Even if you hide the Control Panel, user can always manually travel to the folder location and save files there. Hence, hiding control panel is not going to solve your problem.

All I can suggest is to create your own control and do not let user select the folder you dont want to.

what about error handling after the dialog is confirmed?

you can check the directory, if its one you dont what to use then inform the user and display the folderbrowsedialog again

If only MySelf.Visible was more than just a getter...

It is not easy.
One idea would be:
-open the document, using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.
-select the active document, word.ActiveDocument.Select()
-copy current selection, word.Selection.CopyAsPicture()
-get the Image by calling Clipboard.GetImage()

Document.Select() selects the entire document, so basically, you will copy the entire document.

How to get the application data folder for each user ?

Hi I am writing a small program , I need to find the application data folder which exists in c:\documents and settings folder. I need to know the exact path, if the user has installed the windows in d:\ then it should look at d:\. Even if I could know the windows installation drive then I think it would help ? I got some code in VB but i cannot use it in csharp . Any suggestions would be appreciated.

//************************************************************
Public Function GetTheWindowsDirectory() As String

Dim strWindowsDir As String ' Variable to return the path of Windows Directory
Dim lngWindowsDirLength As Long ' Variable to return the the lenght of the path

strWindowsDir = Space(250) ' Initilize the buffer to receive the string
lngWindowsDirLength = GetWindowsDirectory(strWindowsDir, 250) ' Read the path of 'the windows directory
strWindowsDir = Left(strWindowsDir, lngWindowsDirLength) ' Extract the windows 'path from the buffer

GetTheWindowsDirectory = strWindowsDir

//*********************************************

The above is the code for vb.net

Thanks

Hi,
The Environment class in the System namespace contains methods to get all of this info.

The GetFolderPath method is especially useful.

hmmm... if your hardcoding the function call why dont you just create an instance of the form you want to show?

When would a button click open different forms?

Please, use normal English in here. I myself are not best at english, but please don't use msn/sms- language in here....

U... this is a letter in the alphabet.
You... this is a word which you can see as a pointer to a person you refer to.

sorry
OKay im again trying to make you understnd.

I want to pass an form object to a method.

Exmp:

I have a form form1.

public void btnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
showForm(formObject);
}

showForm(......)\\ is there any way to catch it here)
{
formObject frmObj = new formObject(); \\ If there has any way then will it work
}

Thanks

The comment wasn't for you, but for Prajeesh.

But to help you with your problem. You can just do this with a normal parameter.

public void btnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   showForm(formObject);
}

public void showForm(Form myForm)
{
   myForm.Show();
}

If this is not what you mean, then you have to specify the problem slightly better.

Im afried sorry.
Actually I mean a form object passing to method.

By that I can create instance of that object in that method.
Exml:

void showForm( catch the form object)
{
objectName frm = new objectName();
}

public void button_click(..)
{
showForm(formObject);\\ formObject is a type by this i can creat form instance.
}

If you cant get inform me.

Thanks Smile | :)

I'm sorry, but I've never seen such thing working.
But what's the difference of doing it your way or doing it this way:

void showForm( Iobject obj)
{
}

public void button_click(..)
{
    showForm(new formObject());
}

Add an interface to your class so you can use different kinds of classes.
I think your problem is solved by this.

Let's see if I understood what you mean.
You want to pass to the showForm method the type of form to show and then show the kind of form desired.

If it's so, you can use reflection in the following way:

void ShowForm(Type formType)
{
    Form frm = Activator.CreateInstance(formType) as Form; // your type must be some kind of form
    if (frm != null)
    {
        frm.Show(); // showing the form
    }
    else
    {
        // formType is not a form, handle the error
    }
}

Is this what you wanted to do?
