Hi all,

Is there an alternative to GetFile() where the user can multi-select a bunc h of files? In some old code I used comdlg32.ocx - and it is working (on the same PC no less) but cannot get the code to work on the new machine.

First - if you have an alternative, that would be great.

Secondly, if you don't, anyone have a clue why this code is failing me when placed into a new project?

I get the error "class definition OLECOMMONDIALOGS is not found". I thought it was supposed to be in ComDlg32.ocx - maybe I am even wrong on this?

WITH THISFORM

* if no .ioGetFilesDialog property yet, need to create one; I tried to do this via defining a form property
* .ioGetFilesDialog and then using CREATEOBJECT() to fill it with an object but this does not work with OLE controls
* - they have to be dropped on the form during design time or added via .AddObject() at run time

IF NOT PEMSTATUS(THISFORM,"ioGetFilesDialog",5)
.NewObject("ioGetFilesDialog","oleCommonDialogs")
ENDIF

WITH .ioGetFilesDialog

* override the dialog title
STORE "Select files to to process" TO .DialogTitle

* set the default directory to the current directory
STORE SYS(5) + CURDIR() TO .InitDir

* fire the getfiles dialog
.GetFiles()

* if user picked any files, process them; if no files, just return as we will not alert them if they choose Cancel
IF .inFileCount = 0
RETURN
ENDIF
