I really don't understand what you mean by copying them at the same time.
try to do a basic copy paste of multiple files in the explorer, you can see that the files are created one by one to the destination.
I think that the way you are doing it now is the only of copying multiple files to the same destination. It allows to copy all the files with one click rather than the same number of clicks as there are files to be copied.

Ok
stap 1: seleced the files
stap 2: copy the selected files to de locations where to copy the selected files,the location can you give in textbox1.text.

If I copy the files, I can not open the openfile dialog again to copy notter files I must close the project en open the project again how to start the openfiledialog

[talkro]

drag a button open in your form and name it open dialog

private sub buttonDialog()
    openFileDialog1.showDialog()
end sub

[NeedHelp01]

okay I have done that but when I choose a file he don't set in de listbox how come??

[talkro]

you have to implement the code you used in the form1_load event.
Select the files
click the ok button in the openFileDialog
add the selected files to the listbox

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(Me.ListBox1.SelectedItems.Item(i), "textbox1.text" & sFileName)

what does this line do?
it saves the file (c:/mytest.txt) to the folder named textbox1.textmytest.txt

when you run the program, do you get the successful or unsuccessfull messagebox?

[NeedHelp01]

hey say copy file succesful messagebox

yess this is my big problem
it saves the file (c:/mytest.txt) to the folder named textbox1.textmytest.txt

but how else can I give the directory where to copy the file
because I have a brows button to say in textbox1.text the path of the where to copy the selected files how can I say in the listbox to read from textbox1.text??

[robbedaya]

i think

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(Me.ListBox1.SelectedItems.Item(i), "textbox1.text" & sFileName)

should be

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(Me.ListBox1.SelectedItems.Item(i), textbox1.text & sFileName)

[talkro]

remove the quotes around the textbox1.text and this will give you the value inside the textbox

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(Me.ListBox1.SelectedItems.Item(i), textbox1.text & "/" & sFileName)

[NeedHelp01]

yess it works but a nother problem how to refresh the listbox
when i start the project he keeps the selected files in the listbox
how to refresh the listbox to empty the listbox

[talkro]

listbox1.items.clear

[NeedHelp01]

how can I give in the form titelbar the command

listbox1.items.clear

that I have a option in the titelbar to clear the listbox

[NeedHelp01]

else I have a lot of buttons
I don't wont to have a lot of buttons an my form

[talkro]

the code that you are using in the form1_load event is exactly the same as the one you have under the openFiledailog button. this means that insted of having the same code twice, simulate the click of the openfiledialog in the load event.

then use this code to clear the listbox everytime you select some new files

Dim result As DialogResult = Me.OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
        If result = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            me.listbox1.items.clear
            For Each sFilePath As String In Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileNames
                Me.ListBox1.Items.Add(sFilePath)
            Next sFilePath
        End If

else I have a lot of buttons
I don't wont to have a lot of buttons an my form

this is not true because I only see 2 buttons and a listbox on the form.
on button to open the openfiledialog
1 button to copy the files and the listox
3 controls only

[NeedHelp01]

this is not true because I only see 2 buttons and a listbox on the form.

I do not want each time to say yes copy to
I want to have the listbox viseble on false
wath I have selected in the openfiledialog copy automatic to the directory

[talkro]

you can only have a button and a textbox on your form called copy files. This button will open the openFileDialog. When the user clicks on ok, you loop through the selected files and use the instruction my.computer.copyfiles() to save them in the location specified in the textbox

[NeedHelp01]

but how can I copy automatic the selected files in the listbox with out to say whit's files. I want to copy from the list box, how to select automatic the files that come in the listbox I don't have to see wath files I have selected in the openfiledialog
