Using a long filename, the FileDialog defaults to showing only the end. How to make it start at the beginning?

I want to suggest two common filename syntaxes whenever this OpenFileDialog appears.

Setting the FileName:

dlg.FileName = "True Up -> S-CUSTXXX-YYYYMM-R; Non True Up -> CUSTXXX-YYYYMM-R"

Current result:

Desired result:

Is there a way to programmatically achieve the desired result?

Solution

  • It may be possible to complete this by shifting focus to a different control. However, I solved this problem by shortening the file name.
