Title: List specific file types from FILELISTBOX control
Post by: oradba4u on December 28, 2021, 08:18:45 PM

All:
I'd like to list only specific file types (i.e. *.txt) instead of all files in GetDir() in my Dialog Box. Is this possible? Am I using the wrong control?

Thanks in advance

If you look up FileListBox Control in the Help file and read that top section, assuming I understand, I think that answers the question.

If the OP is referring to the FileListBox control used in WIL dialogs, the following Consolidated WIL Help file topic explains how to specify a file mask for the control.
