I have a form wich call OpenFileDialog.
I want a certain file to be focused in advance (Highlighted) in the files pane.
Is it possible?
I have code where i can select all files, now i want 1 file to be selected.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim OpenFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "All files (*.*)|*.*"
OpenFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = True
OpenFileDialog1.FileName = "C:\MyFile.wmv"
OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = My.Settings.VideoDirectory
OpenFileDialog1.Multiselect = True
If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
My.Settings.VideoDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
End If
End Sub
Dim m_lastDialogHandle As IntPtr
Public Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal Msg As UInteger, ByVal wParam As IntPtr, ByVal lParam As IntPtr) As IntPtr
Public Declare Function FindWindowExW Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hWndParent As IntPtr, ByVal hWndChildAfter As IntPtr, <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)> ByVal lpszClass As String, <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)> ByVal lpszWindow As String) As IntPtr
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
MyBase.WndProc(m)
If m.Msg = 289 Then ' Notify of message loop
Dim dialogHandle As IntPtr = m.LParam
If (dialogHandle <> m_lastDialogHandle) Then
Dim hChild1 As IntPtr = 0
Dim hChild2 As IntPtr = 0
Dim hChild3 As IntPtr = 0
m_lastDialogHandle = dialogHandle
hChild1 = FindWindowExW(dialogHandle, 0, "DUIViewWndClassName", Nothing)
If hChild1 = 0 Then Exit Sub
hChild1 = FindWindowExW(hChild1, 0, "DirectUIHWND", Nothing)
If hChild1 = 0 Then Exit Sub
Do
hChild2 = FindWindowExW(hChild1, hChild2, Nothing, Nothing)
If hChild2 = 0 Then Exit Sub
hChild3 = FindWindowExW(hChild2, 0, "SHELLDLL_DefView", "ShellView")
Loop Until hChild3 <> 0
SendMessage(hChild3, &H111, &H17021, 0)
End If
End If
End Sub
End Class
I'm sure it is possible to select 1 file, i just have to know the good WM_COMMAND.
Any help will be appreciated.
I found myself the solution with implementation of IShellBrowser, IShellView and IShellFolder. The question can be closed now.
