Is this possible to change with a hook?

[Justin Shafer]

I didn't think so, but I thought I would ask...

Instead of an Open File Dialog sending a list of files as a string.. I want to replace it with my own. The method is rather large, it is the Import File Dialog in the Images Module.

OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
openFileDialog.Multiselect = true;

if (EhrAmendmentCur != null)
{
openFileDialog.Multiselect = false;
}

if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.OK)
{
return;
}

string[] fileNames = openFileDialog.FileNames;

if (fileNames.Length < 1)
{
return;
}

If the part you pasted is the only part of the method that you don't want to run I would recommend checking out the "goto" option:

If a developer wishes to only replace part of the code in a method, a goto may be used.

Otherwise the easiest kind of hook for taking over entire methods would be the first hook type:

The first type of hook is called HookMethod. It is placed at the very top of a method and is designed to let the plug-in designer completely replace the method with their own code. This is the code that is placed at the top of the method:
