CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

[Krool]

I may have found a slight difference in how VBCCR (still using 12) implements the CommonDialog.FilterIndex property as compared to Microsoft's. Our original code would specify a new value for .FilterIndex, then show the file open dialog, and then again read from .FilterIndex to see what file type the user selected.

Using VBCCR12, the .FilterIndex property does not get updated after the file selection. (It always returns back the same default which was set originally). However, reading MSDN ([1] and [2]) I'm not actually sure what it is supposed to do. It sounds like perhaps it is meant to be used ONLY for setting the default (not for reading the user's selection). But nonetheless the Microsoft version seemed to allow that and even if that was a bug on their part, it is now a difference in behavior.

I'm curious what your opinion of this issue is. Is there an approach for getting the selected filter (other than parsing the selected filename)?

Update released.
Thanks
