I assume you mean File->Open External File...   ?

Comment 2 Karl-Heinz Damm 2003-10-24 11:19:45 EDT

Yes, of course. The corresponding ids are:
actionSet id="org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.openExternalFile"
action id="org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.openExternalFile"

This is a platform dialog. We have no control over it

Comment 4 Karl-Heinz Damm 2004-02-12 05:40:58 EST

The statement from Tod_Creasey@ca.ibm.com incorrect:
"This is a platform dialog. We have no control over it"

Just use the style constant   org.eclipse.swt.SWT.MULTI  with the constructor 
of class  org.eclipse.swt.widgets.FileDialog.

org.eclipse.swt.SWT.MULTI: 
Style constant for multi-selection behavior in lists and multiple line support 
on text fields (value is 1<<1).

Not on the plan for 3.0

Comment 6 Tod Creasey 2004-06-28 11:27:57 EDT

Reopening now that 3.0 has shipped

Comment 7 Billy Biggs 2004-11-24 14:22:17 EST

The action for this dialog is in org.eclipse.ui.editors which is owned by
Platform Text.  I think this is a good idea.
