Here’s one way: Stream myStream = null; OpenFileDialog theDialog = new OpenFileDialog(); theDialog.Title = “Open Text File”; theDialog.Filter = “TXT files|*.txt”; theDialog.InitialDirectory = @”C:\”; if (theDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { try { if ((myStream = theDialog.OpenFile()) != null) { using (myStream) { // Insert code to read the stream here. } } } catch (Exception ex) … Read more
Technically, it is possible. The shell dialog used by FolderBrowseDialog has the ability to return both files and folders. Unfortunately, that capability isn’t exposed in .NET. Not even reflection can poke the required option flag. To make it work, you’d have to P/Invoke SHBrowseForFolder() with the BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES flag turned on in BROWSEINFO.ulFlags (value = 0x4000). … Read more
To filter only certain types of file use Filter Property OpenFileDialog1.Filter = “Image Files (JPG,PNG,GIF)|*.JPG;*.PNG;*.GIF”; To get the file extension use the Path helper GetFileExtension if (OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) string ext = Path.GetExtension(OpenFileDialog1.FileName);
For OpenFileDialog: OpenFileDialog choofdlog = new OpenFileDialog(); choofdlog.Filter = “All Files (*.*)|*.*”; choofdlog.FilterIndex = 1; choofdlog.Multiselect = true; if (choofdlog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { string sFileName = choofdlog.FileName; string[] arrAllFiles = choofdlog.FileNames; //used when Multiselect = true } For FolderBrowserDialog: FolderBrowserDialog fbd = new FolderBrowserDialog(); fbd.Description = “Custom Description”; if (fbd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { string sSelectedPath … Read more
You must set the OpenFileDialog.Multiselect Property value to true, and then access the OpenFileDialog.FileNames property. Check this sample private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { InitializeOpenFileDialog(); } private void InitializeOpenFileDialog() { // Set the file dialog to filter for graphics files. this.openFileDialog1.Filter = “Images (*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF)|*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF|” + “All files (*.*)|*.*”; // Allow the user to select … Read more
Tkinter is the easiest way if you don’t want to have any other dependencies. To show only the dialog without any other GUI elements, you have to hide the root window using the withdraw method: import tkinter as tk from tkinter import filedialog root = tk.Tk() root.withdraw() file_path = filedialog.askopenfilename() Python 2 variant: import Tkinter, … Read more
Updated I’m fairly certain you are referring to the “Quick File Chooser” plugin. As someone else points out, though, there are several other candidates. I list them below… The Quick File Chooser Plugin: By default CTRL–SHIFT–O opens the Open Project dialog, and once the plugin is installed, you will get the dialog pictured here automatically: … Read more
Use OpenFileDialog.SafeFileName OpenFileDialog.SafeFileName Gets the file name and extension for the file selected in the dialog box. The file name does not include the path.
Long story short: The solution is to show user interactions from a class, that is part of the view component. This means, such a class must be a class that is unknown to the view model and therefore can’t be invoked by the view model. The solution of course can involve code-behind implementations as code-behind … Read more
You can try this one: QString QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory ( QWidget * parent = 0, const QString & caption = QString(), const QString & dir = QString(), Options options = ShowDirsOnly ) [static] This one is used to choose a directory, and will popup a dialog like you show at last. Demo: QString dir = QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(this, tr(“Open … Read more
