browse for files?

[Waitman Gobble]

I need a way to open a file dialog to select files. So user can select 'c:\filea.txt' and 'c:\fileb.txt', etc. then run the script which operates on these files.

Perhaps this is simply a ('fake'?) upload form? 

Getting ready to get into it, I scanned for 'browse' and 'upload' in the documentation and didn't snag any results so I thought i'd ask here in case someone has experience using ZZEE PhpExe in a similar application.

I presume it's possible to access any file from ZZEE PhpExe, which the user has permission to access.

Hi Waitman,

As far as I understand, you need to use a Javascript dialog
external.FileOpenSaveDialog:

I tried this function (from the documentation) but I get this error: OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT not defined. Is there a way to solve this? I really want multiple select!

I forgot to mention the function that I use:

<script type="text/javascript">
function openMultiFiles()
{
    var dialog = external.FileOpenSaveDialog();
    dialog.flags = OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT | OFN_EXPLORER | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST;
    dialog.extensionFilter = 'XLS files|*.xls|All files|*.*||';
    dialog.defaultExtension = 'xls';
    dialog.title = "Open multiple files";
    dialog.initialDir = "C:\\Documents and Settings";
    if (dialog.open()) {
        // Initialize array "files" to receive those file names
        var files = [];
        if ( dialog.splitMultiSelect(files) ) {
            // User has selected multiple files:
            alert("Multiple files are selected:\n" + files.join("\n") + "\nIn this directory:\n" + dialog.returnFullPath);
        } else {
            // User has selected just one file:
            alert("A single file is selected:\n" + dialog.returnFullPath);
        }
    } else {
        // User has cancelled the dialog
    }
}
</script>

Hi Martin,

You first need to define this constant. You can do it by including
this code (see section "8.5.2. Constants for file and folder dialogs
and ShellExecute" of the help file):

One more question: 

Is it also posiible to do add multiple extensions to one item in dialog.extensionFilter, something like this?

dialog.extensionFilter = 'All image files|(*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg;*.png)||';

[ZZEE Groups]

Yes. Please look in the Windows API documentation how to do this.

[Miike]

This is definitely possible. I used this some time ago with a video player to limit the file types to MOV, AVI and MP4.
