The **FileMask **property is a bitmap that indicates the type of file action the Windows file dialog performs (select, multi-select, save directory, lock directory, suppress errors).

**Implementation:**

The EditFileClass (TakeEvent method) uses the FileMask property as the //flag //parameter to the FILEDIALOG procedure. See //FILEDIALOG //in the //Language Reference// for more information.
