I am trying to make an app that launches a window(Form Window) whenever a user click a folder in Windows. My app will be running in the background all the time and it will be monitoring the double click of a particular folder.
I have found this[URl]..But the problem is that, it checks attributes of the folder instead of the double click.
Is there anyway i can check the double click of a folder in Windows?
My program needs to monitor two folders and if any files arrives in any of those it needs to be processed.So i created two filewatch tasks & the OnChanged event for both This does not work when the files are already in the folders before i start to run my program.It works for just the new files coming in.having a for each loop files loop in the onChanged event will this work I would like to know what's the best way to achieve this
View 1 RepliesI am going to be creating an application which will monitor a folder, which could be a network folder and when new files are added in that folder it will notify the application. On notification application will import those files names into a listbox and will give the option to user to organize(move) those files into a different directory.
1. I have to implement a logic for monitoring the new files in the folder.
2. I have to move it into new directory and in some cases I will have to create those new directories as user specify.
For the first step I am confused to either implement it as a windows service using FileSystemWatcher class, example can be seen here. [URL] or do a file check based on timer, lets say every 5 minutes. If I do it as a service how can the service notify application?
I have to create a windows service which Monitors a specified folder for new files and does someprocessing on it and moves it to other location. I started with using FileSystem Watcher. But my boss doesn't like FileSystemWatcher and wants me to use polling on Timer or any other mechanism other than File System Watcher.

View 1 Repliesjust a newbie programmer here. With 1 week experience in VB2008. I'd like to ask for assistance on making one of these inventory systems concepts. I hear its one of the basic programs a newbie can make. This will be made for students financial monitoring. Like how much they should pay in an event. Of course will be needing to input student names and event names.
So I'd like to ask could you give me tips on what to do first?*Set aside the database stuff first.
Like the main window, or a sample of a form to which I could encode and update entry payments for students.Am not asking for codes here just samples of forms or softwares I could get some ideas.

View 6 RepliesI have created a Windows service in VS 2005 that monitors a folder for XML files, reads some data elements from the XML using XmlDocument, then copies the files to another location. I find that when I drop 2 or more XML files into the folder simultaneously, it processes them with no problems, but when I drop the same files into the folder one at a time, I will get an error on the second file: "The process cannot access the file <my file> because it is being used by another process." If I stop my service, restart it, and drop the second file into the folder again, it works the second time. I am confident that no other program is accessing this file at the same time as my service. My impression is that the processing of file # 1 is somehow not releasing all of the resources, leading to the processing of file # 2 mistakenly thinking that it can't access that second file.
Dim FileWatcher As New FileSystemWatcher()
It points the watcher to my folder, sets up an event handler, then enables the watching:
FileWatcher.Path = InputFolderPath

I'm trying to make a custom skin maker for a program I'm working for. The concept is, you provide all the images needed for the program in a folder and then load that folder into the program which then sorts out each image in their respective areas. I know how to load files, but instead of making the user load the files one by one I'd like them to be able to load them from a folder.On a related note, I'd also like to know if it was possible to allow my users to move their controls around the program. For example, say they'd like their exit button in a different location as it'd look nicer with their skin, is there a way to allow them to move it? Particularly, it'd be nice to have a check box that enabled or disabled the ability to drag them around so they don't accidentally drag it when trying to click it.Also, how could I save their changes to this skin so it'd load up the same every time without overriding the default skin.
Finally, I have a piece of code that allows me to drag the form around as it has no normal border but I have a button that keeps it on top at all times, I'd like that button to also disable the ability to move the program while active and restore the mobility once clicked again. Here is the code used to move the program if that helps any.
