FileOpenDialog Open Multiple Files

[Anonymous]

I am interested in allowing the user to select multiple files as input and getting the file paths of the select files. For example, if I have a folder with 3 different .rvt files, I would like the user to be able to control select two of those and getting the file path of both of those files.

Is this possible?

Currently, I am using the FileOpenDialog() Class which only allows for one file at a time. Is there an alternative that will allow for multiple file selection?

Thank you!

Search the Internet before asking a question, please.

 E.g., search for 'FileOpenDialog multiple':

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=FileOpenDialog+multiple&ia=qa

The first entry I see leads to:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1311578/opening-multiple-files-openfiledialog-c

Opening multiple files OpenFileDialog, C#

You must set the OpenFileDialog.Multiselect Property value to true, and then access the OpenFileDialog.FileNames property.

Cheers,

Jeremy,

I was just searching for the wrong thing. I thought the Revit API FileOpenDialog() class had a multiselect, but I needed to use the System.Windows.Forms version OpenFileDialog()

Thank you!
