right i have a filelist (listbox = FilesList) that i want the user to select one file by double clicking.
then it will pass it to a list box listbox = KaraokeQue in to a que but before it passes that file to the que i need a name assoiated with that file
ie when double clicked it will ask for a name then pass it to the file list box with the file name and the name the user gave
ie
Mike ---------- file name.mp3
diane---------- file name.mp3
then i am going to pass that file one at a time to winamp for playing so i must keep the file path somehow..
i am thinking of this way but not to sure how to get it working fully
the controls i have are
combobox = DrivesList
listbox = FoldersList
listbox = FilesList ----- The place i want the double click to come from----------
listbox = KaraokeQue ---- the place i want the playlist ----

i thought might be easier to wrap the name / path into another class.
i.e.
Code:
Public Class FileItem
Private ReadOnly _DisplayName As String
Private ReadOnly _FilePath As String
Public Sub New(ByVal DisplayName As String, ByVal FilePath As String)
_DisplayName = DisplayName
_FilePath = FilePath
End Sub
Public Sub New(ByVal FilePath As String)
_FilePath = FilePath
_DisplayName = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(FilePath)
End Sub
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return _DisplayName
End Function
Public ReadOnly Property DisplayName() As String
Get
Return _DisplayName
End Get
End Property
Public ReadOnly Property FilePath() As String
Get
Return _FilePath
End Get
End Property
i was told if i use this with the list box. If you create an array of these i could use the array as the datasource and it will automatically use the DisplayName for the listbox text.
