Interactive dialog_pickfile?
type: item
description: Dear Newsgroup, Is there a routine that has similar functionality as dialog_pickfile with interactive functionality? The application is: as the user highlights files in the dialog box, I would want the file name string sent to a handler so that I could parse the file name and display the meaning of the several fields in each of the highlighted file names. Secondarily, I may want to display some of the properties of the highlighted files, such as file size, and modification date. Any suggestions? Regards, Charles Paxson Frontier Technology Inc. Beverly, MA

It is in fact pre-windows, but I've added the necessary bits to handle Mr Gates. I'll email you a copy. Andrew Cool DSTO, Adelaide, Australia
