can i select multiple files?

[noshaba mariam]

I'm trying to attach some files. For this I'm using Show Open common dialogue control. But with this I could only be able to open/select one file at a time. Is there any property of common dialogue control with which i could be able to select multiple files at a time by pressing shift key. my code is as follows Private Sub fOpen_Click() cdlg1.CancelError = True On Error GoTo ErrHandler cdlg1.filename = "" cdlg1.DialogTitle = "Open Image File" cdlg1.Filter = "Image File(*.jpeg,*.jpg)|*.jpeg;*.jpg" cdlg1.FilterIndex = 1 cdlg1.ShowOpen ErrHandler: Exit Sub End Sub Noshaba Mariam

'I am using VB.NET Not VB 6 Dim op As New OpenFileDialog op.Multiselect = True If op.ShowDialog(Me) = DialogResult.OK Then Dim files() As String=op.FileNames End If !alien!

VB6, huh? OK. It's almost as easy, but surely not obvious how to do it. You have to set the Flags property of the CommonDialog before you show it.

Private Sub fOpen_Click()
cdlg1.CancelError = True
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
cdlg1.filename = ""
cdlg1.DialogTitle = "Open Image File"
cdlg1.Filter = "Image File(*.jpeg,*.jpg)|*.jpeg;*.jpg"
cdlg1.FilterIndex = 1
cdlg1.Flags = &H200
cdlg1.ShowOpen
ErrHandler:
Exit Sub
End Sub
