OpenFileDialog problems

[Sale]

Hi all,

 

 

I'm having a bit of a problem with OpenFileDialog and FileFilter.

 

This is my code:

 

private void btnBrowse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {

OpenFileDialog ofdMsgPath = new OpenFileDialog();

 

ofdMsgPath.CheckFileExists = true;

ofdMsgPath.InitialDirectory = "c:\\";

ofdMsgPath.Filter = "Text files (*.TXT)|*.TXT|HTML files (*.HTM, *.HTML)|*.HTM;*.HTML|All files (*.*)|*.*";

ofdMsgPath.FilterIndex = 1;

ofdMsgPath.RestoreDirectory = true;

ofdMsgPath.ShowReadOnly = true;

ofdMsgPath.ReadOnlyChecked = true;

 

if (ofdMsgPath.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {

txtFile.Text = ofdMsgPath.FileName;

}

}

 

 

Now, this works fine until I change the filter during runtime which causes the whole content of the current directory to disappear.

 

Also html/htm file icon is replaced with the one for unrecognised file types!?

 

Have no idea what is going wrong.

 

Any help/guidence would be appriciated.

 

Thanks

Are you changing the filter of the dialog in code or you mean when you open the dialog and select a file type from the dropdown list?

When I open the dialog and select a file type from the dropdown list.

 

Sorry for the confusion.

If you change the filter then the dialog may seem empty as there is no files of the selected type there. If thats not the case I cant help you much here as that or the icon change didnt happen to me when I tested the code.

I don't think that's the problem as all directories disappear as well.

 

The wierd thing is that I don't remember having this problem few days ago. It must be something I changed along the way.

 

Thanks for you help.
