(2) In an OpenDialog, if you switch to list view you can make

would like users to be able to use a dialog to add several items to a
list at once, just as they can by dragging a number of items at once
from a folder window. Is there a way to do this?
I'm still stumped by this and if anyone can help me with it I'd really
appreciate it! The documentation does say that an OpenDialog returns a
FolderItem, which to me means a single FolderItem and is the result
I've been getting. However, an OpenDialog does allow users to select
more than one item. To me, this is potentially confusing behaviour and
I'm hoping that someone knows of a solution (other than not using an
Open Dialog ;) ) that will allow the multiple selection to be
returned.
Check out these two treads in the mail NUG Archives. Your answers are
there.

The MBS plug-in seems to be the easiest unless you're into Carbon and
Win32 Declares.
