Add file dialog from the component (I named as fDlgOpen) the use the below code.


Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. 'Refresh filename in filename text box
  3. fDlgOpen.FileName = ""
  4. 'filter by file type
  5.             fDlgOpen.Filter = "JPEG Files|*.jpg|TextFiles|*.txt"
  6. 'showing dialogbox
  7.             fDlgOpen.ShowDialog()
