Common Dialog Box 's InitDir property

Hey all.

Anybody had this problem?

I have a common dialog box for opening jpg files.

I have specified at design time and at run time the initial directory. but when the application runs, it always opens to the current directory (app.path)

As I said, i set the property on the control's property box and then I even added a line to the Form_Load:

cdbOpenPic.InitDir = "C:\my folder\jpgs\"

Still, it opens in the app.path


So, anybody know why?

I have no problem, but are you displaying the correct folder path?

Sorry? displaying where?

WHen the cdb opens, the Look In: folder is vb98 ( in the vbp version of the app) and the app.path (in the exe version).

I just don't see why the cdb doesnt open to the folder that I typed in as the initial directory in the control's properties box.

This code works for me:

Code:

---

'CommonDialog1.InitDir = "C:\my folder\jpgs\"
CommonDialog1.InitDir = "C:\Windows\System\"

---

What I mean is, are you stating the right folder? Perhaps its myfolder\jpgs and not my folder\jpgs?

no it wasn't. I'm retarded.


there was no space in the actual pathname, it just looked like it.

When I pasted the pathname into the code, it worked fine.

Thanks so much.
