Property Value

Type: System::String^

A string that represents one or more URL filter options for the dialog box.

The Filter property is used by the EditValue method when calling the BuildUrl method, which displays the URL selection dialog box to the user at design time.

The Filter property default value indicates two URL filters for the dialog box: one for XML transform files (*.xsl) and another for all files (*.*).

To specify a custom filter string, derive a class from the XslTransformFileEditor class, and then override the Filter property to return the custom filter string.

A filter string contains one or more filter options. Each filter option contains a description of the filter, followed by the vertical bar (|) and the filter pattern. The strings for different filtering options are separated by the vertical bar.

Following is an example of a filter string that contains two filter options:

"XML Transform Files (*.xsl)|*.xsl|All Files (*.*)|*.*".

You can specify several filter patterns in a filter option by separating the filter patterns with semicolons. Following is an example of a filter string in which the first filter option specifies two filter patterns:

"Custom XML Transform Files (*.xs1; *.xs2)|*.xs1;*.xs2|All Files (*.*)|*.*".
