Selecting Multiple Files in a dialog using the standard Windows appearance

[EKrizo]

In my application I want to allow users to select multiple files within a folder and then click "ok" or "cancel". I also want to keep the standard windows look for doing this, which is shown in program like Windows Media Player (all files are listed in quotes separated by spaces in the file name box).

Hello EKrizo,

There have been several EPDs (Example Program Documents) written to perform the functionality you are requiring. The latest two use two different methods, ActiveX and a Windows dll. I haven�t tested out the ActiveX version, so I don�t know how it looks, but I wrote the Windows dll one, and it uses the standard Windows Explorer look. You�ll just have to play around with both of them to see which will work best for your application. I have attached both of them below. Please let me know how it goes.

If none of these suggestions help, or if I�m not correctly understanding your issue, please reply with comments or answers to the discussion above and any additional information that may help, and I�ll be happy to look further into it
.

Have a nice day!

Hi Robert,

would you mind publishing the windows.dll solution in LV 7.0 format?

Thanks
