how to create a file browsing box

[kzhu]

Hi experts,

I want to bring out a file choosing dialog box to the user, so that he/she can choose a file without typing its name. I am wondering whether there is built-in function of Visual Fortran, or is there any ActiveX ready for use. How to use it?

Thank you very much,

beginner

There is a CVF sample program called GETOPENFILENAME that demonstrates this - it uses the GetOpenFileName Win32 API routine.

My [http://www.geocities.com/jdujic/fortran/xft/xfthome.htm]XFTLite[/url] package contains a wrapper around GetOpenFileName, called XGetOpenFile, which is simpler to use.
