Hi,

It can be done, the trick is, indeed, to 'decode' the return message. The
returned message is an 'array' of strings, inLV a string, with elements
seperated with 'NULL', the string ends with 'NULL','NULL', if recall
correcttly.

Another thing is the API you call; GetOpenFileNameW will return names in UNI
code, use GetOPenFileNameA will return names in ASCII, wich is a lot easier
to work with in LV.

Regard,

Wiebe Walstra.

Hi!

Is there a po
ssibility to select and open more then one file in some of the
standard file dialogs under LabView at the same time?
A lot of windows programs are supporting multi file selection in their file
open dialog.
I tried to call the GetOpenFileNameW function of the comdlg32.dll but I've
got some problems with the datatype it needs. Non zero-length strings result
to a lot of strange characters in the dialog.
