    OpenDialog which extension gets used

    with OpenDialog
    suppose you set
    ..Filter = "Image (*.ico,*.jpg) |*.ico;*.jpg"

    ...AddExtension = True

    Which extension gets tacked on to the name?



    Second question

    Looking around I've seen all these extensions. Some, like ICON might have
    been simply a typo by someone wanting to type ICO

    Are they all used in a way that makes the matching correct

    JPG;JPEG

    TIF;TIFF

    ICO;ICON



    Thanks

      You have a default extension property which you can specify.

      OpenFileDialog1 .DefaultExt = "*.jpg"

          To make it brief I'm afraid I over simplified the string.
          Here is a little more of it.
          Joint Photographic(*. jpg;*.jpeg)|Tag Image(*.tiff'*. tif)"



          do you know if these are all valid extensions to Windows

          JPG;JPEG

          TIF;TIFF

          ICO;ICON



          Thanks

              Yes, you'll have to specify pairs of display strings and extensions. Check
              out the documentation on the 'Filter' property.
