Open Method

Description

Asynchronously opens the file specified by a String value.

Syntax
object.Open FileName

ParameterDescription
FileName Name of the file to open. FileName can refer to an ASF file on a local hard disk drive, on an HTTP server, or on a NetShow server.

Remarks

This method performs the same function as setting the FileName property, however, the Open method works asynchronously, allowing the calling application to continue performing tasks while the file is being opened. The Cancel method can be used to abort the Open method.
