Call Windows Folder and open it using C/AL in NAV2015

aliennav · 2016-01-27

Hi Guys!!
I have a simple requirement for which I am seeking just the function to use.
I have a Page--> Page has some Button--> When I press the Button a specified Windows Folder should be opened.
The path for the Windows folder is stored in some setup. Let's call it as PATH.

So I need to open Windows PATH from click of a button on a Page.

I have read several forums for SHELL command, which NAV2015 says obsolete.

All suggestions are welcome.
:-)

Hi,

CU419(File Management) is manage the file and folder. You can be use "BrowseForFolderDialog" function from CU419.

Thank you very much.
Now I also need the command to copy all the files present in some X folder whose path is known and paste it in some Y folder with known path.
The only thing restricting me to use File names is that there are 100's of files.
Please suggest!!
Thanks

there's a table called "File". Use it

(i usually don't search the code snippet...i'm too lazy, but you are lucky that i was working on this 10 mins ago

)

Files.RESET;
Files.SETRANGE(Path,'C:\');
IF Files.FINDSET THEN; //Force to look for a different path to update files table...because of a weird bug that i really dont remember
Files.SETRANGE(Path,'C:\Temp\');
Files.SETRANGE("Is a file",TRUE);
IF Files.FINDSET THEN BEGIN
REPEAT
//Rename your files
UNTIL Files.NEXT = 0;
END;
