I am writing a VB 6.0 program similar to Windows Explorer, which has a tree view and a list view to select directories and files. I would like to associate an icon with each file, according to the standard file extension, or use application file's own icon, just like the Explorer does. It is quite easy to place a icon using the ImageList control, together with the "TreeView.Nodes.Add" and "ListItem.SmallIcon" methods. The question is, how...

Hi, I've been trying to create a listview and treeview with icons. You would think it's a pretty straight forward task. API documentation states you simply assign an ImageList - that's been populated either using VS.NET (my method) or programatically. I assigned the imagelist to the small icons in the listview. Even VS.NET has been satisfied with what I'm doing as it shows the listitems/treenodes with icons. As soon as I build/run...

Does anyone know how to have the standard order icons you quite often see above a listbox or list view. These controls allow you to change the order of the selected item within the list box/ list view. Is there an easy way to implement ways or what is the standard way. I was hoping that dotnet would have a property associated with the list box/ list view but didn't see any. Thansk for any help ! cheers, Des.

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,...
