For some time I've noticed how much the File Open and File save dialogs vary between Windows itself and Applications. In Delphi for example (which I use) you can use the built-in dialogs (which have a folder tree) and direct calls to the Windows API which produce variants of the Windows version, with or without large buttons for 'Desktop...
Core of the problem: I receive "(0x80070002) The system cannot find the file specified" for roughly 8 to 9 seconds before it can open it successfully. In a nutshell, we have two com components. Component A calls into Component B and asks for a UNC filename to write to - the filename returned doesn't exist yet, but the path does - it th...
I'm just getting started on some programming to handle filenames with non-english names on a WinXP system. I've done some recommended reading on unicode and I think I get the basic idea, but some parts are still not very clear to me. Specifically, what encoding (UTF-8, UTF-16LE/BE) are the file names (not the content, but the actual nam...

So how can I open them all in a single loop one aft...

If FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath = Nothing = True Then Button1.Enabled = False If FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath =...
I would like to open a file and read a line from it. There will be only one line in the file so I don't really need to worry about looping, although for future reference it would be nice to know how to read multiple lines. int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) { // argv[1] holds the file name from the command prompt int numbe...
