How can I make a file dialog that would list two types of files, such as HTML and HTM at the same time?
Thanks!
P.S.: Right now I have: | Code: | | %%b1 = @filedlg("HTML File (*.html)|*.html|All Files (*.*)|*.*",Browse for file...) |

Something like this will work:
| Code: |
dialog create,Dummy
%%file = @filedlg("HTML files|*.htm;*.html",Open file)

Thanks...
I can't believe how obvious that was! 
I had been trying to do that with commas, but it never occurred to me to use semicolons... |

Yup, I think it's undocumented in the VDS helpfile. I think it's just a standard feature of Delphi.

To create file masks in program code, assign a value to the Filter property that consists of a description and a mask separated by a vertical bar (pipe) character. Do not include spaces around the vertical bar. For example,
OpenDialog1.Filter := 'Text files (*.txt)|*.TXT';
Multiple filters should be separated by vertical bars. For example,
OpenDialog1.Filter := 'Text files (*.txt)|*.TXT|Pascal files (*.pas)|*.PAS';
To include multiple masks in a single filter, separate the masks with semicolons. This works both in the Object Inspector and in program code. For example,
OpenDialog1.Filter := 'Pascal files|*.PAS;*.DPK;*.DPR';
If no value is assigned to Filter, the dialog displays all file types.

Nice one Tommy, 
Does that mean there could be other Delphi features
that are "carried over" into VDS?
Maybe we need a Delphi detective.... 8O
Cheers, Mac

I guess you can learn and know a lot more about VDS if you know Delphi...I wonder just how many undocumented features there are that come from Delphi...
