File dialog controls provide basic functions that enable users to do the following:

• Display and select from a list of drives, directories, and files
  
• Enter a file name directly
  
• Filter the file names before they are displayed
  
• Display active network connections
  
• Specify .TYPE EA extended attributes
  
• Interact with a single-selection or multiple-selection file dialog
  
• Interact with a modal or modeless file dialog

These basic functions can be extended to meet the requirements of PM applications.
