View 6 RepliesI have a program that works when, a file is opened with it using the right click menu in explorer. But if I select multiple files and then right click and open with my program then it opens multiple instances of my program, instead of just passing the multiple files as arguments to a single instance. The program is written in vb.net but is not a windows form, it is just a module, so I can to tick the Single instance option in the properties in Visual Studio.So how do I open multiple files from explorer context menu in a single instance.

What I mean is if the user resizes the program from looking vertical, to looking horizontal, that the form resizes with it and some parts don't just disappear.

View 2 RepliesSomebody mentioned to me that you could use the webbrowser control to browse for files. Setting the URL parameter to a local folder does this. Now, how to do anything with it, such as get the currently selected file(s)/folder(s), override the default double-click action (like open and save as windows do), and change the view style (details vs. large icon)?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to manipulate files as part of a Document Management application that stores documents in a location on a Network Drives. But the My.Computer.FileSystem.Drives collection does not contain the Network Drives mapped on my machine. I have about half-a-dozen of these, but none of them seem to show up in the Drives collection and thus are not visible to the other FileSystem functionality I need to use for file management.

View 1 RepliesI want to make a program that is similar to Windows Explorer. It will have a button that when you click it it opens a FolderBrowserDialog and it will have an area that displays the contents of the selected folder. I want to have a label that displays the current folder path (i.e. 'USERDocuments...') and I also would like a feature to search all files on the computer.Also, is it possible that when I click on a file in the contents of the selected folder it displays its information (i.e. Name, Size, etc.)? And can I also make it so that if you double click on another folder in the current folder's display it opens that folder? And can I have a button to go up one directory?

I'm trying to move some Subs from my form file (Form1.vb) to a seperate class file to keep my Form1 neat. To complete my application, I plan on creating several more classes that do different things, but that will also be used by Form1.My problem is that even when I add the Inherits command to the seperate class file (Inherits Form1), the Form1 part of the inherits command is underlined in blue along with the names of all the controls I'm using on that form.When I hover my cursor over Form1 in the inherits command, I get the following error:Class 'EmailSample' cannot inherit from itself.I've never been able to get working with seperate class files right, even when I do it as shown in tutorial videos, if it's not an error like this, it's "btnSubmit is not declared" or something like that..
View 11 RepliesSPECS: Visual Basic 2008 - SP1/2, Framework 3.0.3.5, Windows XP Pro, SP3? trying to wright code for checking for existing files but what has me stumped is the (WHAT IF PART) of it witch in fact is what I want to see. What im saying is can I find a file without knowing where it is on all drives? Or how can i find a folder if I dont know where they installed it to.
Example: I know that C:Perfect World International <--- is the default location where my game installs but what if I installed it on D:Perfect World International; or rather on drive G or H. How would I test to see if it exist without making a bunch of nested If statements to test every drive for it.
this also applies to files like: D:Perfect World EntertainmentPerfect World Internationalelementelementclient.exe is there a way to find these files to see if they exist. I know that Perfect world international does not use the program files to put there program files in as you see above. so Envirnment variables I think cant be used correct me if I'm wrong. BUT I know the registry of a computer keeps some stord information as to where these applications are installed to like (References App Data).
What I'm trying to do is use this to tell the user in a Label that the game is installed in this path but I know in some circumstances the game is not installed on drive C: or D: or even in this directory some users can install it in there own directory such as C:PWI. and as such the file elementclient.exe can even be in C:PWIelementclient.exe. So to sum it all up can this be found useing some sort of code to find the file and folder and return them both in 2 difrent labels like this
Game Is Installed In: C:Perfect World International
Game Client Name: elementclient.exe, C:Perfect World Internationalelement
Game Found On Drive: C:
ETC.
I'm thinking and keep thinking that this can be done in many ways but as for environment variables I'm stumped. But perhaps windows registry may play a role in doing this but I myself don't even know where this stuff may be found; and even more how to apply it to code.
In VB.NET, how can I search all hard-drives (regardless of whatever a machine has C, D or more) for specific file types (for example .mp3)? I want the file path to be return along with the file size.

I am trying to create a sort of code library in visual basic where the form displays a list box of certain project files in vb that i have made in the past and when clicked, launches the .exe files of those visual basic program project files.I know it does not work the same way as writing/ reading text files to vb and it seems as simple as 'on click, launch .exe of selected string "vb program 1" and so on. I am having trouble getting started on this one. Im sorry I cannot provide any starter code bc I only have a basic understanding of in/out text files which wont work the same way with .exe
View 1 Replies[Code] each file is about 30 kilobytes in size, and they contain raw hardware statistical information in a comma-deliminted format. I want to do the following with these files as my end-result.
NEWFILE.CVS contains the contents in this format:
metric_group_001 metric_group_002 metric_group_003 metric_group_004 etc.
I don't want APPEND, I want to concatenate the contents of these files into one large master file. I am able to do this MANUALLY, but I need to have a DYNAMIC method of doing this because of the number of files will change depending on the test we are doing with the hardware. This is the code I am using to do this process manually and it does work, but I need a DYNAMIC method in place. [Code]
