Harrie,

P.S. Here's a more difficult question: How do you set the starting folder for a _GetOpenFolderItem_ dialog box??


Try looking at the newer FolderItemDialog classes which consist of: OpenDialog, SaveAsDialog and SelectFolderDialog. These all have a "InitialDirectory As FolderItem" property to give a starting folder.

After someone just told me about the new SaveAsDialog class, I should have realized that there might be a new OpenDialog class as well, but I didn't. Thanks for mentioning that!

While I'm at it, let me ask one more question. Something I found very handy when programming in Visual Basic was to use lots of MsgBoxes and InputBoxes while debugging. But even though RB has a MsgBox (plus an MessageDialog class that is more powerful), it has (as far as I know) still no equivalent to an InputBox. Since RB has no InputBox and no InputDialog class from what I can tell, what do those accustomed to using an InputBox do instead when they program in REALbasic?
