Once you've used the multi style on a filedlg all future filedlgs also have the multi style set Exclamation

Contrary to the help file stating that: "These options are mutually exclusive: you cannot select multiple files to save." you can effectively end up with both save and multi set at the same time. Shocked

Code:
  DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,240,160
  DIALOG HIDE

  %A = @filedlg(,,,multi)

  # BUG! multi style is still active
  %A = @filedlg(,,,save)

  # BUG! multi style is still active
  %A = @filedlg()

Once the multi style has been used there does not seem to be a way to turn it off for future filedlgs Question


The same bug applies to setting a title:

Code:
  DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,240,160
  DIALOG HIDE

  %F = @filedlg(,choose file,,)

  # BUG! choose file title still active
  %A = @filedlg(,,,SAVE)

  # BUG! choose file title still active
  %A = @filedlg(,,,)

Dave,
I have never noticed this issue before and that is probably because I have always filled out all of the arguments for this function. However I have noticed the threads that the @filedlg opens do not close right when the dialog closes. This leaves me to believe that the original File dialog is still in memory and it would stand to reason that it's settings are still there too. Sorry I cannot be of much help but my comments may give CR a clue as to were to look for this bug.

I think VDS is just caching the flags. You can however overwrite the flags.
Unfortunately, NULL won't clear a non-Null flag.

eg:
Code:
DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,240,160
  DIALOG HIDE

  %A = @filedlg(,Choose File,,)

  %A = @filedlg(,Open File,,Open)

  %A = @filedlg(,Save File,,Save)

 exit


As for the MULTI style there is no anti-style for this.

I wonder if this might not even be a VDS bug, and perhaps a Delphi one.
