In the OpenFileDialog the files list doesn't show up

1 New Member
For a basic application developed in VB.NET, I used the OpenFileDialog to browse and select a file.

For some unknown reason, I'm unable to get the auto-populate file list work on Windows XP SP 3 (as shown in the attached image), it works fine on my Windows 7 64bit computer and my co-workers Windows XP computer. The problem is specific to one PC.

I know it's a Windows XP issue but I didn't have much luck in finding any relevant solution on the Web.

Has anyone come across this problem.

Thanks,
Deepak

That should be the history of your past selections.
Could be a windows setting that clears/disables MRU lists.

Hmm, I guess it could be the autocomplete, in XP I had to have MS Office installed to turn on the inline-autocomplete, but there might just be registry setting that enables it.

Just downloaded and installed the latest Cygwin distribution which includes python 2.3.4. IDLE runs fine but for some reason the toolbar menu doesn't show up. Like, by default, it starts shell window, but no toolbar. If I type idle foobar.py it brings both shell and editor windows, but once again, no toolbar on either window -- which renders the edtior quite disfunctional.

I'm using Visual Studio .NET to make a C++ DirectX application.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Btw, I...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
