File Open Dialog

Allows you to choose a file to open. This is a standard Windows dialog. Pressing F1 will bring up some standard Windows help popup tips.

The primary fields are:

File Name: Select or type the name of the document or program you want to open. This box lists documents with the file name extension selected in the List Files Of Type box. You can use the mouse or cursor to navigate through the file/folder display above the File Name field. To see a list of files with a particular extension, type an asterisk (*), a period, and the three-character extension, and then press ENTER in the File Name field. To see files with more than one file name extension, type a semicolon (;), a second asterisk (*), a period, and another three-character extension. For example, if you want to see all files with the .TXT extension and all files with the .INI extension, type *.txt;*.ini.

List files of Type: Select the type of files you want to see in the File Name list.

Directories: Select the directory where the files you want reside.

Drive: Select the drive where the files you want reside.

OK button: The file you selected will be used.

Cancel button: The file will not be used.
