TFileNameEdit Extension Not Triggered

[mudah]

Dear all,

I register a few extension in FileNameEdit.Filter. But everytime I choose a file, FileNameEdit.text only show a filename without extension.

If I set defaultExt (.txt), it will always use .txt even if I choose different extension from the Dialog.

Can someone help me please? or should I proceed with bug report?

Thanks a lot Eny for your reply

And there is a bug because...?

...because it never show file extension. Say I choose DialogKind = dkSave then I execute the Dialog, then I choose MyFile with extension .pas. The output given by .Text or .FileName will show C:\MyFolder\MyFile without .PAS at the end.

Perhaps I miss out to find similarity between TFileNameEdit and TOpenDialog. Can you help me point out where should I start to get the file extension appear in .FileName property?

Thanks a lot!

In general it works best to post (part of the) code where it shows what you have done with the components. Now we have to guess.

My best guess is that you didn't configure the filter property correctly, which is on the page I gave you:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. // Allow only .dpr and .pas files to be selected
2. openDialog.Filter := 'Delphi project files|*.dpr|Delphi pascal files|*.pas';

Hi Eny

Perhaps I messed up too much with FileNameEdit property which causing this kind of problem. After recreating back FileNameEdit component in my form, issue gone.

Thank you so much for your help up to this stage.


Best!
