VB File Extensions
Hi,
I'm writing a freeware program to format VB code so that it's easier to read and I've downloaded quite a bit of source code to test my program with. The thing is I've come across some file extensions such as .CTL, & .DSR. Are these standard extensions and are there any other extensions that contain text code? So far my program looks for *.BAS, *.CLS, *.CTL, *.DSR, & *FRM.
I've run my program on over 108,000 lines of source code and it (so far) perfectly formats the output.
As soon as I get the extensions issue sorted out I'll place a link to my program on this thread. It's written in VB5 but to keep the size down I won't include the VB runtime files. They can be found at Microsoft.com if you don't already have them.
Thanks,
Tony Kerr

Is there any way to change the file extension of a file from VB?

Certain File Extensions
How can you make the program recognize certain file extentions. And when the files are seen by the program, it will give an error and won't load.
VB Code:
If (Len(Dir$(App.Path & ".txt")) <> 0) ThenMsgBox "You Can't Have .txt Files In The Main Directory." + vbCrLf + vbCrLf + "Delete It To Continue.", vbCritical, "Detected"EndEnd If
Sort of like this. But it doesn't work.
File Extensions Under XP
I haven't had a chance to get my hands on XP yet, but I need users to know how to change their file extensions to use my program.
My help file reads:
Windows defaults to hiding file extensions, however, so you must go into Windows Explorer or
My Computer and from the menu, select View | Folder Options | View | and uncheck "Hide file
extensions for known file types". In Windows ME and Windows 2000, "Hide file extensions for
known file types" is located under Tools | Folder Options | View. Once the file extensions are
visible, you can then change the file extensions on your quizzes.
Can any one who has XP tell me how you get there in XP?
thanks
File Extensions
OK, you know how certain file extensions have certain programs to go with them? As an example, write a text file. Save it, and then double click that file. What program opens? Most likely, notepad.
Now, it is something in the registry, i know this, that dictates which file extensions connect to which programs. (I guess it may be in the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" secion (just a though))
Now, all i need, is to know how to do this with... whatever file extension i want.
So as an example, i want to be able to write a text editor, and program it so that when i specifically double click on any one ".txt" file and it will open my little text editor, and open that file in it.
Now, if any daring programmers can figure this one out for me, i will be very grateful.

File Extensions
Okay, the application needs to be able to create files. Fundamentally, the files in question are Text files that are used to store information. However, for the sake of streamlining the processes that read the file, the datafiles in question need their own extension. So, how do I:
1) Create a file extension?
2) Pass the extension on with the application?
File Extensions
I have a process whereby filenames are datestamped.
Each file(all in same directory) has a .dat extension.
How can i automate re-naming file extension to .zip?
The name statement does not allow wildcards else i would use that.
Change File Extensions
I am trying to have all files in a folder change their file extension to .zip. Presumably using FSO, as the NAME statement cannot handle wildcards. e.g: Name "C:/vbfiles/*.*" As " C:/vbfiles/*.zip" Does anyone know how to code this using fsoObjects?
Renaming File Extensions
How do I go about changing the file extensions of files in a specified folder?
For example, there's the files img01.jpg, wall90.jpeg, abcd.jpeg and 02.gif in a folder. I want the program to change all the .jpeg files to .jpg and leave the rest alone. How do I do that?
Thanks.
Custom File Extensions
How do you create your own custom file extensions for your program? Or is it a ton more complicated than "making" one? THanks.
Question About File Extensions...
Is there any way to have my VB application check to see if a certain file extension is already registered and if it's registered to my program. If it's not registered to my program, registering it to my program should be an option with my program's icon. If the extension doesn't exist at all, it should be automatically created.
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks!
Changing All File Extensions In Same DIR
How would i go about changing all the files (with same extension) to a different extension, which would be in the same directory?
EG a list of, say 10 files in .doc format are in the same folder as the program. i want to be able to run the program, set what extension to change them to (.txt) and the click a button to change them simultaneously.
thanks in advance
FindWindow (with File Extensions)
I'm running into the following situation using the following FindWindow API:
Code:
Private Declare Function FindWindowA Lib "user32" (ByVal lpClassname As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Dim hwnd1
hwnd1 = FindWindowA("XLMAIN", "Microsoft Excel - SMART")
On systems where the user elected to "show file extensions", the window handle depicts these extensions...
i.e.
Code:
hwnd1 = FindWindowA("XLMAIN", "Microsoft Excel - SMART.xls")
Not knowing whether this "show file extensions" is selected on the user's system, can anyone recommend an approach to handle this? Or, is there an easy way to check for the "show file extensions" option so I can wrtie the FindWindow accordingly?
Thanks,
Scarecrow
Deleting Certain File Extensions

Filtering On File Extensions
MS Excel 2003:
I'm using the filedialog method in MS Excel to open other MS Excel spreadsheets.
I'm using
filters.Add "name", "wildcard"
To get the right filter into the dialog box and that works fine. The problem is - the filter only accepts *.extension or *.*.
I'm hoping to use partial file names in the dialog box to filter out files that are not relevant to the client.
EG
branch1-abc.xls
branch1-def.xls
branch2-abc.xls
so when branch 1 opens a file, the dialog box presents "branch1*.xls". The filter won't accept this. Any idea's?
The '?' placeholder would be good too so I could do "branch?-abc.xls" across all branches.
I really don't want to code my own dialog box.
Code:
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
fd.InitialFileName = "h:maps"
fd.Filters.Add "Excel", "*.xls", 27
fd.FilterIndex = 27
If fd.Show = -1 Then
MsgBox fd.SelectedItems(1), vbOKOnly
Else
'cancel clicked
End If

File Extensions - Automated?
Hello
Ive found the code on how to put all file extensions into a listbox in the Codebank from this forum, what i really could do with is some method of letting the user specify the file types shown without having to hard code values in.
For example if the user selects the "All Image Files" and it will display all the image extensions available to the system. I could do this manually, but id have to find out all the available movie / image / and other file extensions and hard code a parser to only display these types, possible but i was hoping there was a way of doing it to save this and make it adapt automatically to each persons system.
Hope i explained that okay
Thanks, Gavin

Testing For Certain File Extensions...
I have loaded two files, eg, file1.txt and file2.txt into two separate variables of type string.
If the file has one of the following extensions (.EXE, .COM, .SYS, .OBJ, .LIB, or .BIN.) , I need it to set a certain checkbox value to 1 (that is, check the checkbox).
If the file does not have one of the above extensions, I need to set a different checkbox to a value of 1.
How do I do this?
Extensions (of The File Variety)

Help Needed With File Extensions
The VB program that I have created has a file type .xyz. Obviously this is not recognised by Windows. How do I make Windows associate .xyz with my Program.
I know how to do it manualyy, but I want that during installation of my program the extension .xyz should be associated with my program.
Also after maually doing it, i have a slight problem. Now windows associates .xyz with the program but when i click on a file having .xyz extension it just opens my program but does not do the editing operation. in other words on clicking the file the program starts but the editor inside the program does not .
how do i solve this?
Thanking you in advance
