File paths

When you have used OpenFileDialog and gotten the file path, is there anyway to show only the file but the file path is still there?

Example:

i select hi.txt from my hard drive with the dialog thingy.

it appears like this in a textbox
"C:\hi.txt"

is there anyway to get it to say only
"hi.txt"

but still refer to C:\hi.txt

Code:

Textbox1.text = hi.txt

Haha I don´t think that is the right but you should try something like this:

Code:

textbox1.text = C:\ 
textbox2.text = hi.txt

Dim location = Textbox1.text + textbox2.text

Textbox3.text = textbox2.text

Yeah use an openfiledialog

Code:

  Dim browse1 As New OpenFileDialog
        With browse1
            .Filter = "Executables (*.exe)|*.exe"
            .Title = "Please select a file..."
            .CheckFileExists = True
            .CheckPathExists = True
        End With
        If browse1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            TextBox1.Text = browse1.SafeFileName ' Makes it so its just the filename not path
        End If
