vb.net upgrade: In VB6 I could used the CancelError property to trap for the cancel
button being pressed.

In vb.net I can't see this proprty any more.

I just use the

Try
FileOpen(iFileNum, OpenFileDialog1.FileName, OpenMode.Input)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
Exit Sub
End Try

routine, where it gets caught with an exception and gives a long error
message.

Can I trap for the error button??

Hi Tym

You need to show the dialog using the ShowDialog() method. This returns a
DialogResult. The DialogResult has a variety of different values - the one
you want is DialogResult.Cancel. (DialogResult.OK is the positive action
when you click on the Open button)

Code like:

' Assumes we have a FileOpenDialog called FileOpenDialog1
If Me.FileOpenDialog1.ShowDialog = DialogResult.Cancel Then
MessageBox.Show("You pressed cancel...")
End If
