hi,
i've created a simple MP3 player that takes over .mp3 files by registering a new filetype. It works fine for single files but if i select multiple files it opens every file in a new player. How can i fix that?
I have a code to determine if there is another player allready opened, if so the program closes itself, but i can't figure out how to send a mp3 file path to the opened player so it can add that file to the playlist.
I tried sending a message (System.Windows.Forms.Message), before closing the player so that it could be cought with the IMessageFilter by the opened player but i don't know exactely how to do that so no luck there..
please help..
Thanks.

In my opinion, you should load all multiple file that you select in any list view and loop it one by one to play in your player.

There really isn't a conversion tool for this that's worth anything. You're best bet is to recreate the form from scratch. You can probably get away with copy and pasting code between the two, but in most cases, you'll end up rewriting it anyway. There are objects that you use that are either not available in VB6 or are available, but the code is represented differently and must be rewritten anyway.

hi
i am working with project in vb.net, in this project i have to give a interface to end user in which he can change properties of each controls in runtime, for example, in a stock master form there is one label with text property 'Stock Code', for some customers it should be 'Product Id' and for some others it should be 'Part No.', so i put a button in every form called customize, so that user can click on this button and one child window will com, in this window i have placed a propertyGrid control, with this user can easily click and change properties of each control, thats fine. but how can i save this changed properties accociated with this form/user to disk and reload it next time? , i need a fast way to do this, because i dont want to slow down my form load because of this. somebody told me about binary form serialization, but base windows form class is not serializable, so i can't serialize a form.
i think somebody can help me to solve this problem...
waiting for replay..
thanks in advance

Since neither the Form nor the Form's Controls collection is Serializable, you'll have to implement some kind of collection yourself. Serializing the entire form is just overkill if all you're doing is changing the text of a few labels.
First, what are the properties you're allowing the user to change? Are you also allowing the user to add/remove the number of controls? What types of controls? Are the properties you're allowing change to common between all of them? Once you have all these questions answered, you can create a class and collection manager to hold this information. This is where you can add your own serialization support.
Google for "custom collections vb.net" for examples.

Hi, I've got a problem with the border styles to be chosen: I don't want to have a border (because I don't want the top bar -the blue bar-), so I chose without a border. My problem is that when I maximize the form, it occupies the whole screen, ie. the taskbar disappears behind the program. What I want to do is that it is like a normal maximized window, but without the top bar.
I'm not sure I've explained myself very clearly, but anyway... Can someone help me?
Thanks

Hi,
I think you'll have to implement the maximize yourself. The Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea property will give you the area without taskbar etc. In multi monitor environments you would surely not go onto the PrimaryScreen but you would have first to locate the correct one with Screen.FromControl.

Hi,
How do I change an Imagebox's Z-Property?
Currently, on the vb.net form, there are a few Imagebox controls. By default, the Imageboxe added later will block the rest of the imageboxes when they are placed on top of each other.
e.g Imagebox3 will block Imagebox1 when they are placed on the same position in the form.
Currently there are 4 imageboxes on the form. How do I make Imagebox3 block the rest of the imageboxes and for imagebox4 to block out imageboxes 1 and 2?
Is it possible to change each control's z-property individually?
|
|
|
|
|
The form designer has a move-to-front button. move image box 4 to the front, then image box 3.
---
b { font-weight: normal; }
|
|
|
|
|
So its something like
Imagebox3.BringToFront() 'Covers all other imageboxes
Imagebox4.BringToFront() 'Covers all imageboxes except for Imagebox3
Is it correct?
|
|
|
|
|
Should work. Also have a look at Controls.SetChildIndex where you can change the z-order more precisely.
|
|
|
|
|
No. The last control you bring to front covers all other controls.
---
b { font-weight: normal; }

Thanks Guffa and Robert for the replies.
It can work now

The short answer is "you can't do this."
The long answer is "you can do this." But only if you have VERY intimate knowledge of NTFS and can write file system filters and extensions. Is this wise to do is VB.NET? Nope. Not even C# either. The Managed languages are too high a level to write something like this efficiently.
