TOpenDialog filter not working
« on: February 12, 2024, 02:21:42 pm »
Lazarus 2.2.4
FPC 3,2.2
OpenSUSE
I set the filter property in the component to .dot. It did not filter
I also tried out .csv the same result
Some time ago it worked and now it is broken?
Thanks for your attention

In the hint section at the bottom  I read that it is a string 
I tried many things     *.dot   -   .dot   - '.dot'   - dot
None of them worked

Hi
How about:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. ...
  2. dlg.Filter:= 'Dot files(*.dot)|*.dot;All files(*.*)|*.*';
  3.  
From the top of my head, totally untested...
Regards Benny

Yes thank you
I changed the Filter at run time and it worked
I changed it at design time and it worked
Maye the vertical bar was essential

Yes, it is. It separates the description text and the list of real extensions the filter applies to.
