Hi,

Am I overlooking something or is @FILEDLG always starting in the path(%0) folder?
I tried to put a DIRECTORY CHANGE before it but it still opens in the program folder.
Maybe this is something for the wish list: an extra parameter for @FILEDLG which indicates the folder the dialog should start in.

And last but not least: A very good 2005 for all in good health!

Try putting %%targetdir\*.txt or whatever in the filename field. If you implement code to store the last file saved or opened, and always put that there, it will always open in the last directory you used.

I tried that Jules and although it does show the right folder that way it will not show any *.txt files in that folder. It looks as if you either see *.txt files when supplying just *.txt in the filename or an empty folderview when supplying a full pathname\*.txt.
I'll experiment a bit more in the new year, right now it's family time.

Happy New Year!

I did some more tests, but I either get the right folder but without the dialog showing files in it or I get the default folder with files showing according to the supplied filemask.
So I still would appreciate an extra parameter that specifies the path.

JRoza I am a bit busy to look into it but U can give a try to the filedlg in VDSGUI extension...

Thanks Codescript,

I looked thru the vdsgui helpfile but all I can find is a DIRDLG.
Is there a FILEDLG as well in vdsgui?

Surprised

OOPS True .. I had initially planned to add both but then kept only dirdlg as the dirdlg of VDS5 couldn't be customised while filedlg of vds5 was working well with custom backgrounds.

Not sure if this helps.. try leaving the last parameter blank

Thanks Jules!
You're right (as usual) this works.
It turned out I changed the mask in the first parameter instead of using the third parameter.
My mistake.
