If you add a picture into a project, then remove the picture from it's original source, the picture is still in the project even though it doesn't exist in its original location.
I want to do the same thing with a video.
How can I add a video to a project in such a way that it can be deleted from its original location and it will still exist in the project?
I guess what you are looking for is dynamic ressources and not static(local) ones. You can input them by drag&drop into your solution explorer or if you double click on your project in the solution explorer the project properties open - there you have a tab called ressources where you can input any kind of ressources.
If you dont know how to play a movie within a VB Form - here is a tutorial on YouTube.

I'm currently using Webrowser control on my form for navigating to paths on my PC. Everything is perfect - you can drag/drop files, cut/copy/paste them, navigate through folders, create new ones, files and icons are shown - as in Windows Explorer. Only problem I have is windows system security settings (PC at office). I keep getting Windows security alert "Do you want to allow files from this website to run on your computer?".
I wish to create Explorer on my own, so I started dealing with Listview. It's hard for my level of vb.net knowledge so before I proceed further I need to know this:
Can I show files + folders from desired path in Listview (like "C:\Myprograms\SomeFolder\") with all icons ?
Can I navigate in Listview - like when I have a folder in Listview and double click it to view It's contents
And can I drag/drop files in It and cut/copy/paste files, which will ultimately change my folders on PC ?
I'm asking this because I allready started and I've bumped into many problems - folder icons not showing (using different methods), folders and files not showing together in Listview, cut/copy/paste issues etc.
I just want to know If It's even possible. Thanks for response in advance.
After several hours I once managed to import the Windows Media Player.
Now I need to do it again, and I'm desperate because I don't see which file I need to import.
The reference in my old project looks like that:
The files I get offered while trying to refence them looks like this:
Does anybody perhaps know right away how to import the Windows Media Player?
I thought this was a valid question for stackoverflow because I'm stumbling over this issue for the second time now.
I got it:
Right-Click the toolbox, add "Windows Media Player" (COM component tab) and drag it onto a form.
I have an app that basically takes a file path(s) and copies the data name and extension from it to be used in my app. I was wondering how to add on to the Finder right click menu (like Dropbox does) and do run some Objective-C code when clicked. (I need to get the path(s) of the selected file). Is there any way to do this? All the answers I've seen are very vague and unhelpful. I do not want to use mach_inject because my app might go onto the appstore, and I can probably get FinderSync API to work.
Take a look at the FinderSync API in Yosemite; I'm fairly sure you don't need to sync anything, but you can use the API to install a toolbar and sidebar item as well.
I've an idea to develop a modification to WhatsApp, for example now when I click attachment symbol it shows only 6 I want to add one more option to it. If it's possible let me know. I want to add more one button on Attach menu.
It is not clear what exactly you are asking.
You have an option to launch other applications from your app.
If you want to change the way a certain app looks, or behaves you have to write something similar to it for people to use, but you cannot change the original app (no one will let you)
Here you go! it's possible, as #Jef said in comments.
using documentation interaction controller.

you need to work on how to hook into attachment menu.

There is an assumption in your question that these other apps are put there by the whatsApp developers, or by a third party who was somehow able to modify their code. I suspect that what is happening is that they (whatsApp) simply export a document/file of a certain type (UTI) If your application supports that same UTI it should appear here. So there is six buttons for you, on your phone, but another user might see a different number, it depends entirely what they have installed on their device.
CONCEPTUAL.. if you double click on a file on your computer then the file browser (OS) opens that file with some application or other. Perhaps it is a .doc file and the OS pushes that file to word or pages. Or it may be a .psd file and it gets pushed to photoshop. How does this happen? The OS has a registry (database) of applications for each file type, applications sign up on this when they install/update. If you right click on a file you see an 'open in..' option that lists all your applications which can handle that file type, this is the menu that you are wanting to get onto (for whatsApp's file type) imho.
So you need to
1 ascertain what file type (UTI) WhatsApp is exporting
2 declare support for that file type in your application (this is the bit which will be platform specific solution) (iOS docs https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/DocumentInteraction_TopicsForIOS/Articles/RegisteringtheFileTypesYourAppSupports.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010411-SW1 )
**edit/addition
3. add the code to actually handle the file when your app receives it. On iOs this is in the appDelegate in
-(void) application: openURL: sourceApplication:annotation:
If the Whatsapp people have published an API then thats where you want to look. Good luck
Im trying to make a mac app that copies and pastes a folder to another location but i can find a tutorial on how i go along and make an app for the mac what its per pose is A app that makes it easy to move mod files to a games file system. Yes i know theres lots of apps that goes the same but i want to make my own. The structure is theres six NSTextFields three for the mods folders and three for the games folder system like (Mod's Parts Path, Mod's Plugin Path, Mod's Plugin Data Path, Game's Parts Path, Game's Plugin Path and Games's Plugin Data Path). Ive looked on stackflow and Google and couldn't find on tutorial on how to do this maybe im looking in the wrong places. The game that its manly for is for KSP (Kerbal Space Program)
What did you googled? You will need a simple gui application with 6 Labels, 6 TextFields and one Button. There will be one function linked with that button. That function will use data from TextFields and NSFileManager's copyItemAtPath:toPath:error: method.
Google something like "osx first app" or "xcode TextField tutorial" for the details on how to create an app with TextField and Button.
