Question Only Show File Name But...?

[Jamie2993]

Hi All,

Im trying to create a playlist for my program (which ive done),
ive also got it to rename the items (just to show songname.mp3),

my problem is:

when the person Double-Clicks on an item in the listbox it wont play it because it plays the value of the selected item.

Any idea's On how to rename it to only the songname but still be able to play it?

My rename code:

        importdiag.ShowDialog()
        For Each item In importdiag.FileNames
            playlist.Items.Add(IO.Path.GetFileName(item))
        Next

I don't see any code that indicates it is playing anything at all.

you the code to play is just:

 AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = playlist.SelectedItem

but i dont see how that has anything to do with it...



Any Idea's how to rename but still be able to play from the double click of that item

Dim files As New List(Of IO.FileInfo)(importdiag.FileNames.Count)

For Each fileName In importdiag.FileNames
    files.Add(New IO.FileInfo(fileName))
Next

playlist.DisplayMember = "Name"
playlist.ValueMember = "FullName"
playlist.DataSource = files

When the user selects a file name in the ListBox you get its full path from the SelectedValue property.
