Making a custom filter in FileBrowserInfo default

[WelshyWizard]

I'm using Paradox 8.

I have the following code which creates a customfilter file type of .rep

fbiXfile.Options=browseOptPathMustExit
fbiXfile.Alias=":PM:"
fbiXfile.CustomFilter = "(Report) *.rep|*.rep||"

What I want to do is to have this custom file type as my default upon opening the file browser.

I know there is something available like

fbiXfile.DefaultExt="TXT"

but I can't get this to work....

Any ideas guys and girls?

Cheers.

Forget the defaultExt parameter.

By supplying the .rep in the custom filter, the file browser will show only those files.

I used your exact code, after creating a .rep file. Worked as it should.

Now, if you want to CREATE a file, use the defaultExt and make it .rep or .txt (note the period).
