Common dialog

Jan_Lathouwers

Hi all,

Is it possible to make sure that a file selected through a common dialog can only come from a certain directory? Is it possible to disable the possibility to browse to another directory?

Thnx!

Jan

Not if you're using the Microsoft Common Dialog OCX, as far as I know.
Don't waste your time fiddling with the cdlOFNNoChangeDir flag (as I did), as it will only restore the current directory to whatever it was before the dialog was shown, should the user browse to a different folder.

What will you use it for, selecting files for import, or do you want to export.

If you want to import, then you can build a form based on the file table (2000000022). You can set the filter and disallow the user to change the filter using filtergroups.

regards,

This works! Thnx a lot!

The form based on the File table isn't updated until I close the Navision client. I already tried currform.update and calcfields, but that doesn't seem to work. Any solutions?
