When I used the Access report VBA, I used the AfterUpdate() event to calculate a sum. I need to know how to do the same operation in VB 2008 Express using the SelectedIndexChanged event of the combo box.
When I made a report in Access using VBA I coded my calculation as: Me.ExactReprintTextbox = DSum("Pages", "HBELP_FINAL_Q", "YEARMONTH = " & [SelectYearMonth] & " AND JOBTYPE = 'E'") While this works great with Access VBA, this syntax does not work in VB 2008 Express. How do I code this in VB 2008 Express?
I need to calculate the sum of all "Pages" of a particular "JOBTYPE" in the Access database for the YEARMONTH selected in the combobox. I have a query in Access called "JobTypeExact_Query" that contains all the pages of that particular JOBTYPE that I need. What I need to do is limit the calculation results to the YEARMONTH selected in the combobox.
I have my registry set up so it will call my application when a certain filetype/file extension is double clicked, however, as of now I can only get my program to open up those files if it was already closed. I am currently using the [URL] to get the passed files.

The combo box is called "cboYearMonth" and is populated by my database, this is working correctly.
The text box that I want the calculated results to appear in is called "ExactPagesTextbox"
I have a query in Access called "JobTypeExact_Query" that contains all the pages that I need. What I need to do is calculate the total number of "Pages" limited to the YEARMONTH selected in the combo box. YEARMONTH is a value in every record in this query.
An application data file, created by my own VB program, is visible to read and save from that application, but is not visible from Windows Explorer or Notepad. The icon, visible from my VB program, shows a lock. How can I remove the lock and see the program with Windows Explorer. (I need to copy to a another computer to use in a workshop next week.)
i need something simplei tried using webbrowsers to view files, had 5 different browsers in a tabcontrol and it seemed to slow down the pc.. hmmm.. so, maybe the basic vb coding will do..although it was easy w/webbrowsers, just WebBrowser5.Navigate("C:Documents and SettingsOwnerDesktop ru filesemulators") and it was done... anyways,
My Program is selected as the default program in the registry for any RTF file that is double-clicked. I want my program to load the RTF file when I double-click it in windows explorer, however, I also have my program set up so that it always opens the last file I had open, which is stored in an INI file. I do not know how to detect that a file have been double-clicked in Windows Explorer within my program as it loads (FormMain_Load), and then load that file instead of the last file open.
I'm new to write windows services and I was searching around collecting necessery info and howtos. What I'm missing is the interaction between my webapp and the service. The servicecontroller sending messages to the service and gives me the main status of the service. Is there a way to get custom messages, set custom properties and get properties? If there are not, should I use a file for both the service and the web app where both can read and write on, like a settings file in xml or are there better methods? Is there a way to get the messages in the corresponding eventlog, how do I access them?
I have a .net Windows Service developed in VB.net. I have a settings file in the root directory called Connections.XML and I am setting the basedirectory [code]...
When I schedule the service this is working absolutely fine in my Windows XP machine. But when I installed the same service in our development server (Windows 2003 64 bit Server) for some reason it is not able to locate this file.
I am having a windows application. That downloads files from server and write into the local directory. It works fine. When we try the same appliication in Windows 7. IT shows an error Access to the path denied (While writing to the local directory).
i have context menus & want the menu items font style to change to bold whenever the mouse moves over, and return to regular when it leaves.
Private Sub EmnuExitMenu_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles EmnuExitMenu.MouseLeave Me.EmnuExitMenu.Font = New Font(Me.EmnuExitMenu.Font, FontStyle.Regular)
So i am having a bit of a problem.. What i want is for my application to show the panel in the from to display a windows explorer selection.. Look here
You see the panel 2 in here... Well the panel 2 needs to display this...
Is this possible you know like with a library or an extension or something.. Or do i need to make my own System for viewing files..???
I have 2 functions for opening and closing Windows Explorer, which is still working fine with Windows XP and even Vista. The same functions not working on Windows 7. Following are the functions:

I have use VS2005, I have open windows explorer from code. when i click on search button it open New windows, and in this I click on All files and folders in Look in : combo by default C: and D: drives are set.
I have a piece of code that i want many ListViews to run throughout the app at ItemUpdated. I'm sure the same can apply to many other control-events.How can I hook up a certain listviews ItemUpdated event to a sub in a class module?
here's my class module Public Class ControlParts
Public Shared Sub LSVItemUpdated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ListViewUpdatedEventArgs) Dim lsv As ListView = CType(sender, ListView) lsv.EditIndex = -1 End Sub End Class
Now if i add OnItemUpdated="LSVItemUpdated" to my ListView's declaration I get an error that 'LSVItemUpdated' is not a member of 'ASP.admin_order_aspx'. Well, I don't want this on the page. I wan't this to be globaly accessible. I could in the code behind call the LSVItemUpdated, but that will beat the whole point off.
How do I open a Windows 7 Library like Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos and all other custom libraries from my app? I tried opening explorer.exe LibrariesDocuments but it doesn't work.
