Dialogs - TOpenDialog

Files property does not handle files in root directory if ofMultiSelect option is set.

Description: Allowing multiple files to be selected in the TOpenDialog component via the ofMultiSelect option can cause problems if selected files are in the root directory of a drive. The files will have two backslashes following the drive letter and colon. For instance, selecting AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS from C:\ directory will cause Files[0] to return C:\\AUTOEXEC.BAT and Files[1] to return C:\\CONFIG.SYS.
Solution / workaround: Use the Pos function to search each item for double backslashes (Pos('\\', Files[x])) and use the Delete procedure to remove one of the backslashes if found.
