[RESOLVED] CommonDialog Control Multi Select

[dglienna]

I'm not sure what you mean, but here's the routine that I use:

Private Sub cmdOpen_Click()
  ' CancelError is True.
   On Error GoTo ErrHandler
   ' Set Flags
    CommonDialog1.Flags = cdlOFNAllowMultiselect Or cdlOFNLongNames
   ' Set filters.
   CommonDialog1.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*|Text" & _
      "Files (*.txt)|*.txt|Batch Files (*.bat)|*.bat"
   ' Specify default filter.
   CommonDialog1.FilterIndex = 2 ' Picks TEXT as default
   ' Display the Open dialog box.
   CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
   ' Call the open file procedure.
 '  OpenFile (CommonDialog1.FileName)
   Exit Sub
 
ErrHandler:
' User pressed Cancel button.
   Exit Sub
 
End Sub

Filename returns this, you'd have to split() on the space between names.

Is there any way I can change the interface for that thou?

There are two basic interfaces to the ShowOpen method. The one shown depends on the inclusion of the cdlOFNExplorer flag.

CommonDialog1.Flags = cdlOFNAllowMultiselect Or cdlOFNLongNames Or cdlOFNExplorer

There are other flags that let you manipulate the interface

cdlOFNHelpButton - adds a Help button
cdlOFNHideReadOnly - hide the "Open as ReadOnly" checkbox.
