Hello All

By use of an Activex component in a ProIV function, I'm using the MS Common Dialog to allow selection of a file on the host/network. It works fine but, when control returns to my function, I'm struggling to establish whether the action was cancelled by the Cancel button on the MS Common Dialog. Does anyone have any ideas how to detect a click of Cancel in this way?

Environment: Proiv kernel 6.1.51.0-PR, VIP 6.1.38.0 on a Unix platform.

The FileName returned is empty when user cancels - if they click ok it has path\filename

Thanks for your response Chris. I have already tried that approach but it won't work for me in this particular case as I need to default FileName to a specific value before presenting the Common Dialog box therefore FileName will never be empty even if the user cancels.

Oh well - you might get better access to the control if you write a VB wrapper for it...
