openfiledialog

It might sound dumb question to l33ts sitting out there, forgive me for this since i am just starting vb from the scratch

I am making a project in which i will allow users to select the files form the hard drive, the problem is i don't know where to look for OpenFileDialog control so that i can put it on my form & move ahead with the coding part

here is how my tool box looks like in which i can't seem to find the OpenFileDialog control

Is there any other place where i might need to look for the control

Regards

Welcome to the forums. :wave:

In VB6 it is called the CommonDialog control and can be found under Project/Components

You need to add it to your toolbox (for each project in which you wish to use it)

Welcome to the forums :wave:

Check the link in my signature "Common Dialog Control"

Thanks both of you for helping hand

Just look @ the image, because it seems like my components are different

There is a good chance this question is about VB.Net instead of VB too.

Sounds like i am in the wrong board

But, i have got visual basic 6.0

A little bit confused ?

Ok, if you have VB6 that's half the battle, one less complication anyway.

What image? Image tags don't actually work with external links here. I tried looking at your linked image:

However that's a dicey non-work Web site according to the thought police here at work and it is blocked.

Being able to see the image. The OP is at Microsoft Windows Common Controls....

Scroll up and look for Microsoft Common Dialog Control 6.0 (SP6)



Good Luck

If you would have gone carefully through the tutorial then you would have found which option you need to click ;)

I would recommend reading it again... Perhaps... more slowly is time?

Ahh yes, be able to see the images helps a lot ;)

It is clear now the list was just scrolled down too far.

I replied to koolsid's tutorial with some additional useful information you'll want to get your common dialogs to look better.
