This is incomplete work as I learn how to create components.  Basically,

1) I copied the TFileInputElement from WebUI.wbs and TFileComboBox from WebEdits.wbs.

2) Renamed them.

3) Added Result.setAttribute('multiple','');  to TFileInputElementExtended.CreateDOMElement: THTMLElement

4) Added InterfaceManager.RegisterElementClass( TFileInputElementExtended, HTML_TAG_INPUT ); to TFileComboBox.InitializeProperties;  (I don't know if this is right or not.  I'm still trying to figure it out)

5) Put everything in one source file.

6) I probably didn't do the IFDEF declared TFileComboBoxExtended if the compiler is not in DESIGN mode but this seems to work until I figure it out.

I haven't done a callback to show the files selected or the number of files.  And I have made a property so that Multiple may be toggled.  I did send Tim an email requesting this.

I hope it helps you.  If you have any explanations or better suggestions please let me know.  Thank you!

Best regards,
Allen

Thanks Allen - It will help me learn more too, and will pass on anything I might learn!

Your welcome and Thank you!  Tim did reply to my email and said he would add multiple file support to TFileComboBox in the next build.
