Property Value

Type: array<System::String^>^

An array of type String, containing the file names of all selected files in the dialog box.

Each file name includes both the file path and the extension. If no files are selected, this method returns an empty array.

The following code example allows the user to select a number of images and display them in PictureBox controls on a Form. It demonstrates initializing an OpenFileDialog, setting the Title and Filter properties, and allowing the user to select multiple files by setting the Multiselect property to true. This code example assumes that your form already has an OpenFileDialog control named openFileDialog1, a Button named SelectFileButton, and a FlowLayoutPanel named flowLayoutPanel1.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
