Multiselect problem with listbox

[kimiraikkonen]

Hello,
I have openfiledialog control named "openfileplayli st" and multi-
selectpropert is TRUE. But although i select more than one files using
"shift+arro ws", i only get one file listed in my listbox.

What's wrong?

Code:

If openfileplaylis t.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.D ialogResult.OK Then

ListBox1.Items. Add(System.IO.P ath.GetFileName (openfileplayli st.FileName))

Else

kimiraikkonen,

Did you look in the online help for the openfiledialog' s MultiSelect
property? The online help clearly explains that the selected filenames are
returned in the openfiledialog' s FileNames property.

The FileNames property is an array of strings. Each element of the array is
one of the selected filenames.

One option would be to loop through the FileNames array, adding each
filename to the listbox:

For Each f As String In openfileplaylis t.FileNames
ListBox1.Items. Add(System.IO.P ath.GetFileName (f))
Next

Mr. Moorman,
Very thanks. It worked!

But also i want to ask this, how could be the code that inserts the
"full path" of each files (multi-selection) into listbox1 instead of
only filenames?

Thanks.

kimiraikkonen,

I think the FileNames array contains the full path, so in that case you
would not want to use the GetFileName method:

For Each f As String In openfileplaylis t.FileNames
ListBox1.Items. Add(f)
Next
