I am trying to add icons to a listview that would contain a list of programs added by the user. I am pulling my hair out over this. I had the solution a few days ago and then I decided to go in another direction and then cleared my browser history. I have searched for that code for awhile now to no avail.

View 1 RepliesI need to obtain a list of desktop icons and add them to a ListView. I'm currently doing this:
[code]...
It points to the direct path the icons should be located under the user profile. However, for some reason I've yet to determine, not all of the icons are in this directory.
I have a list view with 2 columns (Prodduct and Price). I want the user to be able to add there own values to the listview and have them save so that they will always stay there.I would also like users to be able to delete specific items from the saved list.
The values added to the colums are paired, and must stay together, as one value would be a product and the other a price, So they must, stay together. as a pair
This may seem like a silly question, but where do you find the icons that you use for your programs? I know there are tons of resources online that can be used but it seems that most are hardly "professional".
View 1 RepliesI have a media browser program I am building. I am trying to use drag/drop so a user can drag media tracks from one listview to another listview and then use the second list view as a playlist in windows media player com object. Reading at MSDN I have found out that there is no built in support for item re-ordering with the listview control. I have listview1 working correctly but when I try to reorder items in listview2, the dragged item ends up at the end of the list. So basically I need to get the item insertion index corrected. I have tried more than 10 times to get this code right.
Here is my code which includes a form with two listview's.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub ListView_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _
System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemDrag, _
ListView2.ItemDrag

How can I save ALL of the items in a listview, items that were added by the user? I tried application Settings and tried creating a settings file but there is not a settings option for listview items.

When I add an image to the imagelist, the con shows up. That's fine Let's say that I added 4 images (four items to the listview) then remove one item from the listview. From there, the next item I add will adopt the previous image added. How can I keep this from happening?
I have been trying to create a listview in detail mode which has 2 images (a light is on and one with the light off which represents a boolean value) I have gotten some code which populates the Listview during runtime but i have tried various ways to get the images into this without any success, google has been particularly useless and most examples seem to involve creating an array for each row(great if you have all the data in the first place, my project will perform like a log, it will show an Id, a Name and then 2 colums which should have on/off icons in them.
This is my sample code which works by creating a ListViewItem, adding the items for the row and then adding it. When i did this on my project however it showed nothing in the view (presume i need to refresh it after each add?)

I am trying my hand at .Net 2010. I played around with vb6 for years but now it has come time to do .Net. So I am making a Explorer type app where I have a treeview on the left and a listview on the right. I have all that working fine I now want to add icons to the files listed in the listview. My app calls function in a class file and it populates the listviewHow do you add (dynamically) the icons from the files shown? Below is the function in the class file I have, not the form file.
Public Function ListFoldersFiles(ByVal path As String, ByVal lvTemp As ListView, Optional ByVal sExtFilter As String = "*.*")
' Create a reference to the current directory.

I am used to C like languages such as C#. I added a list box with a list of names. In the code behind I added the below code. When I run the code I am getting the MessageBox but it will state "UserName favorite color is " but does not show the color. I thought it might be misspelled or non-matching names but this is not the issue due to the names being correct.

I've got a list view that opens items inside a folder and displays them. I want to know if there is a way to have the list view display the icons as well, maybe using shell32 or an imagelist. Here's the code:

The issue I'm running into is that 1 folder I have has 812 files in it and it takes a good 20 seconds or more to load the files with their Extracted icons.
Furthermore, I ran into one instance where a .pdf file was given a system icon (sort of like the icon a .bat file would receive with the two gears) instead of the Adobe PDF icon.
So, my questions are: 1) Is there a better way to load files so that it will be able to get the icons and display them in the Listview faster?
2) Is there a better way of getting associated icons since the VS built in option seems fallible.

I have created a project that uses a listview associated to an imagelist (LargeImagelist, I have set the size as 100 x 75 and 32 bit depth), that displays information from a database along with an image from the image list. My listview is set to tilemode so that I can control the size of the tiles to get two columns of six. The image list is populated when the form is loaded from all the images in a specific folder, this part is working appropriately as I can get a picturebox working consistently that references an image from the imagelist.

View 2 RepliesI need to list all icons in the system tray (compatibility is only necessary with Windows Vista) programatically using VB.NET. I've tried a ton of googling and forum searching but have discovered applicable code only in C++ or Delphi - I don't understand either well enough to interpret.
This open-source project [URL].. is an exceptional example of what I need to do but I can't figure out how to translate much more than the p/invoke signatures to vb.It's also worth noting that I don't need to control the icons (i.e. hide, destroy), just be able to populate a list of them with information such as their parent process, tooltip text, the actual icon, and it would be really great if it's possible to "see"
the tray's menu options too so they could be exposed through the vb program.
I'm not asking for anyone to write my code for me but a step in the right direction would be a great help. I'm a fast learner; just having problems getting myself headed down the right path here.
I have a list view control and for each item I set to display an icon it will change the icons for the other items that already have icons, to the most recently added icon.
Here is my code.

Dim fileandparam As String = IconsInfo(ext).ToString

The problem is that I need to be able to access the the value of the uninstallString so that I can pass it to the appropriate process. Since that info is in a separate block, I can't directly access it.
