Open file dialog and select a file using WPF controls and C#
I have a TextBox
named textbox1
and a Button
named button1
.
When I click on button1
I want to browse my files to search only for image files (type jpg, png, bmp...).
And when I select an image file and click Ok in the file dialog I want the file directory to be written in the textbox1.text
like this:
textbox1.Text = "C:\myfolder\myimage.jpg"
Something like that should be what you need
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// Create OpenFileDialog
Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog dlg = new Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog();
// Set filter for file extension and default file extension
dlg.DefaultExt = ".png";
dlg.Filter = "JPEG Files (*.jpeg)|*.jpeg|PNG Files (*.png)|*.png|JPG Files (*.jpg)|*.jpg|GIF Files (*.gif)|*.gif";
// Display OpenFileDialog by calling ShowDialog method
Nullable<bool> result = dlg.ShowDialog();
// Get the selected file name and display in a TextBox
if (result == true)
{
// Open document
string filename = dlg.FileName;
textBox1.Text = filename;
}
}
var ofd = new Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog() {Filter = "JPEG Files (*.jpeg)|*.jpeg|PNG Files (*.png)|*.png|JPG Files (*.jpg)|*.jpg|GIF Files (*.gif)|*.gif"};
var result = ofd.ShowDialog();
if (result == false) return;
textBox1.Text = ofd.FileName;
