[RESOLVED] Opening Files

[Justin M]

Hey guys I was wondering how do I open files like most programs have?

Is there a windows api for that? I would like to open and look for avi files and then the file that is chosen gets its location and filename added to text1?

What type of file and what do you need to open it for?

[Zach_VB6]

Function GetFileLocation() As String
   
    With CommonDialog
    .ShowOpen
    GetFileLocation = .FileName
    End With

End Function

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Text1.Text = GetFileLocation
End Sub

Control : Microsoft Common Dialog Control
