File browsing skill function in IC6.

tyanata

 Can anyonegive example for file browsing fuction in IC6 environment.

 

I know about ddsFileBrowseCB() function, but it does not work properly in IC6. 

I know also about hiDisplayFileDialog(), but could not find some exapmle of its usage.

 

I want to have file browsing with filter *xls .

 

Best regards,

    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.

     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).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
