Remarks

The following example sets options for an Open dialog box, displays the dialog box, and saves the names of the files the user selects in a string array:

private void btnOpen_click(Object source, Event e)
{
    OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
    ofd.setDefaultExt("java");  //sets the default extension
    ofd.setFilter("Java files (*.java)|*.java|All files (*.*)|*.*"); //sets the file filter
    ofd.setFilterIndex(1);  //sets the filter that will be initially selected
    ofd.setInitialDir("c:\\program files");  //sets the initial directory
    int dlgResult = ofd.showDialog();
    if (dlgResult == DialogResult.OK) {
        String[] fnames = ofd.getFileNames(); //gets the names of the files the user chose
    }
}
