This has been irritating me for a good 2 hours now. I'm creating a simple application that takes each line in a listbox and creates a directory for each line. This seems so simple, but it's really annoying me. Once again, (just in case the above was confusing) I want to take ALL lines (each individual one) and create directories (folders) for each individual line in the listbox.
View 4 RepliesIf I set a ListBox.Height = ListBox.PreferredHeight when the control is hidden and IntegralHeight = True, then set it visible:
a) Actual Height reduces by typically 3-5 pixels after redraw (but not 1 pixel per item).
b) PreferredHeight does not not appear to give the correct integral of item heights.
Is there a way to make ListBox calculate the correct integral Height before the ListBox is made visible, so it can be correctly pre-positioned from bottom edge?
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
ListBox1.Visible = False

I'm working on a project and im at a point i just cant figure out.I have the user select a directory using a FolderBrowserDialog and it saves the path to a string (Dim strFolderPath as string) and i want every .exe in the folder added to a listbox, but im not sure how to do a for each or if thats even what you need to do here.
pseudocode (Might Help understand what im asking)
For each .exe in path strFolderPath
listbox1.items.add(exename)
[code].....
Dim sDirs() As String
Dim i As Integer
sDirs = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(txtPath.Text)
For i = 0 To 5
ListBox1.Items.Add(sDirs(i))
Next
Lists the first 6 dirs it finds.
But how can i get the last listed dir into a varible so i can use its location?
How do I show a directory into my form, or -optional- filter it on file types?

The idea is to click Button1, for it to open a browser window, then select 1 or more files from a directory and add them to ListBox1.Currently I'm using a very basic method that adds all files from a directory to my ListBox

I'm trying to make a program that will list all the sub-directories in a directory then list all the files in a sub directory in another listbox when you select a directory from the first listbox, what I am stuck on is listing the folders.

Dim arrFilesInFolder() As IO.FileInfo
Dim fileInFolder As IO.FileInfo

This code lists all the files in a directory but not the folders, I want it to do the complete opposite.
I have it set so when button3 is clicked that the listbox displays the textfiles in a designated folder.[code]Now what I would like to have happen is a way for: Selected listbox2.item (A.txt, B.txt, or C.txt) read the selected textfile into Textbox1.text(I want to click on A, B, or C and have it just open/read that textfile into the textbox.)I have a feeling this is something simple - but for some reason I am having trouble grasping it.

My knowledge of VB.net is limited (only have been reading from the book)
so what i need to do for my project is to populate a listbox with files from a certain directory (C:folder)
then once it's populated, i can select an item and it will open up in a rich text box.
This is what i have so far for the active directory > list box:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktopfolder")
Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo

I want to add all image files in the current directory into my listbox1 when i press button1 Just like how u may open by OpenFileDialog or Drag & Drop but I want it to move all .jpg files in the current directory into the listbox so i do not have to use OpenFileDialog or Drag & Drop I am not sure how I can do this and the only code I could think about using is something linking to current directory.
View 3 Repliesmy knowledge of VB.net is limited and i'm really trying hard to figure this problem out...
what i did was create a list box and populate it with a directory ("C:Documents and Settingsuserfolder1")...
once the listbox displays the files from the directory, i want to select a certain file and that file will be opened up in a rich text box.What i found to display the directory in a listbox is:

Dim files As String

I would like to display over 20 items in a listbox under about 10 headings. As you can imagine, with the varying lengths of each cell, this looks pretty messy. For example, if a name is long, it takes both the space under the name heading and the number heading.
How can I avoid that while still use listboxes, and NOT DataGridview! I'm having an awful amount of trouble with Grids!! I would like something simple yet neat.. Can't I have columns or dividers in listboxes?
