File browser

[stepone]

Hi all,

This is my first post here - I hope someone can help. I think there is probably an easy solution.

I am writing some code to import information from an Excel spreadsheet into my database. At the moment, the user types the Excel filename into a textbox and presses a button to pull in the information.

I want to add a button which will open a standard Windows file browser to allow the user to select the file - the textbox will then automatically populate with the filename.

I suppose there must be a standard control to do this - but I don't know what it is - can someone help ?

Thanks,
Peter.

Call the standard Windows File Open/Save dialog box

Doesn't anyone bother to search?

That would require effort.

Hi guys,

I had searched for "File Browser" but found nothing useful. If I'd known to search for "Common Dialog Box" then I probably would not have had to ask - when you are looking for something and dont know what its called, its sometimes hard to know what to put in the 'Search' box.

Like I said, it was my first post here, and I guess we all have to start somewhere.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction anyway.

Peter.

I'm sorry, we (or at least I) did not mean to be mean.
