Getfile()

[shangrilla]

Hi:

I am using the getfile() to select a file from a location. How can I select mulitple files from that location? I cannot select mutiple files by pressing the CTRL key. I want to put these files in a array or something like it and load them one at a time.

GETFILE() will only return a single path\filename.

One way would be to use Windows Explorer and use OLE Drag and Drop onto the VFP control.

In the .OLEDragDrop event of the control you can then filter out unwanted filenames.

Alternatively you could populate a listbox, combobox or a multiselect grid using ADIR(), and use such a control as the source for your filenames

It seems to me there's a control either as part of windows/foxpro or downloadable from the UT which mimics the thing you find in the view designer, for instance which lets you select whatever you want out of a list of fields. Dave Dardinger

shangrilla-

Have you looked at the Foundation Classes/User Controls-
Table Mover, File Mover, Sort Mover, Super Mover from the Component Gallery?
