LONGFILTER="filters" specifies one or more file filters to use as search criteria for displaying files in the Open dialog box. The first filter in the argument list is the default filter and is used as the search criteria. All of the filters in the argument list are added to the list of filters in the Files of type: combo box. To search for additional file types, you would select another filter from the Files of type: combo box.
dlgopen longfilter="*.text|*.Bob's work|*.*XX"
dlgopen filter='*.bak *.txt'
Note | The difference between LONGFILTER=“filters” and FILTER='filters' is the use of spaces and quotation marks. Use LONGFILTER=“filters” if filters contain spaces and single quotation marks. If you use FILTER='filters', filters cannot contain spaces and single quotation marks. |
