Multiple file extensions in OpenFileDialog

Question

How can I use multiple file extensions within one group using OpenFileDialog? I have Filter = \"BMP|*.bmp|GIF|*.gif|JPG|*.jpg|PNG|*.png|TIFF|*.tiff\" a

Answer 1

Try:

Filter = "BMP|*.bmp|GIF|*.gif|JPG|*.jpg;*.jpeg|PNG|*.png|TIFF|*.tif;*.tiff"

Then do another round of copy/paste of all the extensions (joined together with ; as above) for "All graphics types":

Filter = "BMP|*.bmp|GIF|*.gif|JPG|*.jpg;*.jpeg|PNG|*.png|TIFF|*.tif;*.tiff|"
       + "All Graphics Types|*.bmp;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.tif;*.tiff"

Answer 2

This is from MSDN sample:

(*.bmp, *.jpg)|*.bmp;*.jpg

So for your case

openFileDialog1.Filter = "JPG (*.jpg,*.jpeg)|*.jpg;*.jpeg|TIFF (*.tif,*.tiff)|*.tif;*.tiff"

Answer 3

Based on First answer here is the complete image selection options:

Filter = @"|All Image Files|*.BMP;*.bmp;*.JPG;*.JPEG*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.PNG;*.png;*.GIF;*.gif;*.tif;*.tiff;*.ico;*.ICO
           |PNG|*.PNG;*.png
           |JPEG|*.JPG;*.JPEG*.jpg;*.jpeg
           |Bitmap(.BMP,.bmp)|*.BMP;*.bmp                                    
           |GIF|*.GIF;*.gif
           |TIF|*.tif;*.tiff
           |ICO|*.ico;*.ICO";
