Common Dialog Filtering

[AliBail]

Hi, I have a problem, When using the commondialog to load files, you can set a filter eg:

            .Filter = "All Supported Formats (All Supported)|*.htm"

How do I do a filter on multiple extensions at once, and also, how do I add multiple choices to the filter?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I don't know about multiple extensions at once, but for multiple filters, just keep using the pipe as a separator :

.Filter = "All Supported Formats (All Supported)|*.htm|All Files|*.*"

Thanks,

Thier is a way to do it for multiple types at once though right?

To do multiple exentions

.Filter = "All Supported Formats (All Supported)|*.htm, *.asp,*.jsp,*.aspx|All Files|*.*"

Thank you, I tried commas, but never occured to me it may need spaces as well. THanks

.Filter = "All Supported Formats (All Supported)|*.htm;*.asp;*.jsp;*.aspx|"

That's the stylez

[moinkhan]

CommonDialog1.Filter = "All Files|*.*|Picture Fiels|*.jpg;*.gif;*.bmp"

What error r u getting?

I'm not getting any errors from that code, but from your previous post, you have used comma's (,) instead of semicolons ( and that wasn't working.
