Browse, Open File

[PureSc0pe]

I am trying to make the results of what I Browse to show up in a TextBox. I don't want to actually open anything, just have the location of the selected file displayed in a TextBox.

 

VB Code:

 

Dim ofDialog As New OpenFileDialog

 

With ofDialog

.InitialDirectory = "C:\list.txt"

.Filter = "textfiles|*.txt"

 

If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then

End If

End With

ShowDialog.TextBox2. '(<--- Need this part)

Use the FileName property of the dialog.

TextBoxName.Text = ofDialog.FileName

Now that the subject is started, I want to basically do the same as PureSc0pe... But, I want to be able for the end-user to be able to select a directory/folder in which he or she reads/writes files from. How can I accomplish this...

 

e.g. "C:\Program Files\MyData\"

 

I want the preferences form to show the current/selected directory in which the files are writtento/read from that particular directory.

Use the FileName property of the dialog.

TextBoxName.Text = ofDialog.FileName

 

Works...Thanks again.

You can use FolderBrowserDialog class from the Windows.Forms namespace. That dialog lets you select directories.
