CommonDialog Question

[S.ystem]

i have a question on the commondialog conponent.....I need to know how to load a txt file that i pik from the commondialog into a richtextbox.....Please reply...Thanx Michael

Try this.

CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
RichTextBox1.LoadFile CommonDialog1.FileName, rtfText

The above example was short for simplicity sake. This next example is well commented and will handle errors (if cancel is selected).

On Error Resume Next

'Generate an error when cancel is pressed
CommonDialog1.CancelError = True
'Define the file-types
CommonDialog1.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt"
'Display the Open dialog
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen

'Make sure an error doesn't occur
If Err <> 32755 Then
    'Loads the file. Change rtfText to rtfRTF if you want the file to
    'be in RichText format
    RichTextBox1.LoadFile CommonDialog1.filename, rtfText
End If

Yep, you just have to use showsave instead of showload, and savefile intead of loadfile

CommonDialog1.ShowSave

RichTextBox1.SaveFile CommonDialog1.filename, rtfText
