FolderBrowserDialog hangs in 2005

[Grumpy Aero Guy]

I have created an app that makes use of the FolderBrowserDi alog.

Upon building the app, installing and running it, and invoking the form
using the dialog, it hangs upon folder selection and goes "not responding"

Upon debugging, it hangs as well upon executing the line that extracts the
selected folder without further explanation. All looks well in the debugger
prior to executing the line marked with <<<<<< below. When I step over that
line, it hangs.

With FolderBrowserDi alog1
..RootFolder = Environment.Spe cialFolder.Desk top

..SelectedPath = Environment.Spe cialFolder.Desk top

..Description = "Please select the desired template(s)..."

If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.Ca ncel Then

Exit Sub

End If

If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then

DestinationPath = .SelectedPath <<<<<<<<

End If

End With


I noticed the same behavior from a downloaded exe created in VS2005 using
the folderbrowser --- thus, I have two indenpent instances of the
browserdialog hanging, one not of my creation.

Any insights?

Re: FolderBrowserDi alog hangs in 2005

why you call .ShowDialog twice?

i suggest something like this;

Dim dlResult As DialogResult

dlResult = .ShowDialog

If dlResult = Windows.Forms.D ialogResult.Can cel Then
Exit Sub
ElseIf dlResult = Windows.Forms.D ialogResult.Ok Then
DestinationPath = .SelectedPath
End If

Re: FolderBrowserDi alog hangs in 2005

Fair enough....

BUT, I still hang on the DestinationPath = .SelectedPath line.

Re: FolderBrowserDi alog hangs in 2005

Here is a folder browser that does not use the component.....

--------------------------------
Imports System.Windows. Forms.Design

Public Class BrowseForFolder
Inherits FolderNameEdito r

Public Enum enuFolderBrowse rFolder
Desktop = FolderBrowserFo lder.Desktop
Favorites = FolderBrowserFo lder.Favorites
MyComputer = FolderBrowserFo lder.MyComputer
MyDocuments = FolderBrowserFo lder.MyDocument s
MyPictures = FolderBrowserFo lder.MyPictures
NetAndDialUpCon nections =
FolderBrowserFo lder.NetAndDial UpConnections
NetworkNeighbor hood = FolderBrowserFo lder.NetworkNei ghborhood
Printers = FolderBrowserFo lder.Printers
Recent = FolderBrowserFo lder.Recent
SendTo = FolderBrowserFo lder.SendTo
StartMenu = FolderBrowserFo lder.StartMenu
Templates = FolderBrowserFo lder.Templates
End Enum

'The FolderBrowserSt yles collection is a member of FolderNameEdito r
Public Enum enuFolderBrowse rStyles
BrowseForComput er = FolderBrowserSt yles.BrowseForC omputer
BrowseForEveryt hing = FolderBrowserSt yles.BrowseForE verything
BrowseForPrinte r = FolderBrowserSt yles.BrowseForP rinter
RestrictToDomai n = FolderBrowserSt yles.RestrictTo Domain
RestrictToFiles ystem = FolderBrowserSt yles.RestrictTo Filesystem
RestrictToSubfo lders = FolderBrowserSt yles.RestrictTo Subfolders
ShowTextBox = FolderBrowserSt yles.ShowTextBo x
End Enum

Public StartLocation As enuFolderBrowse rFolder =
enuFolderBrowse rFolder.MyDocum ents '.BrowseForComp uter
Public Style As enuFolderBrowse rStyles =
enuFolderBrowse rStyles.ShowTex tBox

Private mstrDescription As String = "Please select a directory below:"
Private mstrPath As String = String.Empty
Private mobjFB As New FolderBrowser()

'Adds Description to dialog box
Public Property Description() As String
Get
Return mstrDescription
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
mstrDescription = Value
End Set
End Property

Public ReadOnly Property Path() As String
Get
Return mstrPath
End Get
End Property

Public Function ShowBrowser() As System.Windows. Forms.DialogRes ult
With mobjFB
.Description = mstrDescription
.StartLocation = CType(Me.StartL ocation,

If dlgResult = DialogResult.OK Then
mstrPath = .DirectoryPath
Else
mstrPath = String.Empty
End If
Return dlgResult
End With
End Function

End Class

Usage is like....

--------------------------------
Dim objFB As New BrowseForFolder ()
If objFB.ShowBrows er = Windows.Forms.D ialogResult.OK Then
MessageBox.Show (objFB.Path)
End If

No such property as DestinationPath for the FolderBrowserDi alog

Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click
With FolderBrowserDi alog1
.RootFolder = Environment.Spe cialFolder.Desk top

My Bad..

It is always hanging here... even in debugger:

Me.Label1.Text = .SelectedPath

It's the .selectedpath line that hangs

Start a new project. Add a FolderBrowserDi alog, Button and Label.
Copy the code for the Button1_Click event that I previously posted and
paste it to the button click event in the project. Run the example.

What results do you get?

Re: FolderBrowserDi alog hangs in 2005

OK... did it ...

(except i used a textbox instead of a lable, which shouldn't matter...)

When I run the project from within VS2005, it works, although the dialog is
VERY sluggish.... takes a LONG time to navigate to "My Computer", acts as
though it'd deciding whether it wants to hang or physically work....

When I build the solution, and run the .exe in the "Release" folder, it
hangs upon selecting a folder in the dialog....

As I indicated before, I have downloaded a few exe s from CodeProject that
use folderbrowsers, and get the SAME hanging.....

Try the exe thing in the release folder several times. I would be curious if
you get a hang.

FWIW, I did a quick google on "folderbrowserd ialog hans VS 2005" and get
quite a few "hits"... this one is interesting:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb/browse_thread/thread/d5d446ae9ae3b5af/51c4cb022010b082%2351c4cb022010b082

here's MY code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click

With FolderBrowserDi alog1

..RootFolder = Environment.Spe cialFolder.Desk top

..SelectedPath = Environment.Spe cialFolder.Desk top.ToString

..Description = "Please select the desired template(s)..."

If .ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.D ialogResult.OK Then

Me.TextBox1.Tex t = .SelectedPath



End If

End With

End Sub

Re: FolderBrowserDi alog hangs in 2005

BTW, a re-boot gives you one shot at it working. Any second attempt, it
hangs. I get similiar behavior described via the link in the previous
e-mail.
