Associate The File Types To The App?

Aug 10, 2010

I have gotten my application to open with an associated file type, but now I'm trying to figure out how to associate the file types to the app. I associated them on my PC manually by right clicking on a file and selecting "Open With.." and check-marking "Always use this application to open this file type".What I want to do, is have my program make itself the default application for a file type with the press of a button.If it makes it easier, I'm writing a text editor and want to give the users the option of making it the default text editor for .txt &/or .rtf files.

I have problem to associate an Icon to the specific extention like *.nst which is my application's file.

I can associate icon by writing some registry entries where I have given the path of the icon file. but I don't want to do like this I actually want to embed the icon file into the EXE file and then set the ICON.

C# :: Determining Object Equivalence For Value Types, Reference Types And ILists?

Nov 1, 2009

I have a class with a Property called 'Value' which is of type Object.Value can be of any type, a structure, a class, an array, IList etc.My problem is with the setter and determining whether the value has changed or not.This is simple enough for value types, but reference types and lists present a problem.For a class, would you assume that the Equals method has been implemented correctly, or just assume that the value has changed every time the setter is called?If I did assume it's changed, then perhaps I should assume it for value types as well, so that the behaviour is consistent.

Nov 25, 2009

I am currently working on a document manager type application in vb 2008.

I want to be able to open and preview different file types in the app in addition to being able to open them with their associated programs.

Is it possible to create a universal file opener that will open and display any file type (and if so how do I do it) or do I have to write a separate file opener for each different file type I wish to support?

I am making a program with tabs, and in each tab is a textbox for editing a file (like how VB's designer does). How can I match up a textbox with a tab so that the cut, copy, paste, select all, etc. in the menu can tell what textbox to preform actions on?

I am not sure I am doing this correctly,I want to get a multiple number of file types (gif, jpg, png, etc.) and store them in one variable so I can access all the files in that var. I read that GetFiles doesn't allow for multiple patters, so how do I do this so I can have more than one file type in a variable?

Associate A Key With An Index For A Listviewitem?

Dec 2, 2004

I am trying to find a way to associate a key with an index for a Listviewitem in VB.Net. I'm not even sure if it can be done with .Net but I know in VB6 I could do a

Listview.listitem.add "somestring", "somestring".

For the application I am using this in, I cannot have duplicate item.text so I would make the key the same as the string. this also made accessing the item easier since I didn't have to rely on index to update the subitems.

Associate An Image With A Radio Button?

Mar 14, 2012

I am working on a project that we need to associate an image with a radio button. When the Radio button is selected the image show when its not the image doesnt show.

I am having a problem trying to get this work. I was told that we can use the radio buttons checked attribute and to set the flag but I cannot figure out how to do this.

I have this information but I do not understand what exactly it is referring to at this point:

When the program begins running, the focus goes to the control with the lowest tab index. Because that control is likely to be a radio button, one button will appear selected. You must either display the first flag to match the radio button or make the focus begin in a different control. You might consider beginning the focus on the button.

Set the Visible property of a control to the Checked property of the corresponding check box. That way, when the check box is selected, the control becomes visible.

Because all three selectable controls will be visible when the project begins, set the Checked property of the three check boxes to True at design time. Set the flag picture box to Visible = False so it wont appear at start up (if you plan to display the picture box at start up, its Visible property must be set to True.)
