"Browse for folder"- Dialog

useratcad

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to open a DialogBox where the user can select a directory. Is there a function for that or is there a way to print out a FolderTree in a Box?

 

Thanks in advance

Tim 

  • Hi Tim,

     I think that you want the ddsFileBrowseCB() function, it is hidden well in the documentation, but here is some brief information (from cdsFinder):

    ddsFileBrowseCB( r_form s_targetName [ t_filter ] [ s_mode ] [ t_caption ] )
         => t | nil

    Creates a file browser dialog for specifying file names through browsing.

    There is an example in SourceLink Solution 11457794

    Regards,

    Lawrence.

  • One more thing:

    somehow if I press in that Dialog the [OK]-Button it is not closing there is only a message "hiFormDone(_ddsFB_CelldocuInputForm)". I have to press [Cancel] in order to exit. Is there a workaround for that?

     

    2nd) And I was wondering if there is a function or way, that if I resize the for, that all the elements will resize themselves, too.

    So if I resize the window from 500 to a width of 400 the StringField should be 380 instead of 480 as well.
