OpenDialog MultiSelect Help, Please

General

I would like to use the OpenDialog.MultiSelect in a Windows environment to allow the user to select multiple files at once. The example in the documentation seems to be lacking the details.

The language reference states “To obtain a list of all the selected FolderItems we’ve added the Item(zeroBasedIndex As Integer) As FolderItem and Count As Integer properties.” I can see the Count in the example, but not the “Item”. The example also seems to stop without showing how to access the multiple folderitems selected by the user.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve updated the example on OpenDialog.Multiselect with this:

[code]
Dim dlg As New OpenDialog
dlg.ActionButtonCaption = “Select Files”
dlg.CancelButtonCaption = “Cancel”
dlg.SuggestedFileName = “”
dlg.Title = “Select Files”
dlg.PromptText = “Select one or more files”
dlg.InitialDirectory = SpecialFolder.Documents
dlg.MultiSelect = True
Dim f as FolderItem = dlg.ShowModal()
Dim fileCount As Integer = dlg.Count

For i As Integer = 0 To fileCount - 1
Listbox1.AddRow(dlg.Item(i).Name)
Next[/code]

Thank you, Paul - much appreciated.
