allowMultiSelect

Type: Boolean

Default Value: False

The allowMultiSelect property of the CMDFileOpen class specifies whether the File Name list box of the common File Open dialog allows multiple selections.

The user can select more than one file at run time, by pressing the Shift key and using the arrow keys to select the required files or by pressing the Ctrl key and clicking files to selectively add them to the list.

The fileName property is returned as a string containing a reference to the names of all selected files, with the file names in the string delimited by spaces and preceded by the path name. (See the getMultiSelectCount, getMultiSelectDirectory, and getMultiSelectFileTitle methods, which enable you to access the fileName property string when file names contain embedded spaces.)
