[VB.net] An Offline Program?

Hello all..

so, i just recently started out on VB..therefore i REALLY know absolutely NOTHING about VB for now..but i hope with the guidance of all the great programmers here, i can at least make a decent program using VB..

(PS: The program that i wanna create ultimately is for offline use only..at least for now it will be)

so, I am currently having this problem..

I wanna include a list of programs to open after i login to my system and I the problem now is that i do not know how to cre8 a button that have the "browse your computer" function..

after selecting the programs that I want, I would prefer them to be shown in a box and with another button to save the list..

i hope my xplanation is clear enough..

many thanks in advance..

 

I don't really understand...
Maybe a little MSPaint drawing to give a general idea ?

 

Here goes..

feel free to post/pm me any other things that u do not understand from my explanation..

 

ok, seem clear. One last question, why so many edit button ?
if you have a list, you can manage everything from there.

But back on the initial request...
If you still need a "browse" window function, lemme know, I've got one.

 

coz they are all of different settings.

for example the 1st should be "Firefox","Windows Media Player","Game"

the 2nd can be "Chrome","VLC player","Game 2"

tats the reason for multiple edit buttons..

yeah i need the code for the browse button..preferably with comments too so that i know what is going on..

thanks in advance Thar.

will be PMing u with further questions regarding this since u already know about it..haha

 

Like I said, you don't need so many edit. Just use a listbox and you can than easily manage what you need.
You'll even be able to say witch program to open first, easily remove one and save the list quite easily.

And here's the code :

Code (Text):

1. Private Sub cmdILoad_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdILoad.Click
2.         Dim OpenFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog() 'Declare the new FileDialog
3.         OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() 'Put the initial directory where the program is
4.         OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "All files (*.*)|*.*|Text files (*.exe)|*.exe" 'Filter all the file for EXE only
5.         OpenFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2
6.         OpenFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = True
7.         If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then 'If the user choose a file, will proceed
8.             'OpenFileDialog1.FileName.ToString    'Using this line, it will return the complete path where the file is. Use this path after to run the program.
9.         End If
10.     End Sub
