Directory Path

kvb

Hi all

I have a Setup Form. At this form there is a field named "Export path".
This is a path where i will export some information by using dataports.
The name of file will be generated automatically. And the question is:
Is it possible to make some kind of "Directory choose dialog"?

I know about 412 CODEUNIT, but it`s not quite the right solution i think

Do you know about this download, called "Browse for folder": http://www.mibuso.com/dlinfo.asp?FileID=169

it works, but...

Automation...

we are using this silly way:

we use COMDLG32 for locating some file from required directory and then we delete file name, so we get only path for directory.
this is not elegant solution, but when you not like Automation, it can be sufficient.

var:
ocxCOMDLG32, OCX, Microsoft Common Dialog Control, version 6.0

OnAssistEdit of control:

WITH ocxCOMDLG32 DO BEGIN
  DialogTitle := 'title of your dialog';
  Filter := 'file type1 (*.OUT)|*.out|file type2 (*.txt)|*.txt|all files (*.*)|*.*';
  ShowOpen;
  IF FileName <> '' THEN
    txtfilename := FileName;
END;

then delete file name and you will get path :-)

as I said, very silly.

I needed this stuff in these days and implemented well... but... every time the Shell Window is show up in the background and not in focus! :roll:
This focused to Windows system but not to Navision and the user cannot see that lookup Shell window!
I use this:

SelectedFolder := WindowsShell.BrowseForFolder(0,'Title',1,'');

Where the 0 meanings the Hwnd but how can I set, the Navision is the parent window? :-s
Thanks for the help!

You could create a form based on the table File.
To only show directories place a filter on the field "Is a File" with the value 'FALSE'.
You do need to do some programming around it all to make it work, but as you wanted it saves you loading a dll.
