How to implement a browse button in such a way that when user brows it can only pick the .cdl or .gds file extension..I have tried this way.

button_tech_data = hiCreateButton(
?name 'button_tech_data
?buttonText "Browse"
?callback "ddsFileBrowseCB(hiGetCurrentForm() 'tech_files \"\" '.cdlfileOnly)" )

while running in ciw window its showing error that .cdlfile is error

    I've no idea why you've added '.cdlfileOnly - that has no special meaning and is an invalid value for the fourth argument to ddsFileBrowseCB. The filter argument is similar to that for hiCreateFileSeparatorField (although it must start with a *), with the ability to have multiple filters which are separated by a double semi-colon. So this does what you want, I think:

    ?callback "ddsFileBrowseCB(hiGetCurrentForm() 'tech_files \"*.cdl;;*.gds\")"

    Thanks Andrew i got the error.

    while running in ciw am getting this warning info:-

    WARNING* (reader): string at line 1 was not terminated on EOF, '"' added
    at line 2 of string "...orm() 'tech_files "*.tvf
    "
    *WARNING* (reader): a '(' at line 1 was still unclosed on EOF, ')' added
    at line 2 of string "...rm() 'tech_files "*.tvf
    ""

    Well, clearly you've made a typo, and given that you've not posted the code that actually produces that error, I'm afraid my psychic powers don't enable me to determine what you've mistyped.

    I might hazard a guess though that you've forgotten to put a backslash before an embedded quotation mark within the callback string.
