hi all,
I have a large multi-line text box. I need to load the contents of a file into the text box. I'd like to have a browse-to button, that you click, and it will show the file-common dialog window about browsing to a text file.

Does anyone have any examples for something like that? Can someone point me in the right direction?

thanks,
dave

Dave,

Try something like this:

private FileStream OpenFile()
{
// Display an OpenFileDialog and show the read-only files...

OpenFileDialog dlgOpenFile = new OpenFileDialog();
dlgOpenFile.ShowReadOnly = true;

if(dlgOpenFile.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{

// If ReadOnlyChecked is true, use OpenFile method to
// open the file with read-only access.

if(dlgOpenFile.ReadOnlyChecked == true)
{
return (FileStream)dlgOpenFile.OpenFile();

}

// Otherwise, open the file with read-write access...

else
{
string path = dlgOpenFile.FileName;
return new FileStream(path, System.IO.FileMode.Open,
System.IO.FileAccess.ReadWrite);
}

}

return null;

}

Jay

If you use a rich text box it has built in ability to load a file into =
itself. Then you just need to make an OpenFileDialog and pass the =
filename that that retrieves into the rich text box.

Otherwise, just load up a file object based on the path returned from =
the OpenFileDialog and dump that into your textbox.

I can shoot you some sample code for this if you need it.

Not sure about the browse to part though.
