1. getOpenFileName

filename = getOpenFileName( Window1, -- parent window "e:\\euphoria\\stocks\\", -- no default name { "Text Files", "*.TXT", -- text files "Data Files","*.DAT", "All Files", "*.*" } ) -- everything else
I'm using the above code, When I open the Open Window it shows All Files. If I select "Text Files" in the "Files of type" Combo Box then only the .TXT files show in the window. If I select "Data Files" in the "Files of type" Combo Box then only the .DAT files show in the window.
How can I make it so only .DAT files show at the get go when I first open the Open Window window?

The win32lib documentation for getOpenFileNameEx should have a fourth parameter extra.
Use this paramater to specify the initial filter index.
filename = getOpenFileNameEx( Window1, -- parent window "e:\\euphoria\\stocks\\", -- no default name { "Text Files", "*.TXT", -- text files "Data Files","*.DAT", "All Files", "*.*" }, -- everything else { {ofnFilterIndex,2} } )

And I *think* the Win32Lib demo, "Generic" has an example of how to use that parameter.

Yes Authur,
Your code does put 'Data Files' in the 'Files of type' ComboBox. But he Window still shows all files.
I want it to show only Data Files on open.

Sorry about that, I should have checked, I thought I remembered it to be there, but I see now that it was the "openMultiple" that I was remembering.
