C++ Builder Opening/Reading and Displaying Files

[andymejias]

I am stuck on a problem that I am certain someone has already done. I use, in Borland C++ Builder 3 (kind of old):

TOpenDialog* dlg=new TOpenDialog(this);
dlg->Title="Open a New File";
dlg->Execute();

It opens the dialog box and I select a sample .txt file or .doc file to open. Then it's the problem. I have tried several examples and cannot seem to display its contents in either a memo field box or grid box. Anyone know how I can write the code to display the selected file?

I would like to keep the top part as it is, without having to change that part, which works.

Are you trying to display (just display) the contents, or are you trying to edit them as well?
