CommonDialog Max Entires

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   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 Wend

	set the MaxFileSize property of the commondialog first. the size is the buffer for all the strings combined. so for example cdlg.MaxFileSize = 6000
