Common Dialog Object extension filters

[Bipolar_Games]

I just noticed something odd with the Common Dialog object. If you tell it to Add Filter "Image Files" for "*.jpg|*.gif|*.bmp" like it explains in the help file, it does not work, but if you use semicolons instead of the pipe character, it works fine (Add Filter "Image Files" for "*.jpg;*.gif;*.bmp")

Is this just something weird my computer is doing, or does the help file list incorrect information for the Common Dialog object?

This is how it's always been, the PIPE separates the list string from the actual filetype. It's like this across VB and other languages.

Usage:
Supported Image Formats (*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg)|*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg

Edit: oh you're referring to the 'common dialog object' ? I couldn't find a help file for that so I'm unsure. I never use that particular object, always the FILE object.

Yeah I tried using the File Object, but I couldn't get more than one extension to work in a filter... my method with Common Dialog works now, so I'm not going to mess with it
