OpenFileDialog: You open to many files problem?

[Andi03]

Hi.

Im using OpenFileDialog to load som files into a list box but I have one little problem. The problem is that when I open, I think ~200 files, using multiselect I get the error "You open to many files, open less files" or something like that. Is there a way to go around that? Or do I have to make a custom OpenFileDialog?

Do you need to select that many files at once? Are they not organised into folders etc?

You may be better of displaying the list of files in another control (ListView or Checked ListBox) for example. This will allow selecting files to be a bit easier - if people are using ctrl+click to select files 200+ individual selections could get tedious and error prone.
