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,

Hi Charles,
I have a copy of the ancient, original 1991 Pickfile.Pro from RSI which is
written wholly in IDL - no calls to platform specific GUI file pickers!
It is in fact pre-windows, but I've added the necessary bits to handle
Mr Gates.
I'll email you a copy.
