Examples

• Exec.CommandLine("file")
  • Opens a Tiny Type & Run box that allows autocompletion with file and shell folder names.
• Exec.CommandLine("file urlhistory urlrecent")
  • Opens a Tiny Type & Run box that allows autocompletion with file and shell folder names, recently used URL's, and URL's in the system's URL history.

Notes

• Only one dialog using autocomplete can be active at a time.
