1. How can i get file names from a directory and put them in a ListBox? Not the full path to them?
2. Can someone explain how to make a program default to .lua openings?
3. How could i put an icon in the Notification area?
4. When a dialog is open, like options, how can i disable clicking of the main form?
basically, i'm creating a program that is saving text files based on user input.
another screen is then needing to transfer the saved information into textboxes.
to do this i want the saved .txt files' titles to shows in a listbox, and when each selection is made, the textboxes are populated with the information in the .txt files.
I'm trying to do something like this: when i press a button a dialog opens and then i choose files, the files names should go into the listbox

I have problem with Sorting ListBox in Visual Basic 2008. When I load names from some files (file's name is number_name like="156_blabla") and I need sort it by that number
It is:
1018_name1
102_name2
1026_name3
And I need it:
102_name2
1018_name1
1026_name3
I want to fill a listbox with file names of the specific extention. This is my code , does not work.
lstClips_ListBox.Items.Clear()

View 12 RepliesI'm trying to have a ListBox show a list of tables available in a database. This can then be selected to be used later on.My problem is getting the actual table name to show up. I have the connection to the mysql database working properly, but it just shows "System.Data.DataRowView"

This next program I am working on consists of 3 listbox's. The idea is to have the end user load names in the first and second list box. Then have a button's action when pressed combines the list in listbox1 with listbox2 then gives the output combination in listbox 3.
I also wanted to include some checkbox options such as adding a "_" or "." for every item.
Here is a thinking map of how I want it to work.

I THINK I have seen a simpler way of doing this, however I can't remember how to do it... How can I get all the color names into a ListBox? This is the code I found on the web:
vb.net

create a generic list of strings

I made a Listbox but there is an issue.. I want to play a sound when I click one of the names in the listbox.
View 6 RepliesOkay, so the title was horrible. I know that. Here's what I'm trying to do:I have a lot of data that's coming from a database and being adding to a listbox. The data that's coming from the database is a unique ID, and a name. Is there any way I can make the item contain both the ID and name? I know I can append it, that's not what I'm looking to do. I need a way to be able to either get the ID, or get the name, while displaying them both.I have gotten as far as creating a class:
Class Item
Property ID as Integer
Property Name as String

I am using Visual Basic 2008 Pro. I am trying to figure out how to bind a set of column headings in a DataSet (or DataGridView) to a ListBox. I want to show the column headers in the listbox control (not the data), and allow users to select one or more items
View 4 RepliesHow would you go toBrowse Forums Users , collect all the users by NAME, display them in a listbox and when clicked go to their profile.
View 1 RepliesI don't usually use VB but now I must for an assignment. I would like to know if it's possible to change the display name for an object on a listbox. For instance, if I add to it a user defined class, there's a way to provide it's display name, instead of converting it to string and then add it.
This is what I have
Dim format As String = FormatOutput(object)
Lista.Items.Add(format)
I would like to have the same output, but instead add the object.
Note: if such is not possible, then how can I associate the list box selection to the actual object? Doing it by index is painfull, because I'm using linked lists (ie., instead of arrays).
Note 2: python has a __str__ method which is called by default when the object is cast to string. Is there anything like it in VB?
I have this code for my "Scan" button: [Code] It displays the FULL PATH for the file into the ListBox1. Then I have a button called "export list of items" and I want to export only the NAMES of the files not the full path. How can I do it?
View 3 RepliesI am working on a VB Console Application that takes an Autocad drawing type DWG and converts it to a PDF using a shell command that calls a third party application. In this case, acmecadconverter.exe from www.dwgtool.com. Then the PDF that is created needs a unique watermark, so I call a second application for that called pdftk.exe from www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/.
Everything works as intended, except when I try file names that contain spaces. The file system object does not tolerate spaces in the drawing file name. For instance, the following command gives me a system.io.filenotfoundexception...
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("Test Flowchart1.dwg", "Test~Flowchart1.dwg")
It's the same problem for all of my File System commands. Either file not found or invalid arguments.
The complete script I'm using is here:
Code:
Sub Main()
Dim arrArgs() As String = Command.Split(","), _
i As Integer, folderPath As String, myPart As String, _

I am attempting to gather a group of file names from a directory. I am able to do this. I tested the code by having the list populate into a listbox and all desired items were added to the list.
Here is my code:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(strPath)
Dim dir1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.txt")
Dim dFiles As IO.FileInfo
ListBox.Items.Add(dFiles)
However, a listbox is not my desired output. I am attempting to write these file names to a text file for purposes of then parsing the information to a datatable to compare with another datatable. How to get my filenames written to a textfile.
i am new to dot net and i have a problem with this code below. what is expected is that the method should add the names in the string in random order into the listbox. but the output shows only single alphabets added rather than the whole name. i don't know where im wrong.can anyone correct me?

How do I get the name of the last file of a set of files with similar set of names? I have sets of files with the similar names beginning with the same characters such as: D1A2-1.jpg, D1A2-2.jpg, D1A2-3.jpg, and D1A2-4.jpg. The set keeps changing (by adding new files of the same set up to it). I want to get the name of the current last file, for example in the set above it should be D1A2-4.jpg. How can I do this in VB2005?
