Hi,

In the "File Browser" Lazarus add-on, located in the 'components' directory. It has a Filter combobox with preset items, but you can type in a file mask as well, and it should filter the FileListBox.

I have typed in:

*.xml
Xml (*.xml)|*.xml

etc, etc.

But no matter what I type in, the file list box always displays nothing. Only the preset items of the combobox works.

So what exact format does the TFileListBox.Mask accept? The LCL help doesn't mention anything either. :-(

Ok, I tried what you did too, and indeed it does work inside the Form Designer. I'll take a look at the File Browser code - there must be some or other bug there. Thanks.

Thanks Felipe. I'll update my INF help files tomorrow form the latest lazarus Trunk.

There was indeed a bug in the File Browser add-on. I fixed it at work and added some other minor improvements. I'll submit patches to mantis tomorrow morning.
