    OpenFileDialog for choosing txt OR directory (but nothing else)

    hi,

    is it possible to set the filter of an OpenFileDialog to allow only *.txt files OR directories to be choosen BUT nothing else ?
    and of course: if yes, how?

    thanx,

    Usul

    I would like someone to say otherwise, but I dont think that this is possible without maybe a custom control being made.

    The open file dialog is looking for just a file to be selected... so if you select a folder, it will just open the folder, not return it as the selected value. Then there is the folder dialog which has you browse for just a folder.

    For inputting a directory path from the user you use the FolderBrowserDialog control, not OpenFileDialog.
