Topic: File Open dialog box (1 of 3), Read 62 times Conf: VEDIT Suggestions From: Fritz Heberlein Date: Sunday, February 24, 2002 04:13 PM In V-Dos there was an easy way to re-use a file name in the file-open dialog box by simply pressing the up arrow - a very useful feature for developing macros, which implies many cycles of editing and testing macro code (at least if one's programming abilities are less than optimal:) ). In V-Win this feature seems to be defunct, apparently as a consequence of adhering to the windows standard very closely. Is there any way to restore it? Fritz

If the focus is in the filename-input-box (default), there will be a history of opened files. This feature only works within a single Vedit session and isn't saved when closing Vedit. Christian

Please note that this "history" only works in the {FILE, Open} dialog box, it does not in other file selection dialog boxes. It is not a normal part of Windows "file open" dialog boxes and it was very difficult and tedious (for Tom Burt) to implement "history". I noticed under Win2000 that the File-open dialog box in Notepad has history. Therefore, it must now be a built-in option. However the history does not seem to respond to Cursor up/down and therefore is not very well implemented. Ted.
