Howto Use TOpenDialog
Simple and short guideline:
- Place a TOpenDialog widget on your form (anyplace, since it will be not visible).
- In your code write something similar to:
var
filename: string;
if OpenDialog1.Execute then
begin
filename := OpenDialog1.Filename;
ShowMessage(filename);
end;
The Execute method displays the file open dialog. It returns true when user has selected a file, false when user has aborted.
The Filename property returns the full filename including drive and path.
Note: This control only collects the filename. It does not actually open the file. Your code must do that.
