Summary

Indicates the file name displayed in the edit portion of the combo edit control.

Pascal

 propertyFileName: TFileName;

Description

Set FileName to initialize the combo edit to a particular file name. Read FileName to obtain the name of the file that was selected by the user.
When the user uses the File-selection dialog to select a new file, the selected file becomes the value of the FileName property. The value of the Text property also changes to the new file when the FileName property value changes.
Property FileName does not return entered parameters, thus:

Text entered in edit box	FileName returns
'C:TempMyProgram' Param1 Param2	'C:TempMyProgram'
'C:Program FilesMyExe.exe'	'C:Program'
'C:Program FilesMyExe.exe'	'C:Program FilesMyExe.exe'
'C:Program FilesMyExe.exe' Param1	'C:Program FilesMyExe.exe'
'C:Program FilesMyExe.exe' Param1	'C:Program FilesMyExe.exe' Param1

Use AddQuotes to automatically add quotes to file names with spaces in their name.

Notes
