 Hi,

I am trying to write a small skill script to search a file by using browse button in a form.

I am able to create a form but How i can place this browse option. 

Can you please let  me know the solution.

 

Thanks,

latha.

    Hi Latha,

    Unfortunately the answer is no, hiCreateFileSelectorField was introduced in the IC61x releases and it is not present in the IC5141 release. So you will need the function that Andrew suggested, ddsFileBrowseCB(). Here's the brief command syntax:

    ddsFileBrowseCB( r_form s_targetName [ t_filter ] [ s_mode ] [ t_caption ] ) 

     

    The solution that Andrew pointed out also seems to be the only solution that involves the use of this function, so use that and the documentation for reference.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
