Icetips Utilities Documentation 11/21/2010     File Select Class: SetForceDefaultpath

Previous  Top  Next

This method assigns the value of pForce to the ForceDefaultPath property.  pForce defaults to True.  If ForceDefaultPath is set to True then it will be forced as the startup folder when SelectFile or SelectFolder/SelectDir is called, unless the DefaultPath property is empty.  This gives you the option to force the FileDialog to open for example in the last used folder, as in the example below, where the folder is stored using the INI Manager class (ABC)

Example:

FS  ITFileSelectClass

Code

FS.AddFileMask('INI File','*.ini',True)

FS.AddFileMask('All Files','*.*.')

FS.SetDefaultPath(INIMgr.Fetch('UpdateGetFromINI','FS:INIFilename'))

FS.SetForceDefaultPath()         !! Force use of DefaultPath

FS.SetCaption('Select INI File') !! Set FileDialog caption

FS.SelectFile(?Loc:IniFileName)  !! Use control on window

!!Or

FS.SelectFile(Loc:IniFileName)   !! Use variable

INIMgr.Update('UpdateGetFromINI','FS:INIFilename',FS.GetFilePart(Loc:IniFileName,FNS_FullPath))
