Can you provide details on exactly how you move to the next picture when the arrow key is pressed? (Is this simply due to the built-in keyboard navigation in the file list?)

Also, what version of VB is this?

[ziamughal]

sir the version of vb that i am using is Visual basic 6.0.
sir now i am submitting the details.i have made a picture viewer application .on which i have placed a image control and dirlistbox ,drivelistbox,and the filelistbox. in the coding of the file listbox i have entered

Private Sub file1_click()
  Dim hello As String
  hello = file1.Path & "\" & file1.FileName
  If Right$(hello, 3) = "jpg" Then
    image1.Picture = LoadPicture(hello)
  Else
    image1.Picture = LoadPicture(hello)
  End If
  If file1.ListIndex = file1.ListCount - 1 Then
    file1.ListIndex = 0
  End If
End Sub

according to this coding when i press the right arrow key then the next image is displayed in the image control.but when i reach on the end or at the last picture then the last picture is not displayed .now i want that when i reach on the last picture then the last picture should be displayed and when i again press the right arrow key then the first image should be displayed(as in the window picture and fax viewer).

u are moving to the next picture not because of your code ,but because of windows as th efocus is moving to the next item in the list.

try handling the keystroke and then try to change the index of the selected item in the list accordingly.

Hi,

I'd say that it's because sometimes the indexes of the file pickers start at 1.

Then just change the code to:

if file1.listindex=file1.listcount then
file1.listindex=1
end if
end sub

Good Luck

dear sir

the listindex of the file list box starts from 0 and the listcount is 1 greater than the last index of the filelilstbox.the coding that you send me is
if file1.listindex=file1.listcount then
file1.listindex=1
end if
according to this coding the listindex can not becomes equal to the listcount .therefore the after the last picture the first picture is not displayed when i press the right arrow key.
please help

dear sir
i know that i am not moving on the next picture through my code but i want that when i reach on the last picture and again i press the right arrow key then the first picture should be displayed.please send me the code so that i can understand the code and utilize it.

once list index is equal to listcount-1, rest it to 0

Now lets see how u apply the logic.

next time post with your code ,what u have tried

Hi,

Sorry that didnt work (sometimes does)

May be it's a problem when you change the list index, and you can use a line like this:

file1.ListIndex = file1.ListIndex + 1

What have you already tried?

[ziamughal]

sir i have tried this logic like
if file1.listindex=file1.listcount-1 then
file1.listindex=0
end if
but according to this code the last picture is missed(not displayed) when the listindex become equal to the listcount-1 then focus jumps on the first picture.
