Filter not working correctly in OpenFileDialog

ricecake

Hello, I am experiencing some weirdness with my OpenFileDialog filter. When I first open the dialog, the filter works and shows me the files with the filename scheme that I specify. However, if I select a different filter, then all the files disappear from the list. In addition, if I manually type the filter into the filename field and press Enter, then the files show up again. Here is a snippet where I create the dialog:

System::Void button_xmtr_Click(System::Object *  sender, System::EventArgs *  e)
{
	OpenFileDialog* dlg = new OpenFileDialog();
	dlg->Title = S"Choose Transmitter file";
	dlg->InitialDirectory = S"input";
	dlg->Filter = S"Transmitter files (xmtr*.dat)|xmtr*.dat|DAT files (*.dat)|*.dat|All files (*.*)|*.*";
	if (dlg->ShowDialog() == DialogResult::OK) {
		textbox_xmtr->Text = dlg->FileName;
	}
}

Has anybody else run into this problem? Does anybody know of a workaround? Thanks. -- Marcus Kwok

OK, now I'm really confused. I used this exact same code in a test app and it works perfectly there! It still does not work right in my main app though :confused: -- Marcus Kwok
