Cannot find anything about it.

Use INPUT>

From the Input Help section:

The Input box now also has a file browse button, making it useful for accepting filenames from the user. The file browse button can be hidden by setting INPUT_BROWSE to 0 (Let>INPUT_BROWSE=0). Set INPUT_BROWSE to 2 to display a folder browse dialog for locating folders instead of files.

Edited: Oops!. Sorry, I missed the reference to Dialog. But JRL caught it for you. Thanks.

Or, if you want to use a dialog, look up FileBrowse under Dialog in Help.

Here is an example:

Code: Select all

Dialog>Dialog1
   Caption=Dialog1
   Width=445
   Height=155
   Top=216
   Left=48
   Button=OK,24,80,75,25,3
   Button=Browse,320,80,75,25,0
   Edit=msEdit1,24,24,377,
   FileBrowse=Browse,msEdit1,Text Files|*.txt|All Files|*.*,open
EndDialog>Dialog1

Show>dialog1
Label>ActionLoop
GetDialogAction>dialog1,r1

If>r1=2,exit
If>r1=3,Process
Wait>0.01

Goto>ActionLoop

SRT>Process
//Do stuff
MessageModal>Doing Stuff with %dialog1.msedit1%
ResetDialogAction>dialog1
END>Process

Label>exit
