When using the cdlOFNAllowMultiselect flag in the Open Files common dialog, how do i pass the paths, or names of all the files that the user selected? I have tried passing file name, but it gives me errors.

I have never seen examples using this function, and MSDN seems to only have the cdlOFNAllowMultiselect listed with other flags, no examples.

thanks!

Hi,

The FileName property after multiple files have been selected contains a list of filenames separated by spaces " ". If you are using VB6 you can then use the Split function to return an array of filenames.
If you are using earlier versions check out the MSDN on how to simulate the split (and other) string functions.

One problem is that the AllowMultiSelect flag is not compatible with one of the other flags, the one that allows long filenames. The problem is that the files come back space delimited and if long filenames are enabled, it could include a space in the name. The workaround is to set multiselect and also select the explorer flag. This allows long filenames and multiple files but the files are NULL delimited. Also, it only works under 32 bit windows.
