Sending Files/Shortcuts To Recycle Bin
Hello Everyone!
I would like to know if there's any coding to delete all files/shortcuts in a folder temporarily (i.e. sending to recycle bin), when you don't know the name of files.
During the running of my program i am saving certain data in files and making shortcuts in a folder, but once the form is closed i'd like to delete all the files and provide the user a feature to delete those shortcuts if they want to.
And there's one more thing i would like to know.......how can i restore files from recycle bin? Its not related to the program but its just another thing i would like to keep in mind.
Nd I'm A Beginner in Visual Basic and using VB 6.0 at the moment.
Thanks in advance!
I really appreciate it!

Restoring Files From XP Recycle Bin
I have the code to restore files from the Windows 98 bin but with XP/2000 the system appears not to store the files in the same way. I can read the file info for NTFS files stored in the bin and use this to list the files but cannot find a way of restoring the files themselves.
Delete Files To Recycle Bin
I have been using the kill command to delete files but would like to have them available in the recycle bin. I found code
public Sub RemoveFile(FileName as string)
Dim SHop as SHFILEOPSTRUCT
Dim strFile as string
strFile = FileName
With SHop
.wFunc = FO_DELETE
.pFrom = strFile
.fFlags = FOF_ALLOWUNDO
End With
SHFileOperation SHop
End Sub
which is supposed to do the job. However, it only deletes the file with no copy in the recycle bin. What am I missing?

.lnk Files (shortcuts)
I am using Installshield (i think its 3.x as is on diff comp and too lazy to check ) and it allows u to create shortcuts that appear on the desktop and program menu.
This is all well and good except that:
1. the created lnk file should normally allow the user to edit the target, shortcut key, icon etc if they rightclick on the desktop icon, select properties and select the shortcut tab.
2. the version created thru installshield disables (greys) all entries and command buttons on the shortcut tab of the properties form as per the example pic.
Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it 'within' Installshield? As far as i can see IS doesnt give u access to the scripts .. so i dunno if can be fixed there.
Thanks
How To Make Shortcuts Of Files In Windows
I would like to be able to create shortcuts to different files in windows with VB. Is there a way to do this through VB itself, or does it have to be done through a shell script?
I Mean ASSOCIATE Files With Programs... Not Create Shortcuts
Not creating shortcuts... I mean ASSOCIATE... Like when you click on a ZIP file, it opens with WinZip... Or when you click on a DOC file, it opens with Word, or a WPD opens with WordPerfect. That's what I mean. How do I do this from within my program?
Extracting Text From Lines In Files - And Opening .url Shortcuts
Ok, using vb6 I am trying to Open a .url file with my program. I dont know how to "load" the file into the browser window like you would say a text document into a RTF ,,,
Or, i thought, if I loaded the .url as text and pulled out the http:// from some type of ini command, and simply "navigate" the text output.
(To explain the .url shortcut, it basically has a section named [internet shortcut] and then an intry called url= and then the HTTP name. I would need to output the text after the url= part)
So how could I either load a .url shortcut into the app, or pull the text out of the .url ? Is there another way ? Please help :-)
Thank you very much for your time, as Your efforts have built the modern computing world. Sincerly,

aight.. i send the file and it works fine.. but if i try to send another file rite after its complete it will only send the first 1 or 2 chunks then stop... i have to reopen the form to send again..can someone figure out y?
heres what im using:
Code:
Private Sub SendNextChunk()
'
Dim hFile As Long
Dim lngChunkSize As Long
Dim strData As String
On Error Resume Next
lngChunkSize = LOF(hFile) + 1 - lngFilePos
'lngChunkSize = LOF(hFile) + 1 - lngFilePos
' If we're not currently connected and transferring, exit. This shouldn't
' happen, but just in case...
If (Not blnTransferring) Then Exit Sub
'
' Open the file that we're sending, for BINARY mode. This means that we can
' read out bits regardless of what's in the file (text, image, music etc..).
hFile = FreeFile
Open strFilename For Binary As #hFile
'
' We need to read the next unsent piece of the file, so move through the
' file past all the bits we've already sent. Then, when we read into
' strData, the data will be the next consecutive bytes.
If (lngFilePos = 0) Then lngFilePos = 1
Seek hFile, lngFilePos
'
' Work out how large this chunk is going to be. Normally, it will be the
' standard CHUNK_SIZE, but if the last piece is less than that, decrease it.
lngChunkSize = LOF(hFile) + 1 - lngFilePos
If (lngChunkSize > CHUNK_SIZE) Then lngChunkSize = CHUNK_SIZE
'
' If the chunksize was 0, it means there's no data left to send, so our
' transfer is complete.
If (lngChunkSize = 0) Then
'
' Send the EOF marker so the remote host knows that's all the data.
strData = "EOF"
blnTransferring = False
Call lstEvents.AddItem("0 bytes, transfer completed. Sending EOF.")
'
' Send the data to the remote host.
Call tcpServer.SendData(strData)
DoEvents
'
Else
'
' Grab the data from the file, and increment our file pointer so that next
' time we read, we are reading the next piece of the file.
strData = String$(lngChunkSize, 0)
Get #hFile, , strData
lngFilePos = lngFilePos + lngChunkSize
'
' Send the data to the remote host.
Call tcpServer.SendData(strData)
Call lstEvents.AddItem("Sent " & lngChunkSize & " bytes")
DoEvents
'
End If

Close #hFile

Sending Files To FTP
I am currently trying to take a file and send it to an ftp. The code I am using looks like it should work, but if any of you know why it isn't, a response would be very beneficial.
itt1.UserName = "jason"
itt1.Password = "bobo1"
itt1.Execute "FTP://65.89.79.75", "DIR /*"
itt1.Execute "FTP://" & ftmtechinfo.txtIP, _
"SEND c:vbjpegcalmdown.jpg /calmdown.jpg"
This FTP allows me to read and write with that login. In addition, if someone could show me the code of how to send a whole folder then, as opposed to just an individual file, I would be ecstatic.

Ftp Sending Files
Hello,
I just started programming Visual Basic (my learning book is almost finished).
I've created a chat application. I have used the WinSock control. Everything works just fine. There is enough help on this control.
Now I'm wonndering if there is a possibility to send and receive files. Does Visual Basic have a control for this? I can't find anything about the subject in the help files.
(I can't be done by the WinSock control I believe).
Is there some kind of ftp control?
Thank in advance,

Sending Files To LPT
I need to send some files to printers connected to LPT(1, 2, 3, ...) and COM(1, 2, 3, ...). These printers are not installed in windows, so I can only send the files straight to the ports. I have found some code in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q154078/), but I suppose this only works when the printer is installed in windows. I need some similar code to send raw data to LPT and COM. Or would some API filecopy statement work? As what do I refer to the printer then (source & destination, what to use as destination? LPT1:?).
Thanks for your help here!!!
Kind regards,

but for large files it doesnt work, anyone known of any better ways?

Dialing And Sending Files.
I have a program, that currently checks for a internet connection, if found, sends files over ftp, if not found, then it creates a new dun, and dials it.
The problem is..... A lot of windows 98/xp/2000 machines are using lan, and LAN overides a phone/modem connection.
So when people try to send, it doesnt create a connection.
The fix is.... run INETWIZ, and select connecting using modem.
Not such a bad problem, but when its 20% of 1000's of people, its big.
Any suggestions on a better way to send files?
I was looking into mscomm, but not sure into how it works.
ALSO, these clients, are dialing into a windows 2000 RAS server
Im really just looking for a better way to establish a connection and send files. And I want it to work on every machine, generic...
Thanks for any help.
Sending Files Question
OK I have a program where I want to send a user files when they click the Get Data command button. I want to send them all of the files in a certain directory and if they have the same named file in their directory I want vb to rename it. All the files in the sending/receiving directory are numbers from 1 onwards. These numbers are checked and stored in a variable called FileNum when the form is loaded. Any ideas on how to go about this would be much appreciated. Thanks. =D
Sending Files Without Any Programs
On download.com I found a really cool application. It claims to be able to send files over a windows 2000 (or NT, I don't really remember) network without the recipient having to download or open any programs.
I did a quick search, but couldn't find anything, but the program says to flash an icon in the system tray when a message or file arrives. I was just wondering if that is possible. It doesn't seem like it because it might pose a huge security risk...

Winsock (Sending Files)
Im using the code from CVMichael on this post http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=377648
to send files from my program to the server program.
The program was setup to send only text files, and i used that program as a patcher to update the client to the newest EXE file when i made one.
Now ive run into another problem.. Right now, all but 1 file are text files, so i was able to do this myself using CVMichael's program to send the 1 file. But i recently found out that my program now has to start sending pictures, and very very soon there will be several pictures being sent through my program so i figured i would change it up so that i would use CVMichael's code instead of mine for all files, but i got a problem..
His files will only send 1 at a time, then you have to do it again. Well i copied all the controls and code from his program and threw it into the forms i already had on my client and server. But its not working. At first only the very first file would send, then i found an error in my code and changed it and now only the last file sends. So i found that error and now NO files will send!!!
Here's my code for sending the files:
Code:
Open App.Path & "ImageList.dat" For Input As #1
Do
Input #1, CurFile
txtFileName.Text = CurFile
Select Case CurFile
Case Is = App.Path & "q.dw"
Label1.Caption = "Updating Basic Questions"
Case Is = App.Path & "JobSpec.dw"
Label1.Caption = "Updating Job Specific Questions"
Case Is = App.Path & "Prod.dw"
Label1.Caption = "Updating Products"
Case Is = App.Path & "ProdPrice.dw"
Label1.Caption = "Updating Prices"
Case Is = Environ("windir") & "systemdw.dat"
Label1.Caption = "Updating Global Settings"
Case Else
Label1.Caption = "Sending Product Images"
End Select
SendFile txtFileName.Text
Loop Until EOF(1)
Close #1
Basically my program will load up, and when the user chooses to update the server, it will load the update form, and throw all the files its going to update into ImageList.dat
Then it will run cmdConnect_Click which contains the code i just posted before this.
If you need any more code let me know, i'll post whatever... This is frustrating!
Winsock - Sending Files
Hey,
I know how to send data using winsock.. but how would I send a file?
Basically I need some way to display a progress indicator (e.g x out of x kb transfered) while sending a file from the client to the server, then the server would save the file in a certain location.
It will be mainly used for pictures so I guess I would need to read the file in binary mode, but I am only used to reading/writing text files using FSO.
Could anyone help me out a little please?
Oh, and I am not sure about this but I read somewhere that I would not be able to send the whole file in one part, I would need to split it - is this true?
Thanks,
Tom
Sending Files Over Winsock
Client connects to server.
sends request to send the file.
server opens the requested file (in binary mode?), loops through it puts it all in a variable (a byte?) then sends it to the client
client receives the byte, opens a new file as binary mode then puts that byte inside it.
Is this how it works?
