How to add shortcuts to the [File] Open dialog box?

Is it possible to programatically add shortcuts to the dialog box that opens when you press the browse button attached to a file/path control? I'd like to be able to add to the list which includes, My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places.

Setting the Places bar on the Windows Common Dialog will require modifications to the registry. To change the Places bar, refer to this webpage on WindowsITPro:
WinITPro: How can I edit the default Places bar quick links in Windows XP's and Windows 2000's Open...
Then, you’ll want to look at the Write Configuration Settings File.vi (LabVIEW 7.1\examples\file\config.llb\Write Configuration Settings File.vi) for an example of how to write information to a configuration file using the configuration VIs.
Best of luck!
Hope this helps!

  • How to list Forms (*.fmb) in File -- Open dialog box by default?

    I am Using Forms 6i.
    Whenever in Forms Builder, I click File--> Open, it lists 'All Files (*.*)'. How can I configure form Builder so that it lists 'Forms (*.fmb)' by default whenever I click File--> Open.

    I'm afraid you can't. You'll just have to pull down the poplist for that mask

  • Set thumbnail view as default in the File open dialog box

    When I hit File/Open in PS, the dialog box always opens in"details" and I have to hit the select view icon and chose "thumbnails". I've looked in preferences but can't find anything to change the default to Thumbnails. Is it that you have to do this somewhere in Windows OS ?

    What versions of Photoshop and Windows are you running?
    I ask, because running Photoshop CS5 and Windows 7 x64 when I select a view - e.g., Large Icons (which yields thumbnails) it sticks.  Make sure you actually open a file after making the change.

    going from 6i to 10g is a migration. That's no easy step normally.
    client-server-functionality has gone. web-functionality is new.
    Install the new webutil-toolset from oracle and use the new file-open-dialog from the webutil.pll. That's the way you work in the new 10g-environment.
    Read in the forms-section of the OTN the migration-papers and the webutil-doc's

  • Urgent!!how to open the file download dialog box????

    Hi all,
    i'm using the browse button for the user to select the file
    and a submit button, which when cliked should open the file
    download dialog box asking for open or save.
    i searched for so many forums and websites and didn't get the
    solution yet.
    i'm using jsp.
    anyone have the jsp code for the same????
    will b more helpful if u send it to me.
    thanx in advance.

    Hi
    Use the Filedialog class.
    Let your button call a method wich contains the following Java code:
    FileDialog filedialog =
    new FileDialog( Frame1.this, "Open a File", FileDialog.LOAD );
    //witch calls this constructor: public FileDialog(Frame parent, String title, int mode)
    //use Filedialog.SAVE to save a file.
    filedialog.show();
    String filename = filedialog.getFile();//to display the name of the file
    String directoryname = filedialog.getDirectory();// to display the directory name

  • I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

    I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

    The top screenshot is the Windows Open dialog box. All File > Open... commands in all Windows programs bring it up.   Try File > Open in Notepad for example.
    It belongs to Windows not Adobe. You cannot change this because there is no such thing as an Adobe Open dialog box.
    The bottom screenshot is Windows Explorer. It is Windows' OS File Browser, not an Open dialog.  It is not called up by Photoshop or any Windows program.
    You have to click on "My Computer" or a Folder icon to get to it. You can double-click a psd, jpeg or other image file in the Explorer window so that it opens in Photoshop.
    There is Adobe Bridge and Minibridge   Alt + Ctrl + O or File > Browse in Bridge

  • File Open Dialog Box Hiding Behind - Urgent

    Hi All
    We have write code for Opening File in File Open Dialog Box. But its stays in inactive mode behind SBO. Once we press ALT +TAB only then we can see it. How to Activate it or make it visible automatically in SAP Business One.
    The Code for Opening File we have written is in C#
    <b>OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
    objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "
                        objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (.xls)|.xls";
                        if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()!= DialogResult.Cancel)
    string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
    }</b>
    Thanks in Advance
    Asutosh

    Common problem... Do the following instead.
    System.Windows.Forms.Form form = new System.Windows.Forms.Form();
    form.TopMost = true;
    OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
    objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "\";
    objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (*.xls)|*.xls";
    if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog(form)!= DialogResult.Cancel)
    string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
    That should do it

  • File open dialog box broken in all apps! ( 10.5.6/7

    Hi, I've got a very odd problem that Apple phone support seem to be unable to solve.
    Basically, every file open dialog box system wide is broken, from file->open in textedit to the browse button on websites for uploading files.
    When trying to display this finder panel, it beachballs for ten seconds then gives me a grey area where the usual finder browser usually resides and the open / cancel buttons at the bottom of the panel.
    I've repaired permissions which had no effect.
    The finder works perfectly other than it's little file open dialog which other applications use...
    Updating to 10.5.7 did nothing to fix the issue.
    Does anybody have any idea how to resolve this?
    Thanks!
    chris.

    V.K. had you create another user to eliminate the possibility that it is a preference file causing the problem. It was reported the problem remained with another user, so the problem is system wide, not with a single user's preferences.
    The Archive & Install is relatively painless. It only replaces the system and leaves everything else untouched. What is replaced is saved in a new folder it creates named Previous System, in case there is something there you might want to bring back (most often 3rd party files, but I have never needed anything from the Previous System folder).
    The only hassle with the A & I is resetting preferences. If you check the option during the A & I to retain user settings, there is usually not very much that needs resetting.

  • File Open Dialog Box

    Under my install of Vista Enterprise on an AD network, I'm am not getting the "computer" option to access local and network drives when I select "File/Open".  All I get is the redirected "home" directory for that user.  True for all Adobe applications (have the latest Creative Suite 4).  Other Windows apps using Windows file/open dialog box can get to the network.  Tech support said I should have an option to select the OS dialog box, but I do not see that on my install.

    In Edit > Preferences > File Handling, uncheck "Enable Version Cue".  This is where you will find it in CS4; earlier versions may have slight variations.  In some versions, you may also get a checkbox in the file open dialog (down at the lower left, as I recall) that lets you select OS dialog or Adobe dialog.   Also, in Bridge (again CS4), go to Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts, and uncheck Adobe Version Cue CS4.  (I have this unchecked, and even with Enable Version Cue checked in PS I don't get the Adobe dialog or the option to set it, so the setting in bridge seems to be the master.)

  • File Open Dialog Box  on Button Click

    Hi
    I am devloping some webpages using JSF and RichFaces..
    I would like to appear File open Dialog box to choose single file and multiple files and another Folder chooser dialog box to choose the folder content..
    Both the operation should be performed while choosing the Button Choose File and Choose Folder...
    I have already tried Input type = file and aphace tomohawk..
    But i all the components are coming with text box and browse button..
    I dont need that. I need to open the dialog box once i clilck my choose file r folder button and it should work browser indepent.....

    HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

  • How to add new item in more options dialog box

    Hi all,
    Can anyone tell me how to add new item in more options dialog box(site actions -> more options). I want to add new item there to the new page layout which I created but I didn't find any way to do it. can anyone assist me for this.

    Good point, in order to add a Page into that area, you will need to define a Custom Action. You can learn more about creating Custom Actions here:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh500259(v=office.14).aspx
    As an example, Microsoft uses the following Custom Action to add the "Publishing Page" to that Create Silverlight control when enabling the Publishing features:
    <CustomAction
    Id="CreatePublishingPage"
    GroupId="WebPages"
    Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.Create"
    Sequence="100"
    Title="$Resources:cmscore,Create_WebPages_PublishedPage;"
    Description="$Resources:cmscore,Create_WebPages_PublishedPage_Description;"
    ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/ltpp.png">
    <UrlAction Url="_Layouts/CreatePage.aspx" />
    </CustomAction>
