[RESOLVED] Enabling "All Files" in Common Dialog

Hi all,

I couldn't figure this out. How can I make it so there is "all files" in the common dialog control's filter?

the normal way to put a filter in there would be like

cdl.Filter = "Mp3 (*.mp3)|*.mp3|"

How do you do All Files?

Like this should work. (freehand)

VB Code:

cdl.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*|"

or do you mean mp3 AND all files?

Here's an example of multiple types:

VB Code:

CommonDialog1.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*|Text" & _
      "Files (*.txt)|*.txt|Batch Files (*.bat)|*.bat"
   CommonDialog1.FilterIndex = 2 ' Default to TEXT

Nope, I was just using that as an example. You were just thinking too hard :)
