Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): Origin 7.5SR6
Operating System: Win2000

Hi,

I'm using FindFiles to list all files of a particular type in a folder but one problem is that when I/users click 'Cancel' it still returns all the file types.

I use eg

FindFiles(AllFiles, PathBuffer, "xls");
AllFiles.Sort();
int NumPlates=AllFiles.GetSize();
int NumFiles=NumPlates;

How can I trap when the dialog is cancelled / closed without pressing OK?

Cheers,

pete

Hi Pete,

FindFiles does not generate a dialog so you must have asked for the extension earlier in your code.

Hi Mike,

I was of course writing nonsense. I used getfile to select a file - this crashes out if I select cancel...should I be using GetOPenBOx then?

Cheers,

Pete

Might be easier since it returns the path as string. Then use if( strPath.IsEmpty() ) return.
