Common Dialog Management/File Open

halldin

Hello

I want to use a dataport/report to go through a textfile from the Navision Localisation Workbench in order to clean it from transactions existing more than once in the file(probably an error in the NLW application).

In my report/dataport I want to use two (2) dialog boxes in the request form, one for "file open" and the other for "Save as" in order to create a new file containing only the ML texts.

I have problems using two dialog boxes. I have set the first one with parent control 1 and thus using standard functionality to import (read)the first file - this work s fine.

I have problems having the second text box to work and set the filepath and filename to the file i want to create. I can open the dialog box but when i point at a location and write the file name to save, and say OK the dialog box does not pick the filepath into the request form.


Any Ideas anyone?

I guess the reason you don't get the filepath is that the standard DialogBox is used for selecting files, and not paths. Try using this one instead: http://www.mibuso.com/dlinfo.asp?FileID=169

Now that I read your question again, it seems you are selecting a path & filename. Why don't you show us some code how you call the dialog box, and retrieve the filename?

Tried OCX Microsoft Common Dialog Control, version 6.0 ?

ComDialog32.DefaultExt('scp');
ComDialog32.Filter('FTP Scriptfiles (*.scp; *.txt)|*.scp;*.txt');
ComDialog32.FileName("FTP scriptfile Get");
ComDialog32.ShowOpen();
IF ComDialog32.FileName() <> "FTP scriptfile Get" THEN BEGIN
  VALIDATE("FTP scriptfile Get",ComDialog32.FileName());
END;

Naturally .ShowSave(); will be of interest..
(No, I haven't got control of "Cancel" from user action as of yet)
