Re: Problem in Dialog

Eduardo,

   You mention 2 functions (or commands ?), SetupOpenDialog and DealWithFile, which I do not know and which are declared as well unknown by the current HELP of XOJO.

I think you're talking about different things.

James is talking about Getfolderitem, which allows you to define a folderitem from a path.

OpenDialog (and FolderItemDialog, for a customizable version) is defines into, and opens, its own modal window.

Without seeing a bit of your code it's impossible to find what you may be missing

  dim o as opendialog
  dim f,r as folderitem
  o = new opendialog
  o.prompttext = "Select a file to open"
  SetupOpenDialog(o)
  r = o.showmodal
  if r <> nil then
    f = o.result
    MsgBox "Selected file is "+f.name
  end

(with "DealWithFile" being a function to deal with the file :D )

Hello, james
   GetFolderItem will not allow me to choose a file inside a directory as a Dialog will instead.

Hello, Daniel -

That has never been how you access the file system. Try GetFolderItem() or one of its relatives.

   I create a Dialog by OpenDialog, then define a starting Directory, then trigger ShowModal(). I get an empty window, transparent and movable which does not show the Directory I defined.
  Any clue ? Thanks in advance.
