SevenZipSharp show current extracting file while doing extraction - vb.net

I'm using vb.net and was wondering how to show what file is being extracted when extracting an archive. I've already have a workaround but it's "cheaty" and doesn't really display the current file that is extracting.
Public Class Form1
Private listItemIndex As Integer = 0
Public Sub ext_Extracting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SevenZip.ProgressEventArgs)
Dim ext As SevenZipExtractor = New SevenZipExtractor("C:\Test.7z")
If listItemIndex < ext.ArchiveFileNames.Count Then
Label1.Text = ext.ArchiveFileNames.Item(listItemIndex).ToString()
listItemIndex += 1
End If
End Sub
End Class

This answer was written by the OP but incorrectly edited into the question:
Ok I got it. I had to add "FileInfo.FileName" into "SevenZip.FileInfoEventArgs" then make a reference to it when extracting.
Public Sub FileExtractionStarted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SevenZip.FileInfoEventArgs)
Label1.Text = e.FileInfo.FileName
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
SevenZipExtractor.SetLibraryPath("C:\7z.dll")
Dim ext As SevenZipExtractor = New SevenZipExtractor("C:\test.7z")
ext.BeginExtractArchive("C:\Test")
AddHandler ext.ExtractionFinished, AddressOf ext_ExtractionFinished
AddHandler ext.Extracting, AddressOf ext_Extracting
AddHandler ext.FileExtractionStarted, AddressOf FileExtractionStarted '<---
End Sub

A question about adding a click event to a dynamically added right-click menu

I want to add click events to the dynamically added right-click menu.The mybutton is a dynamical added button. my codes are as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim tsm As ToolStripMenuItem = New ToolStripMenuItem("change icon")
AddHandler tsm.Click, AddressOf mybutton_changeicon
mybutton_cms.Items.Add(tsm)
sender.ContextMenuStrip = mybutton_cms
End Sub
Private Sub mybutton_changeicon(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)
changeIcon.changeicon(sender, e)
End Sub
Module changeIcon
Function changeicon(ByRef Sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs, Optional ByVal Offset As Integer = 10)
As Boolean
Dim openfiledialog1 As New OpenFileDialog
Dim imagepath As String
If openfiledialog1.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
imagepath = openfiledialog1.FileName
Sender.Image = Image.FromFile(imagepath)
End If
End Function
End Module
when I run it , there is a problem that:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.EventArgs' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs?
what's wrong with my code?

Late Binding Issue with BackgroundWorker in VB.Net

I am running a BackgroundWorker, and want to report its progress. In the example below I create a test list which the BackgroundWorker then iterates through. The problem lies in the line 'sender.ReportProgress(i)'. If I have Option Strict on, it does not like my use of 'i' due to Late Binding issues. Is there any alternative way to code this and avoid that issue?
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' Configuring for Background Workers
Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = False
Dim MyList As New List(Of String)
For a As Integer = 0 To 100
MyList.Add(CStr(a))
Next
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim bgw As New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
bgw.WorkerReportsProgress = True
bgw.WorkerSupportsCancellation = True
AddHandler bgw.DoWork, AddressOf bgw_DoWork
' I create a BackgroundWorker here rather than add one in the toolbox so that I can specify the Handler and use different Handler routines for different part of a large program.
Button1.Enabled = False
Dim progress As New Progress(bgw)
progress.ShowDialog()
Button1.Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Sub bgw_DoWork(sender As System.Object, e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs)
For i = 0 To MyList.Count -1
Label1.Text = MyList(i)
sender.ReportProgress(i)
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200)
Label1.Refresh()
Next
End Sub
End Class
Public Class Progress
Private WithEvents _BGW As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
Public Sub New(ByVal BGW As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker)
_BGW = BGW
InitializeComponent()
End Sub
Private Sub frmProgress_Shown(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
If Not IsNothing(_BGW) Then
_BGW.RunWorkerAsync()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub _BGW_ProgressChanged(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.ProgressChangedEventArgs) Handles _BGW.ProgressChanged
ProgressBar1.Value = e.ProgressPercentage
Label1.Text = e.ProgressPercentage
End Sub
Private Sub _BGW_RunWorkerCompleted(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs) Handles _BGW.RunWorkerCompleted
Me.Close()
End Sub
End Class
CType(sender, BackgroundWorker).ReportProgress(i)
Also, if you want to do multiple actions with it, then create a local reference variable like this:
Private Sub bgw_DoWork(sender As System.Object, e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs)
Dim bgw As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker = DirectCast(sender, System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker)
' ... now you can use "bgw" multiple times below instead of casting each time ...
For i = 0 To MyList.Count -1
Label1.Text = MyList(i)
bgw.ReportProgress(i)
bgw.SomethingElse()
bgw.MoreStuff()
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200)
Label1.Refresh()
Next
End Sub
Obviously this isn't necessary in your case, just an FYI...

Why does FileSystemWatcher fire twice

why does the FileSystemWatcher fire twice? Is there an easy way to fix it? Surely if I update or edit the text file it should only fire once?
this link here http://weblogs.asp.net/ashben/archive/2003/10/14/31773.aspx says
Events being raised twice - An event will be raised twice if an event handler (AddHander FSW.Created, AddressOf FSW_Created) is
explicitly specified. This is because, by default, the public events
automatically call the respective protected methods (OnChanged,
OnCreated, OnDeleted, OnRenamed). To correct this problem, simply
remove the explicit event handler (AddHandler ...).
What does "remove the explicit event handler" mean?
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form2
Private Sub FileSystemWatcher1_Changed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Changed
'this fires twice
MessageBox.Show("test")
End Sub
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
FileSystemWatcher1.Path = "C:\Users\c\Desktop\test\"
FileSystemWatcher1.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastAccess Or NotifyFilters.LastWrite Or NotifyFilters.FileName Or NotifyFilters.DirectoryName Or NotifyFilters.CreationTime
FileSystemWatcher1.IncludeSubdirectories = False
FileSystemWatcher1.Filter = "text.txt"
End Sub
End Class
Update:
I have come up with 2 solutions. One uses Threads, and the other doesn't. Take your pick :-).
Without threading:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub FileSystemWatcher1_Changed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Changed
Dim watcher As System.IO.FileSystemWatcher = sender
watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = False
'Do work here while new events are not being raised.
MessageBox.Show("Test")
watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = True 'Now we can begin watching for new events.
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
FileSystemWatcher1.Path = "C:\Users\c\Desktop\test"
FileSystemWatcher1.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastWrite
FileSystemWatcher1.IncludeSubdirectories = False
FileSystemWatcher1.Filter = "test.txt"
End Sub
Private Sub FileSystemWatcher_OnChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub
End Class
This solution (without threading), sets the watcher.EnableRaisingEvents to False. It is after this point where you would normally process whatever files are affected (or changed). It then sets the EnableRaisingEvents back to True after your work is done.
With threading:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub FileSystemWatcher1_Changed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Changed
FileSystemWatcher1.EnableRaisingEvents = False
Threading.Thread.Sleep(250)
FileSystemWatcher1.EnableRaisingEvents = True
MessageBox.Show("test")
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
FileSystemWatcher1.Path = "C:\Users\c\Desktop\test"
FileSystemWatcher1.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastWrite
FileSystemWatcher1.IncludeSubdirectories = False
FileSystemWatcher1.Filter = "test.txt"
End Sub
Private Sub FileSystemWatcher_OnChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub
End Class
This solution, although a bit hacky, does work. It disables checking for new changes/events for 250ms and then re-enables checking, based on the assumption that you won't been needing to check for a change every 250ms. I have tried almost everything that I could think of to get a real solution for you but this will work in the meantime.
Check e.ChangeType. I imagine you're getting two different notifications. Perhaps LastAccess and LastModified. In which case, that's the expected behavior.
Today i crashed in FileSystemWatcher and found this site. Suggested Thread.Sleep cannot completely eliminate problem. Tested with fast counter-integer. And is blocking UI. Most problematic is startup, it sliped trough at 5s. Then i set FileSystemWatcher1.EnableRaisingEvents = False immediately in TimerWatcherChanged.Tick and never enabled again... But surprisingly counter still catch up-to 4 events! I would like to share my solution, non-blocking, with adjustable Timer. Feedback is welcome.

Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class Form1
Dim fileName As String
Dim Fsw_counter As Integer
WithEvents TimerWatcherChanged As New Windows.Forms.Timer
WithEvents TimerTest As New Windows.Forms.Timer

update form on asynchronous control event

A few weeks ago I wrote a wrapper for the ServiceController control to enhance and streamline the base ServiceController. One of the changes I made was to add a monitoring component using the System.Threading.Timer object. On any change of status, an event is raised to the parent class. The actual monitoring works fine, but when the event is handled in the main form, my program abruptly ends - no exceptions, no warning, it just quits. Here's a skeleton version of the control:
Public Class EnhancedServiceController
Inherits ServiceController
Public Event Stopped(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Public Event Started(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Private _LastStatus As System.ServiceProcess.ServiceControllerStatus
Private serviceCheckTimer as System.Threading.Timer
Private serviceCheckTimerDelegate as System.Threading.TimerCallback
...
Private Sub StartMonitor()
MyBase.Refresh()
_LastStatus = MyBase.Status
serviceCheckTimerDelegate = New System.Threading.TimerCallback(AddressOf CheckStatus)
serviceCheckTimer = New System.Threading.Timer(serviceCheckTimerDelegate, Nothing, 0, 60*1000)
End Sub
Private Sub CheckStatus()
MyBase.Refresh()
Dim s As Integer = MyBase.Status
Select Case s
Case ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped
If Not s = _LastStatus Then
RaiseEvent Stopped(Me, New System.EventArgs)
End If
Case ServiceControllerStatus.Running
If Not s = _LastStatus Then
RaiseEvent Started(Me, New System.EventArgs)
End If
End Select
_LastStatus = s
End Sub
End Class
And the form:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub ServiceStarted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ESC.Started
Me.TextBox1.Text = "STARTED"
End Sub
Private Sub ServiceStopped(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ESC.Stopped
Me.TextBox1.Text = "STOPPED"
End Sub
End Class
If I had to guess, I'd say that there's some sort of thread problem, but I'm not sure how to handle that in the form. Any ideas?
IF it is a threading issue then you are probably trying to update the UI from a non-UI thread.
So something like this should solve that...
Private Delegate Sub UpdateTextBoxDelegate(byval tText as String)
Private Sub UpdateTextBox(byval tText As String)
If Me.InvokeRequired Then
Me.Invoke(New UpdateTextBoxDelegate(AddressOf UpdateTextBox), tText)
Exit Sub
End If
TextBox1.Text = tText
End Sub
Private Sub ServiceStarted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ESC.Started
UpdateTextBox ("STARTED")
End Sub
Private Sub ServiceStopped(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ESC.Stopped
UpdateTextBox("STOPPED")
End Sub

VB.NET PictureBox scroll through images in a folder

I have a pictureBox on my form along with two buttons (Back and Forward) but I can not find a viable method of doing what I wish to do: Scrolling through images in a folder like the default Windows Picture Viewer does with Arrow Keys.
Is there an efficient way to do this?
I'm using Visual Basic .NET with Visual Studio 2010, if that matters.
You'll need to load the pictures using DirectoryInfo, then browse through them with an index. Here is an example:
Public Class Form1
Private files As List(Of FileInfo)
Private currentFileIndex As Integer
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
RefreshFolder("c:\path\to\your\pictures")
End Sub
Private Sub backButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles backButton.Click
Advance(-1)
ShowCurrentFile()
End Sub
Private Sub forwardButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles forwardButton.Click
Advance(1)
ShowCurrentFile()
End Sub
Private Sub Advance(ByVal delta As Integer)
currentFileIndex = ((currentFileIndex + files.Count) + delta) Mod files.Count
End Sub
Private Sub RefreshFolder(ByRef path As String)
Dim di As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(path)
files = (From c In di.GetFiles()
Where IsFileSupported(c)
Select c).ToList()
If files.Count > 0 Then
currentFileIndex = 0
End If
ShowCurrentFile()
End Sub
Private Sub ShowCurrentFile()
If currentFileIndex <> -1 Then
Try
PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(files(currentFileIndex).FullName)
Catch ex As Exception
' TODO: handle exceptions gracefully
Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString)
End Try
End If
End Sub
Private Function IsFileSupported(ByRef file As FileInfo) As Boolean
Return file.Extension = ".jpg" Or file.Extension = ".png" ' etc
End Function
End Class
you should be more specific.
if it will help you you have to create two subrotines that assign the next and pervious image to the picture box and triggier these subrotines on the key down events and the bottons clicks.
