I have created a program that opens a file and counts words, characters,
sentences, etc. I have not used the open file dialog control found in the VB
..NET 2003 toolbox. I instead have used Open.ShowDialog(). What I want to do
is filter the open file so that only text files (*.txt) can be opened.

The project I am working with has two projects and one solution. The main
project uses Open as the variable for the Open file dialog. the The second
project uses Obj.Openfile.
 
Charlie,

Can you show us a little piece of code.
Open.ShowDialog confuses me (and probably others as well), it means a form
that you have instanced as Open and shows it than.

Click to expand...

OpenFileDialog has a 'Filter' property...
 
Here is the code which is being used to open a file and then process words,
characters, etc. What I want to do is filter the file types so that only
text files can be opened.

Private Sub btnAnalyzeFile_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnAnalyzeFile.Click

Me.txtBoxInput.Clear()

Dim Open As New OpenFileDialog

Dim Obj As New Unit5ClassLibrary.StringProcessor.StringProcessor



Try

If Open.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then

Obj.Openfile(Open.FileName)

Me.txtBoxCharacters.Text = Obj.characters

Me.txtBoxWords.Text = Obj.words

Me.txtBoxSentence.Text = Obj.sentences

Me.txtBoxParagraph.Text = Obj.paragraphs

End If

Catch er As Exception

MsgBox(er.Message)

Finally

End Try





End Sub
