simple question?

[Marci S]

Hello all,


can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to display a CommonDialog1 for the user to select a file and the code that I'm using works because I tested it however, when I place it in my program it doesn't work and gives me the following error: "Object Required"

======================
Here's my code
--------------

Private Sub cmdBrowsePDFFile_Click()

On Error Resume Next
With CommonDialog1
.CancelError = True
.DialogTitle = "Testing Browse"
.Filter = "*.pdf"
.flags = cdlOFNHideReadOnly + cdlOFNFileMustExist
.ShowOpen
If Err = cdlCancel Then
Exit Sub
End If
txtPDFFile.Text = .FileName
End With

ErrHandler:
' User pressed the Cancel button

End Sub

============================

My modules:
-----------


Option Explicit

Public Type BrowseInfo
hwndOwner As Long
pIDLRoot As Long
pszDisplayName As Long
lpszTitle As Long
ulFlags As Long
lpfnCallback As Long
lParam As Long
iImage As Long
End Type

Public Const BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS = 1
Public Const MAX_PATH = 260

Public Declare Sub CoTaskMemFree Lib "ole32.dll" (ByVal hMem As Long)
Public Declare Function lstrcat Lib "kernel32" Alias "lstrcatA" (ByVal lpString1 As String, ByVal lpString2 As String) As Long
Public Declare Function SHBrowseForFolder Lib "shell32" (lpbi As BrowseInfo) As Long
Public Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList Lib "shell32" (ByVal pidList As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long

Where does the error occur?

[Marci S]

as soon as it goes into the function -- if I REM out the first line: "On Error Resume Next"

then it stops at "With CommonDialog1"



Thanks!

Works fine for me.
Do you have the dialog control on your form?

Also, your filter is wrong:

should be like this:


.Filter = "PDF Files(*.pdf)|*.pdf*"

[kedaman]

Is the commondialog control in another form? Is the code in a module?
Then you'd have to refer to the control as an item of the form

with form1.Commondialog1

BTW, is the commondialog named Commondialog1?

Hello all,

I don't know how this happened but I think I acidently deleted the CommonDialog control -- I added it back in and now it works! Just one more question, does anyone know how to set the default path when the CommonDialog appears. For, example, I want it to display c:\test
Thanks!

CommonDialog1.InitDir = "C:\Test"
