Problem with Common Dialog Control

[goddess_spanky]

I am having a problem using the Filter property of the common dialog control. When I try to add a filter, i get the following compile error "Invalid use of property"
Is there any reason for this? does the filter property have to be set in the Form_Load event?
This is what I have:

private Sub cmdOpenFile_Click()
on error resume next
CommonDialog1.Filter "FoxPro Programs (*.prg)|*.prg"
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
me.txtFileName = CommonDialog1.FileName
me.lstPrgFiles.AddItem (CommonDialog1.FileName)
End Sub




Thanks!

The problem I believe is not in Filter but in the line
me.lstPrgFiles.AddItem (CommonDialog1.FileName)

if you use CommonDialog1.FileName
then you will get the message - invalid use of property

try the following

r = CommonDialog1.FileName

me.lstPrgFiles.AddItem r

I tried your suggestion, but I still get the same error on the filter property.
Is there anything else I can try?

Maybe it is just a type error. I found you missed '='.

CommonDialog1.Filter = "FoxPro Programs (*.prg)|*.prg"
