Title: OpenFileDialog
Post by: v6v on 2012-02-16, 06:28:36 PM

 

Code: [Select]

 private void OpenNewSeq(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
 {
   Stream myStream = null;
    OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();

    openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "c:\\" ;
    openFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*" ;
    openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2 ;
    openFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true ;
    
    openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
    //openFileDialog1.Dispose(); Commented out, it doesn't affect the results anyways.
 }

Within GameForm.cs

 I'm calling this method with an Event Handler, when my game is run, I go to File > Open, and when Open is clicked, it runs this function.

The only problem is that the window freezes. Is there somewthing I'm doing wrong?

This one had me stumped for a few minutes.  I had to run the project in the C# IDE.  And for some reason when I did that I got an error instead of a freeze that explained what needed to be done: you need to add [STAThread()] above the Main function in Project.cs.

So:
1. Open Project.cs
2. Find public static void Main()
3. Make it look like this:

Code: [Select]

   [STAThread()]
   public static void Main()
   {
      try
      {
         GameDisplayMode mode = (GameDisplayMode)System.Enum.Parse(typeof(GameDisplayMode), m_res.GetString("_DisplayMode"));
         ...

Merci, works like a charm. I can use this for the Open and SaveFile Dialogs.
