Hi,

I'm using TFileComboBox but want to limit searches to *.PDF files.
This box under Elevate seems to default to *.* for the file match pattern.

I haven't looked at the source code for this control... being lazy this time.  But I figure
other people would want that search capability too.

FWIW, if someone wants to dig into it, I did this recently in an ASP.NET application, and the key was adding the "accept" to the element in the DOM.
This is what I added to get CSV and Excel files:

<input id="definition-file" type="file" name="file" accept=".xls,.xlsx, application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet,application/vnd.ms-excel, text/csv, text/plain, .csv, application/csv" />

I hope that helps someone...

Thanks, you saved me time looking it up.  I will hack it in for now, but I think it would be a nice feature for the future.

I think it's already on the list, but I printed it out anyways, just to be sure.  I'll be doing a new run through the component library after EWB 3 is out, and patching up all of these new attributes/features that were held back because of IE9 being the base reference browser for EWB.
