browse folders and files

[kku]

hi all

i am try to browse folder and files in common dialog that will show only folder or files both in a same panel but i wish to show all folders and its file on a same window separately....i means when user click on a folder list view then files are show on a 2nd listview

[Thread1]

i would suggest the standard look and features of OpenFileDialog/FileDialog than creating your own custom browser through form and other controls. Unless you would want to introduce a new feature that is not present on the standard OpenFileDialog.

I want to use" file open dialog" and "folder open dialog" in same window ..is it possible..
have you send me any example

[Thread1]

IMO, that is not possible.

no, i am not yet sending any sample codes. i am just trying to know first what's your purpose of showing both file and folder browser dialog to the user at the same time, as the former defeats the purpose of the latter.

are you planning to create a windows-explorer-like browser?

ya like "windows-explorer" and when user click OK button then get all files in that folder...

I found a article but it is showing error

What do you expect ¿ That article is not for VB.NET :confused:

Have a look at the VB.NET FAQ's here on CodeGuru / or Search CodeGuru, there you'll find an FAQ entitled Windows Explorer Application. That would give you a better picture...
