VB Common Dialog Box

[Jagveer]

Dear Friends,

I'm facing a small problem in VB6. I want to use common dialog
box (open) for selecting multiple files at a time like in winamp
you can choose multiple files with SHIFT or CTRL. But whenever
I write code and run It display dialog box quite old type and
files names are in 8.3 format. I can't see standard dialog. When
I rewrite the code for normal single file, it works fine.
Please help as how to display common dialog (open) to select
multiple files at a time.

Please help me !

Yes, this is annoying thing in VB. I think it must be solved via API...Not nice, not nice. Stupid Microsoft designers. And with API it gets way more complicated. That is why I always make my own open window when I want to have multiple files. Maybe not a standard, maybe doesn't look great, but hey, easier than API way!
