select multiple files *RESOLVED*

[Joacim Andersson]

You need to use the cdlOFNAllowMultiSelect flag. The help file states that the filenames are separated with spaces which is not correct when you use the Explorer style. Instead the filenames are separated with NULL characters. The first part only contains the path and the rest are the different filenames selected.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim strFile() As String, strPath As String
    Dim n As Long, nCount As Long
    On Error Resume Next
    With CommonDialog1
        .Flags = cdlOFNAllowMultiselect + cdlOFNExplorer
        .CancelError = True
        .InitDir = "C:\"
        .DialogTitle = "Select File"
        
        .ShowOpen
        If Err.Number <> cdlCancel Then
            strFile = Split(.FileName, vbNullChar)
            nCount = UBound(strFile)
            If nCount = 0 Then
                'Only one file is selected so split up the path and the filename
                ReDim strFile(1)
                strFile(0) = Left$(.FileName, InStrRev(.FileName, "\"))
                strFile(1) = Mid$(.FileName, InStrRev(.FileName, "\") + 1)
                nCount = 1
            End If
            strPath = strFile(0)
            If Right$(strPath, 1) <> "\" Then
                strPath = strPath & "\"
            End If
            For n = 1 To nCount
                If Len(Dir(FAVORITES_FOLDER & strFile(n))) = 0 Then
                    FileCopy strPath & strFile(n), FAVORITES_FOLDER & strFile(n)
                End If
            Next
        End If
    End With
End Sub
