Data Type

String

Remarks

Filters are displayed in the dialog box created by the ShowFileDialog method.

Each filter type consists of two strings separated by, and ending with, a pipe symbol ( | ). The first string contains a description of the filter, such as ‘Tiff files’. The second string contains the file extension, such as ‘*.tif’. Be sure not to include spaces immediately before and after the pipe symbol, or they become part of the string.  For example:

All image files|*.tif;*.bmp|TIFF files|*.tif|BMP files|*.bmp|

If no filter type is provided, the system supplies a default filter.
