Windows File Explorer.. Icon View And List View.
I'm trying to duplicate a function of the explorer.. The folder contents view.
See example of what I mean...
http://www.ibarn.net/fun/files/thumblist.jpg
I can do everything I need using the filelistbox with the sole exception of changing the display style. I don't want a file list, I want a list-view or icon-view. (Preferably both, with the option to switch between them.)
So my question to you fine people is...... what API or component could I find this capacity in? I've looked at all of the components and didn't see anything that looked close, and a search on the subject yeilds hundreds of people trying to emulate the "filemanager" explorer style, but none trying to kick out a normal, boring icon view like this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Windows Explorer View
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to make a tree view hierarchy of my local file system that looks like the hierarchy in Windows Explorer XP.
If so, is there a way to double click a certain file or folder in this tree view and move that directory address to a listbox? Thank you all in advance. These forums look awesome and I'm looking forward to learning and helping everyone. THANKS!

Ordering Columns In A List View

Listview Columns In List View
I am trying to use Listview to import data from an Access table and I only want to use the list view not the list report. The data imports OK and populates the list OK into (in this case with the quantity of data imported) 4 columns.
Trouble is, all the data is truncated and I can find no way of setting the column widths as you can in the normal list box. I do not have any sub-items, just a single list so I do not need to set up any column headers.
Tree View Like Windows Explorer?
I must make a tree view application look like Windows Explorer where all contents are entered at runtime and items can be named when and where a node is inserted, like Explorer. Is there an example out there that mimics the features of Explorer? Thanks.
Program: Set Explorer Windows To Same View
I am trying to think of a way of creating a basic program with a button.. when clicked it will set my Windows explorer windows to display in the same view each time.
i.e. -
- From the View menu, click Folder Options.
- Click the View tab.
- Click Like Current Folder, click Yes to confirm, and click OK.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could code this? Or has anyone got any examples to share?
Thanks in advance for any help

List View Select - Multiple Columns

When I selected the file I return the file name, but if i want to retrieve the properties regarding the file i need the extension which is in column 2...
This will get the information in column 1 (File Name)
Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(DirList.List(DirList.ListIndex) & "" & lstFileList.SelectedItem.Text)

Sorting On DATE Columns In MS List View
Does anybody know how to get this to work?
The listview seems only capable of accepting strings as it's items so dates have to be converted to text and therefore are sorted as text.
How can I get around this?

List View Sort In Date Order
Hi everyone, I'm stumped... maybe someone has an answer in this forum.
I have a listview that has 3 columns, one of them is just a simple description, the other is a numeric name, and the third is a date. I need to be able to sort in descending order when clicking on the header of each column. The description field is no problem, I just use listview.sort. The problem is when I try to sort dates, if I use the same thing I get 8/01/01 before 12/01/01 because 8 comes after 1 alphabetically... is there anyway to do this? I can only think of clearing the listview, sort the dates and then load them to the listview again, but that would take too long... and it seems like going the long way about it.
Please help!

Can I Sort A List View By A Numeric Field
I have a list view which I populate at run time, including creating the column headers. I don't know exactly what the columns are going to be at design time.
I want the column to be sortable when a user clicks on the column header but a list view uses a text sort by default, so in a numeric column 99 will appear to be higher then 100. Normally I'd get around this by hiding a column with the numeric values left padded with zeros and then sort by that instead but, due to the dynamic nature of the columns, that's going to be a bit of a nightmare to manage.
Does anyone know of a way I can 'tell' the column it's a numeric so that it sorts in a numeric fashion, or maybe override the sort algorithm myself?
Cheers

Sort An Array Like &"Sort By Name&" In Windows Explorer
I want to sort an array I created the same way it would be sorted if the contents of the array were files in a folder and I right-clicked and hit Sort by Name.
The contents of my array (Files()) are filenames starting with a number and then they may or may not have a trailing letter.
Example Files():
Files(0) = 1
Files(1) = 2
Files(2) = 2a
Files(3) = 3
Files(4) = 4
Files(5) = 5
Files(6) = 6
Files(7) = 7
Files(8) = 8
Files(9) = 9
Files(10) = 10
Files(11) = 10a
Files(12) = 10b
Files(13) = 11
Currently, when I output the array it would show it like this:
1, 10, 10a, 10b, 11, 2, 2a, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
I want it to show like this:
1, 2, 2a, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10a, 10b, 11
So basically I want it to sort by the numerical value and then by the trailing letter. The "Sort by Name" windows explorer sort feature would sort those exactly how I want them, but VB doesn't.
How would I go about doing that?
Mimic Windows Explorer File View
Is there an ActiveX control or other, that I can insert onto a form and it will display files/directories like in Explorer (right window)? I understand how to use the API commands to handle files, I just need a control to display them. The FileListBox does not work for me as it does not contain Icons nor the capabilities associated with Explorer.
Launching Windows Explorer With View: Details

Imitating Windows Explorer's Thumbnail View In A Form
Greetings!
I have a client who has put forth the requirement that I provide him a screen with a Windows Explorer-style thumbnail view of all images in a given directory. The idea is to let the user see thumbnails of images that relate to the record they are currently viewing on a form.
I've tried the FileListBox control, and can't seem to find a way to get it to do a thumbnail view. Is there a way to do it, or do I need to use another control?

How To Implement Windows Explorer Style File List

Windows Vista Shell/Explorer List Control
Hello,
I need to include a file browsing component in my program. What I need is similar to the ListView control in comctl32.ocx.
However, I need it to have the Windows Vista style, and the ability to set the icon size from 16 x 16 to 256 x 256 (like the Common Dialog controls in Vista). Additionally, Windows (Vista) Explorer, and the Common Dialog controls, have highlights when you mouse-over a icon.
Does anyone know how to do this? I have researched this, and it seems that this is done through shell32.dll, with the SHCreateShellFolderView declare.
I found this on the internet, which appeared to be what I want, but it doesn't have the Vista styles:

I would appreciate any assistance or advice.

Need Bubble Sort To Read Two Seperate Text Files And Sort Data Into One List
I have two seperate text files, have to read the data from both, such as:
(file one)
2, Tom
5, Bill
3, Tony
7, Charlotte
1, Pedro
etc.
(file two)
6, Penelope
8, Joann
4, Mark
10, Jose
9, Gerald
etc.
Then open, read and sort the two files, then put that data into combined order (by the number) to come out as one list:
1, Pedro
2, Tom
3, Tony
4, Mark
5, Bill
6, Penelope
7, Charlotte
8, Joann
9, Gerald
10, Jose
etc.
My exposure so far with Bubble Sort has been comparing and sorting words that were entered into text boxes. That is the only code I have and does not match this current scenario. Need help with code on opening both files simultaneously and then bubble sorting. I know this needs to be an array.
Can someone tell me what to do or show a similar example I could follow? Thank you for any help.

Sort By Different Columns
How do I get a listview in report view to sort in ascending or descending order by the column that is clicked. I tried:
Code:
Private Sub Listview_ColumnClick()
With Listview
If (.SortOrder = lvwAscending) Then
.SortOrder = lvwDescending
Elseif (.SortOrder = lvwDescending) Then
.SortOrder = lvwAscending
Endif
End With
End Sub
but that sorts by the first column no matter which column you click on. Do I have to rearrange the column indexes whenever a column is clicked or what?

Visual Basic List View Control To View Network Computers
Hi,
I am working on simple network connect utility and ready with the functinality. But I am stuck at a very important aspect of the GUI where I need a List View Control that will view the computers from the available LAN domains. And will let us select a particular computer on expanding the domain List Item. If not a list view then a treeview rather.
Also will this control let me select a NETWORK COMPUTER ONLY but not shared folders on its individual drives. Only computers has to be selected. Not the nodes (folders) shared at them.
Thanks.

List View PopUp Prob (lvwIcon View) *Resolved*
Hi all,
I have a listview in large icon view (lvwIcon). I have a popup menu displaying some options when the user right clicks an item that is specific for that item.
My question is this -
I want a different popup menu to show when the user right-clicks on a blank area of the listview which would display general options.
In my testing, whenever a blank area is clicked, the selected item is the first item (if none had been selected) or the current selected item (if one had already been selected).
I currently use the selecteditem.text to determine what pop up menu is to be used.
I guess in theory the code might be something like ;
Code:
If lvwMain.SelectedItem = Nothing then
PopupMenu mnuGeneral
Else
PopupMenu mnuSpecific
End If
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Vba Sort Columns And Print
Hi
Below is sum vba coding which is used to print out a new file according to the first letter of a title column! so bascially i will get a-z.htm files and each file will have the same letter titles listed in them, so all the 'a' titles will go to the a.htm file, 'b' titles to b.htm etc (hope that made sense)!
i have 2 problems with this
1. I need sum vba coding that will sort the title column in alphabetical order before it prints to files!
2. when it prints each title to its file i want the whole list to print! but in this case it keeps overwriting the file so i get only the last one line printed in each file!
this is a little section of my coding:-
rs.Open strSQL, strConnect
Open "C:vbdbindex_A.htm" For Output As #1
strA = "A"
rs.MoveFirst
Do Until rs.EOF
strRecno = rs.Fields("Recno").Value
strTitle = rs.Fields("Title").Value
strId = "<a href='{$url}MyLibrary/PILS/azindex.php?page=" & strRecno & "'>" & strTitle & "</a>" & "<br>"
strB = UCase(Left(strTitle, 1))
MsgBox (strB)
If strA = strB Then
Print #1, strId
Else
Close #1
Open "C:vbdbindex_" & strB & ".htm" For Output As #1
Print #1, strId
End If
rs.MoveNext
Loop
Close #1
can any1 help pls?

Explorer Columns
I need to know where Windows Explorer keeps it's settings for which columns are displayed. To see what I mean, open up Windows Explorer, click the View menu, and select "Choose Columns." You can choose which columns are displayed, their order, and their width. I can't find the settings in the registry...but then again I don't know what in the registry to look for. If you know where these settings are saved PLEASE let me know.
Thanks!
