How to get file path properties in a form

sabzam

Hi Everyone,

Is there a way how to achieve the same results as a dataport but through a form? What I mean is having the option to search in the harddisk for the file to import/export?

Thanks

take a look into CU 412 "Common Dialog Management" function OpenFile().

HI,

Thanks for your immediate reply. By any chance do you know of a form or a dataport from which I can have a look at how this coduenit has been used?

garak

for example form Create Interaction (5077) or form Implementation (8600)

Look at the Request form of report 81

In the OnAssistEdit trigger of the textbox filename:

FileName := CommonDialogMgt.OpenFile(Text006,'',2,'',0);

Hi,

The following worked properly

FileName := CommonDialogMgt.OpenFile(Text006,'',2,'',0);

But now it is giving me the following error "The operating system cannot find the drive and directory specified for the file". What I need is to import a csv file and fill in a table which before was being carried out by a dataport.

Do you think you can help me on this?

is there a reason you don't want to use a dataport that already works?

Problem solved by:

Editing CDU 412:

Created text constant with extension .csv and coding added an option to the default file types

Form

Using the above given code & adding the CurrDataport.Filename := ImportFileName;

where ImportFileName is a user created variable to store the file name

Regards & Thanks to all for the help
