I'd like the new style open dialog, but with an encoding combobox that I can fill with custom strings. Basically I want the exact open dialog that Notepad shows under Vista. Of course I also need the co...
I have an WinMo app and I would like to open a file from the storage card. The file is NOT in the root but within the folder structure. I thought OpenFileDialog would do the trick just as it does under regular .NET. But it does not offer me to navigate over the folders. I looks really lame. Or am I just outstandingly stupid? ...
For any custom dialog (form) in a WinForm application I can set its size and position before I display it with: form.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual; form.DesktopBounds = MyWindowPosition; This is particularly important when dealing with multiple monitors. Without such code, when you open a dialog from an application that you...

I need my application to ask the user to browse to a particular file, save that files location and subsequently write a string from a TextBox to it.

A while back I wrote a silverlight user control which had a csv import/export feature. This has been working fine, until recently I discovered it erroring in one scenario. This may have been due to moving to Silverlight 3. The Error: Message: Unhandled Error in Silverlight 2 Application Code: 4004 Category: ManagedRuntimeError Message:...

In MFC, is there an Open Folder Dialog? That is, rather than choosing a filename, it chooses a folder name? Ideally, I'd like it to be the way Visual Studio does it when navigating for a "Project Location" (when creating a new project), which looks very much like a normal file dialog. But I could make do with one of the vertical tree sor...

When the user selects a file from the OpenFileDialog, the file path should be displayed in the text...

Just scroll to end. // files is created by a OpenFileDialog. public void Function(String[] files, ...) { for(int i; i<files.Length; i++) { WriteLine("File " + i + "/" + files.Length + " being processed."); //... processing for a long time and printing information to console ... }...
One can get the text of the selected item in the list-view of a common dialog. But one can NOT get its PIDL, and if the user has chosen to hide known extensions (the default), then one cannot really tell what file was selected without either its extension or its PIDL. So possible ways to solve this might be: Obtain an IShellView fr...
