Great tutorial, I'm just having trouble with switching directories

[@datmemez9992]

How I can make custom icons for a file extension? For example, if the program find a text file, it replaces the icon with a custom text file icon.

[@drtxstudio5835]

plzzz i want to do that but with treeView like visual studio and whene he doublleClick in NodeChild(file) he open the file content in richTextBox in the same form can u do that ?

[@uk9431]

Thanks. can I get image file thumbnail in file explorer?

[@SnatchDreams]

icons were downloaded from flaticon.com

[@DecryptingTechnology]

I want to restrict the user to view only files and folders of a folder or drive selected by me so how can I do that?

[@SnatchDreams]

It can be actually done with the help of adding filters check when user enter the the path in the text .. or if u wish only to browse to a specific location then better disable the option of entering the path in the textbox 😊

You should put it into a pastebin.com document for copy and paste. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@navegct8457]

[@SnatchDreams]

+Nave GCT sorry .. didn't get you my friend

[@memesxd5339]

He wants the code because hes lazy (basicly)

[@dfrjr4877]

This is nice and works great. However ImageList is not available on a Web Form project. What is the alternative?

[@ibtisamahmed5112]

Project\components\microsoft windows common controls 6.0 enable it and click apply.

[@jamiebarnes3539]

hi thank you for the video really helpful. How come when you click on the file it dose not open this would be really good if it would open the file once you have click them. could you do a video on this please Thank you

[@thepikachugamer]

I managed to make a mod that had a "back" button, but would add a "\.." to the text bar...

[@nidaabbas5707]

There is a Bug In this code, It only shows the file I am working on

[@SnatchDreams]

Thank you for letting me know. It's not the optimised one bro 😇 just did this video for basic tutorial purpose.

[@alessiobarbaglia]

I'm not English,i'm italian, but I hope you understand. I would like to know if you can make each different file have a different icon, but that they are not those of Windows, I must be different, from the resources of the app. thank you very much and I hope you answer me soon.

[@SnatchDreams]

That can be done by making a small change in the imageList that's been used in the program ... More details about that is given in my "Filemanager using C#" don't worry because it's c# the concept is same ... Please refer to that video of mine... And still of u have doubt about how to get it done ... Please drop an email ♥️

[@navegct8457]

[@SnatchDreams]

+Nave GCT ya...of course you can use the icon ..of ur wish or also u can so icons that windows uses ... ! You can implement that by making a bit modifications in the item adding part of list view... ! I was showing just a basic idea of implementation of a basic file manager ! ☺️

Nice tutorial! How can I open txt, music and other files? I will programm this, but Iam not sure how I can code this. Sorry for my bad english :)

[@SnatchDreams]

+Maxe TV did u means how to open a txt file and music with VB itself or how to open txt or music when u click that file in an external app (like notepad )

[@SnatchDreams]

+Maxe TV in order to over a file using an external application ..For example to open a text file in notepad when u click on the file in the VB file manager .... You can use this Process.Start("D:/file.txt") You can use any file path to open that specific file with its respective application ...

[@DollarsoftCorporation]

please i want it to load the txt file to my text box iside that same form

[@SnatchDreams]

I think that would be simple... You can just get the extension using GetFileInfo() method As System.IO.FileInfo var = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo("filepath ") You have file path in the main textbox in my program .. Now do this: Dim ext as String ext = var.Extension If ext == ".txt" then RichTextBox1.load("filepath") end if

[@SnatchDreams]

Dim var as System.IO.FileInfo Dim file_ext as String var = My.Compter.FileSystem.GetFileInfo("filepath") file_ext = var.Extension If file_ext = ".txt" Then RichTextBox1.load("filepath") End If Create a RichTextBox inside the form instead of a simple textbox as it has a method called load() to load content of a file and supports .txt , .doc , .rtf files type

[@niteshpatel2892]

I want a back button to go to the previous path.... Plzzzz help

[@thepikachugamer]

Parent folder is "..", so saying C:\Windows\System32\..\..\ is equivalent to C:\

[@in3v3rexis1ed]
