Dialog.OpenFile (gb.qt4)
Static Function OpenFile ( [ Multi As Boolean ] ) As Boolean
Calls the file standard
Dialog to get the name of a file to open.
-
If Multi is
FALSE (the default), then the user can only select one file, and the path of the selected file is returned in the Path property.
-
If Multi is
TRUE, then the user can select several files, and the path of the selected files is returned as a string array in the Paths property.
This method returns
TRUE if the user clicked on the Cancel button,
and
FALSE if the user clicked on the OK button.
Examples
Dialog.Title = "Choose a file"
Dialog.Filter = ["*.txt", "Text Files", "*", "All files"]
Dialog.Path = "."
IF Dialog.OpenFile() THEN
RETURN ' User pressed Cancel -
ENDIF
This example shows how you can select multiple files with the OpenFile dialog. By setting the
Dialog.Path when the application starts the first time the dialog is opened it will show the users home directory.
