Opening multiple files at once

[wordracr]

How would this be possible (with the common dialog box)

I know other programs let you select more than one file from the dialog box. How would you do this in vb? I tried clicking with control held down, but that didn't work.


Also, is there a way you can resize a picture box at runtime with the mouse? Or does anyone know of a control that would let you do this?

cd1.Flags = cdlOFNExplorer Or cdlOFNAllowMultiselect Or cdlOFNHideReadOnly ' yah this makes it multiselect

cd1.MaxFileSize = 2048 'allots more space for the extra filenames so it doesnt run out.

CD1. is the common dialog

o yeh and to read it after:

If InStr(cd1.FileName, vbNullChar) = 0 Then List1.AddItem cd1.FileName
With cd1
iCounter = 1
        sfolder = Mid(.FileName, 1, InStr(iCounter, .FileName, vbNullChar) - 1)
        Do Until InStr(iCounter + 1, .FileName, vbNullChar) = 0
            iCounter = InStr(iCounter + 1, .FileName, vbNullChar) + 1
            If InStr(iCounter, .FileName, vbNullChar) = 0 Then
                List1.AddItem sfolder & "\" & Mid(.FileName, iCounter)
            Else
                List1.AddItem sfolder & "\" & Mid(.FileName, iCounter, InStr(iCounter + 1, .FileName, vbNullChar) - iCounter)
            End If
        Loop
 
End With
