how to get folders to?

[iPersonality]

@simme808

for each folders in my.computer.filesystem.getDire­ctorys(my.computer.filesystem.­specialdirectories.desktop & "\")

lvDesktop.items.add(Folders)

Thats how to get the folders, but no icon. Maybe add the folder icon on the imagelist and then it would be something like

lvDesktop.items.add(Folders, 0)

I dont remember... give it a few trys

How Do You Add Items

[matrixnapster]

what I must do to see the number of the line of code on the left???

sorry for my bad english

[iPersonality]

Hey Matrixnapser.

You can set it from the Settings in the MainMenu,

Tools->Settings->then it opens a settings form.

From there, choose TextEditor Basic

(something like that)

Click it once, then take TextEdit next to it, theres WrapWords or LineNumbers, check LineNumbers. Hope that helped, if not ill pm with better instructions :)

[matrixnapster]

[54321tomo]

Oh well

[TheSniperofDeath]

if you make a OS in vb it will not be able to run on its own or run any program. NOOB

[iPersonality]

Idiot. Everybody knows that, you're blocked!

[skaterboy991]

he want making an OS you retard he was basically making a front end FOR his OS.. (like explorer)

[dobodbo]

how can you change the desktop image????

[imback218]

Click on the Listview, over in the properties box, find "Background Image" click on the "..." then click on "Import" and then browse and locate your image...and then click ok...

And then click OK again...

there you have your desktop background xD

[zendowebsite]

dude you rock, please make more vids!

[autell]

Operating systems like this have a name: Onboard Operating System >> for all the noobs who say that it isn't a real operating system

[bunnyz324]

if u make an os, it needs to have a bootable cd

[arsenal2wins]

and then this answer.. You can't make bootable progarm in vb 2008, its atleast in C or c++

[iPersonality]

Next person who will say something about visual basic os, that can't be booted and stuff like that, will get permanent ban from commenting to my videos!!!

[iPersonality]

We all know that.

[BlaBlaBlaZ2]

man, thats to complicated for newbyes, only people who really know how to script can use this, 5/5. An easyer way would be by using Pictureboxes as icons, and it would be easyer to stream the image even from an website. And Move it to a specific location without any problem, with the label near it, into a panel, this can be done easily

[mandai2]

@BlaBlaBlaZ2 Only problem with that is you need the same number of pictureboxes as there are desktop icons.

[VBAlien]

@mandai2 or you could just write a code that detects the number of icons on your desktop and creates that number of picture boxes.

[mandai2]

@VBAlien i guess you could add them dynamically to the Form.Controls list but how many newbies are going to know about assigning events to these dynamically as well?

[Robobbly]

NICE!

[mrpostman360]

Is their a way to move the icons?

[iPersonality]

I don't think so, because it's a listview :/

[iPersonality]

But, I know away how to make movable icons. It might take some time, be patient.

[Xterminatorbond]

NICE!!

This is a good one!

I never thought that you can make things like this in VB!!

[iPersonality]

I made a better one. I uploaded it to my mediafire account :)

[iPersonality]

I've uploaded a better version of it (where it says just filename and not the whole location.)

Go & Download!

[iPersonality]

You don't have even video about it.

[iPersonality]

hmm, I made a better one, might upload it aswell.
