Hi,

I would like to tell an OpenDialogBox in which directory it must be
opened. For this, I use InitialDir which works fine the first time but
then if I change the InitalDir value with another path, it does not take
it into account. Is there any way to overcome this ?

Many thanks in advance.

Christophe

Do You mean TOpenDialog ?

This might help:

TOpenDialog *OpenDialog = new TOpenDialog(NULL);
OpenDialog->InitialDir = "ThePath";
if(OpenDialog->Execute())
{
	// do stuff
}
delete OpenDialog;

This way You have a new one every time.

Kind regards
Asger

You need to clear the FileName property before calling Execute() again.
