API: Select a folder to open files

Hello

 

I'm looking to create a button to select a folder. This selection allows me to open all the Step files in the folder. Otherwise, can you suggest a method to select all files with a ".stp" filter?

 

I tried this:

"Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker). Show"

Without success :(.

 

Thank you

Gautier.

Hello

 

I found a macro that opens all the steps of a folder here:

To be modified as needed.

Otherwise, see this link for a dialog box where you can select multiple files:

Ok thank you I found it thanks to your links.

On the other hand, when I load a WWTP it always asks me for the format of the WWTP. Is it possible to remove this step.

 

Attached is a screenshot.

Hello

Check in Tools/Options/System Options/Default Templates that these 3 paths (2 useful in your case) are correctly populated to existing xxxdot files.

And/or check the option just below "Always use default document templates"

It's okay, I've achieved my goal. On the other hand, for those who want to make the same type of macro as me, I advise you to add a "DoEvents".
