[RESOLVED] [2008] Highlight a file in explorer
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know how I could locate a particular file in windows explorer by highlighting it?
Example: in my app I have a list of files, when a user right clicks one of these files in the list they click an option named "locate file" and this then opens the directory that the file is stored in just in a normal windows explorer window. The particular file they clicked is then selected/highlighted in this directory (so it looks the same as it would if you had clicked the file once).
So just to be clear, I dont want to use an file browser window inside my program, I want the normal Windows Explorer.exe process to open the directory and select the file.
I can get my app to open explorer at the specified directory but I just cant find a way of highlighting the file, I've seen other programs that do this, Windows Media Player for example, but I dont know if its possible using vb.net
Can anyone give me any suggestions?
Cheers
Chris
