File browsing skill function in IC6.

Hi Tyanata,

Is the documentation not helpful to you?  I scanned it quickly and it seemed to make sense to me, here's something I tried briefly:

procedure(myFileLookyCB(dialogPtr action)
 ;; possibly use the hiFileDialogSelection function here
) 

hiDisplayFileDialog(
  ?dialogName 'myFileLooky
  ?workingDir "/home/lawd/pc/Excel"
  ?filter "Spreadsheets (*.xls *.sxc *.csv)"
  ?callback "myFileLookyCB")

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Lawrence.

Also, what's wrong with the ddsFIleBrowseCB() function? I just tried it, and it works fine for me...

Thanks for the help! 

I thought that there is error in a function ddsFileBrowseCB(), because its usage was one of the root causes of IC5- IC6 diffence of the my script from the topic: http://www.cadence.com/community/forums/T/19220.aspx

 But after  more accurate search of the error root cause. It appeared that the error is different.

Best regards,

 Now I think, I already know what is different in IC5 -IC6 ddsFileBrowseCB command behaviour. In IC5 it behave as blocking mode, in IC6 as non blocking dialog box.

OK, but you shouldn't really ever depend on forms being blocking - they should work based on the callback and whether it is blocking or not should then not impact you. Note, I didn't check if what you say is true (it could be - the implementation is very different in IC61 since it uses the QT file browser rather than a home grown one).

Andrew.
