FileDialog.FileOk Event

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Forms

Assembly:

Source:

FileDialog.cs

Occurs when the user clicks on the Open or Save button on a file dialog box.

C#

public event System.ComponentModel.CancelEventHandler FileOk;

Event Type

CancelEventHandler

Examples

The following code example demonstrates using the FileNames property, handling the FileOk event and using the Application.DoEvents method. When the example runs, a user can select graphics files from an OpenFileDialog object. The selected files are displayed in the form. The Application.DoEvents method forces a repaint of the form for each graphics file opened. To run this example paste the following code in a form containing a PictureBox named PictureBox1, an OpenFileDialog named OpenFileDialog1, and a Button named fileButton. Call the InitializePictureBox and InitializeOpenFileDialog methods from the form's constructor or Load method. When the example is running, display the dialog box by clicking the button.

C#

private void InitializePictureBox()
{
    this.pictureBox1 = new System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox();
    this.pictureBox1.BorderStyle = 
        System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
    this.pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
    this.pictureBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(72, 112);
    this.pictureBox1.Name = "pictureBox1";
    this.pictureBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(160, 136);
    this.pictureBox1.TabIndex = 6;
    this.pictureBox1.TabStop = false;
}

private void InitializeOpenFileDialog()
{
    this.openFileDialog1 = new System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog();

    // Set the file dialog to filter for graphics files.
    this.openFileDialog1.Filter = 
        "Images (*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF)|*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF|" + 
        "All files (*.*)|*.*";

    // Allow the user to select multiple images.
    this.openFileDialog1.Multiselect = true;
    this.openFileDialog1.Title = "My Image Browser";
}

private void fileButton_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
}


// This method handles the FileOK event.  It opens each file 
// selected and loads the image from a stream into pictureBox1.
private void openFileDialog1_FileOk(object sender, 
    System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{

    this.Activate();
     string[] files = openFileDialog1.FileNames;

    // Open each file and display the image in pictureBox1.
    // Call Application.DoEvents to force a repaint after each
    // file is read.        
    foreach (string file in files )
    {
        System.IO.FileInfo fileInfo = new System.IO.FileInfo(file);
        System.IO.FileStream fileStream = fileInfo.OpenRead();
        pictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fileStream);
        Application.DoEvents();
        fileStream.Close();

        // Call Sleep so the picture is briefly displayed, 
        //which will create a slide-show effect.
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);
    }
    pictureBox1.Image = null;
}
