'OpenFileDialog crashes for no reason?This really is my unlucky day it seems.
I'm getting an unhandled exception error on the below: I've changed it without the Me and not a chance, still crashes the app. All I want to do is get a file name hence file path of a selected file. Thanks, Adam 'OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = Application.StartupPath 'OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog(Me) I don't get the bug with FontDialog1.ShowDialog()
This leads me to think it's something that I haven't initialized the 'OpenFileDialog1 before showing it???? Can't think of anything else at the moment.

If I change it all the eye candy Windows XP GUI features get disabled hence I keep it on. Adam Show quoteHide quote "Herfried K.

I'm sure all MS dialog controls use inheritance hence the openfiledialog must be a version of say fontdialog etc. Do you think entering a critical section is something that might be viable? It's obviously a thread error that manifests itself if openfiledialog is not called from the main app's thread. Do others get the same bug, a simply new project with a 2nd thread should be enough to test it out? VS 2005 here. Adam Show quoteHide quote "Herfried K.

OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() As others are in there own threads this leads me to believe it's something to do with threading. Still don't get why the ColorDialog and FontDialog all work fine in ALL forms threaded or not but this one just refuses to listen. Very puzzling. What else can I do? Is this a bug, seems a pretty severe one, OpenDialog is a very often used control. Thanks, Adam Show quoteHide quote "Herfried K.
