Description

The class TFileTypeItems represents a collection of file types for a dialog. A file type includes both a name describing the type of file and a mask typically describing the file's extension. For instance, a name might be “PDF files” and the filter “*.pdf”.

The property TCustomFileDialog.FileTypes is an instance of TFileTypeItems containing a list of file types, each of which is an instance of TFileTypeItem

To add file types to a dialog, get the TFileTypeItems instance from TCustomFileDialog.FileTypes and use the TFileTypeItems.Add method as in this sample:

Copy Code

with FileOpenDialog1.FileTypes.Add do
begin
  DisplayName := ‘All Files’;
  FileMask := ‘*.*’;
end;
