Filling FileOpenDialog with filenames containing wildcards

Author	Message
Bronwyn wadswort #1 / 2	Filling FileOpenDialog with filenames containing wildcards I want to fill the FileOpenDialog with a list of files matching a selection criteria which contains wildcards. eg RD????.PTR I find that I can only select by the extension of the file name, therefore getting .PTR Is there a way around this? Even being able to show RD.PTR would be a help. -- Bronwyn Wadsworth Fareham Lane RD1 Blenheim NEW ZEALAND Phone/fax (03) 5729369 Mobile (021) 471 810

John #2 / 2	Filling FileOpenDialog with filenames containing wildcards I am assuming you are talking of the Common Dialog control. Have you tried setting the dlgName.FileName property to the filter you want, before displaying the dialog?
