OpenFileDialog

I'm using the dialog as a file selector function. I want the dialog to stay
open until the user Cancels. If I build my own handler for the FileOK event
that does nothing, will anything else in the dialog's innards get screwed
up?

Since the FileOK event uses a CancelEventHandler, I don't think anything
will go wrong if you cancel the operation.

A new question:

I have a form with an OFD control. I'm senfing OFD a filter thus: "Text
files|*.txt|All files|*.*", with FilterIndex=1. Everything shows OK. But if
I change the filter at the bottom of the dialog to the second choice, the
control does not repaint, i.e., I just have a blank display. If I press the
Open button, then the control repaints and displays the correct files
relative to the filter. This same thing happens if I do a local new OFD
rather than have it as a control.

Can anyone tell me what's going on and what I can do to make it work right?
