Hi,

Is there a way to have the user be able to browse the files on their computer?

I basically want the user to be able to choose a file from their drive to use in an app. It's easy enough to have them type a path in, but I'd much rather they could browse for the file.

Thanks for your help

Hi. The CommonDialog object can do that. It allows file open & save dialogs, as well as directory and color dialogs.

Here's a .cap (v0.99.84) with a simple demonstration of an open dialog:

Note that the filter does not need to be set, and if you want to start in a particular directory, you can set that in the 'Set initial file' action, and optionally include a default file name in that string as well.

Awesome.

Thanks for that.

I'll have a play with that this evening.
