Description

Represents the file masks (filters) of the dialog.

The file-selection dialog includes a drop-down list of file types on the left of the 'File Name:' edit box. When the user picks a file type from the list, only files of the selected type are displayed in the dialog. You can select only one filter at a time.

In order for Filter to work properly, the assigned string must be formatted as follows:

'<first displayed name>|<first file extension>|<second displayed name>|<second file extension>|...|<n-th displayed name>|<n-th file extension>'

For example, the next code sample will add filters for text and executable files:

  OpenDialog1.Filter:='Applications (*.exe)|*.EXE|Text files (*.txt)|*.TXT';
