[DefaultValue(true)]

public bool AutoUpdateFilterDescription { get; set; }

<DefaultValue(True)>

Public Property AutoUpdateFilterDescription As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	true

true , to display complete filter names (descriptions plus filter templates); false , to display filter names only.

Remarks

In the figure below, a dialog has the “Images|*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF” filter.

This property has an effect only when a filter description does not contain filter templates itself. For instance, the description part of the “Images (*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF)|*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF” filter already contains filter templates, and the AutoUpdateFilterDescription property value has no effect on the way this filter is shown at runtime.
