CommonDialog Question

i have a question on the commondialog conponent.....I need to know how to load a txt file that i pik from the commondialog into a richtextbox.....Please reply...Thanx Michael

Try this.

Code:

---

CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
RichTextBox1.LoadFile CommonDialog1.FileName, rtfText

---

The above example was short for simplicity sake. This next example is well commented and will handle errors (if cancel is selected).

Code:

---

On Error Resume Next

'Generate an error when cancel is pressed
CommonDialog1.CancelError = True
'Define the file-types
CommonDialog1.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt"
'Display the Open dialog
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen

'Make sure an error doesn't occur
If Err <> 32755 Then
    'Loads the file. Change rtfText to rtfRTF if you want the file to
    'be in RichText format
    RichTextBox1.LoadFile CommonDialog1.filename, rtfText
End If

Thanx you two....I really appreciate it.

I need the code just like above but to save it...sorry so many questions..Thanx S.ystem

Yep, you just have to use showsave instead of showload, and savefile intead of loadfile

Code:

---

CommonDialog1.ShowSave

RichTextBox1.SaveFile CommonDialog1.filename, rtfText
