    Add a filter which files are shown. When the user selects one filter in the decider dialog, only files of this type are displayed.
    Syntax
    public void AddFilter( 
       string strDescription,
       string strExtension
    )
    public:
    void AddFilter( 
       String^ strDescription,
       String^ strExtension
    ) 

    Parameters

    strDescription
    The description visible to the user, p.e. "Text files *.txt"
    strExtension
    The filter, p.e. "*.txt"
    Remarks
    When the strDescription is empty, the system fills it automatically. This is the description used in EPLAN when the same filter is registered there or a automatically formed one from the extensions. The filter also influence the path the file select dialog is opened first. Some of the registered extensions have a standard path. When the standard path is the same for all extensions, this standard path is used. It is possible to set a custom StandardPath with the function CustomDefaultPath.
