Hi,
You could select more files in the file picker. It is not support to select folders.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html > <head> <title>Files property test</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function getFiles() { // Get input element myFileList = document.getElementById("myfiles"); // loop through files property, using length to get number of files chosen for (var i = 0; i < myFileList.files.length; i++) { // display them in the div document.getElementById("display").innerHTML += "<br/>" + myFileList.files[i].name ; } } </script> </head> <body> <label>Use <strong>shift</strong> or <strong>ctrl</strong> click to pick a few files: <input type="file" multiple id="myfiles" onchange="getFiles();" /></label> <div id="display"></div> </body> </html>

Oh,thanks.I know this,maybe it isn't support to select the files and folder at the same time with the file piker. I have another question:can we write the file piker control by ourselves to finish the browser folder and files function? How to do this?

But the folder piker just can "Represents a UI element that lets the user choose folders."

And the folder picker does not allow to select multiple folders on different hierarchies like the FilePicker.Thursday, November 22, 2012 2:27 PM
