I'm having an issue with using the CommonDialog control when using the cdlOFNAllowMultiselect flag. when I hit the CommonDialog1.ShowOpen It will let me select as many files as I want but if I select more than 6 or 7 long filenames I get a single character of junk in the FileName property. If I select less that 5 it will return the files correctly and the GetNextFileName works correctly too. What can I do to enlarge the number of allowable files for Multiselect that will be returned?

What code you have ?

I tried such code with our SuiteControl sample and it show all files correctly:

Dim f As String

f = CommonDialog.FileName

While (f <> "")

Debug.Print f

f = CommonDialog.GetNextFileName

set the MaxFileSize property of the commondialog first.

the size is the buffer for all the strings combined.

so for example

cdlg.MaxFileSize = 6000
