  • How to invoke 'File Open' dialog box in Forms (under unix)

    Hi all,
    On the Unix platform (motif), how do I get the File Open Dialog
    Box by using Forms45.
    Thanks and regards,
    Srinivasa.

    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

  • 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

    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

    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].

  • 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.

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

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

  • Save As / File Open dialog boxes too large to use on laptop

    I have a Macbook Air and am using one of the new Apple LED Cinema Displays, although this problem was also present when I was using my older Apple Studio Display.
    The problem is that some of the system dialog boxes, notably File Open and Save As are huge when I am just using my Macbook with no external screen. They are so big i cant see the lower right drag handle and make them smaller and cant access buttons at the bottom like "New Folder".
    I think this is because I resized the dialog box when I last had my large external monitor connected and now that it is not connected (I'm at home on holiday not at work) I cant find a way to make them reset to their normal size.
    Does anyone know anything that would help? I've had a good search online and also in these forums and havent found anything - but apologies if I've missed an existing open thread.
    Thanks,
    Glenn.

    This did not work for me - and in my case it was the "Export" Save As sheet in Keynote. There is a real solution for this problem. Firstly all user 'preferences' and these are things that include not only preferences set in the application's preferences window but also window position, size, recent items etc. are stored in the preferences .plist file for an application (stored in the users account Library folder) . If an application starts to behave strangely, crashes on start etc. deleting this file while the application is NOT running can often fix a problem. So if a window is in an unusual location or partially off-screen then trashing the file often will fix the problem (BTW - if you are unsure how to find the file activate the Finder and select the "GO" menu -> "Go to Folder" and type ~/Library/Preferences - make sure you are not in the System's preferences folder - deleting these items is typically bad...). Preference files for an application are typically named com.companyname.programname.plist. So for Keynote the plist is com.apple.keynote.plist. Preferences are recreated when the application is launched. Often though this is a bit extreme. If you double click a plist file the "Property List Editor" application will start (at least if you have the developers tools installed - all free and on the Leopard DVD - with a free Apple Developer ID you can also run the most up to date version pre-snow leopard). In the plist editor all of the various options available in the program are listed - ones from the preference panel and other application information. In the case of Keynote (possibly other apps - I haven't checked) the NSNavPanelExpandedSizeForSaveMode key stores the size of the Save/Save As sheet. I downsized from a 17" MBP to a 15" MBP and the string size for this was 682 wide by 843 tall in pixels - my screen is only 900 px and once you consider the space needed for the application menu bar and tool bar the dialog buttons were 'just' barely visible - tauntingly so. I dropped the height to 743, saved the plist and reopened Keynote (remember to edit these while the application is not running - and always save a copy first before editing the file). This worked for me perfectly and unlike other suggestions here provides precision control. Now having said that 1) these files are XML and can be edited using a text editor but the plist editor is much prettier; 2) typically the keys are named using their appropriate Coca names for the property - but each developer can and does write their own code often deviating from Coca - hmm MS, Adobe come to mind - so remember that its good to read through the plist and Google to make sure that you are editing the correct information; 3) plists are automatically recreated if you really screw-up and need to delete - unfortunately in doing so Word will forget that no-one actually likes "when editing automatically select the whole word" so you will need to redo all of those kinds of preference tweaks.

  • Custom file open dialog box

    Dear Friends!
    I need a custom file open/select dialog box (i.e a LabVIEW VI) that I can customize to mimic the looks of my project color scheme etc. Does one exist somewhere? If someone has already made one could you kindly share it with me? I'll be so much grateful to you.The one below is the one that windows provide, I need it in the VI form (so that I can customize it, change its colors etc) and use this in my application.

    Here is a very simple example that could be a starting point.

    Use GET_FILE_NAME built in
    ** Built-in: GET_FILE_NAME
    ** Example: Can get an image of type TIFF.
    DECLARE
    filename VARCHAR2(256)
    BEGIN
    filename := GET_FILE_NAME(File_Filter=> 'TIFF Files (*.tif)|*.tif|');

  • File/Open Dialog Box / Setting MIME type

    In my application, I am calling a web service that returns text that I need to download into an EDI application. I am simply looking to have an open/file dialog box open when the text is returned. I was using the following code in a PL/SQL process:
    begin
    -- Set the MIME type
    owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
    -- Set the name of the file
    htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="EDIOuput.edi"');
    -- Close the HTTP Header
    owa_util.http_header_close;
    end;
    The problem is the HTML code that comes along with the text that is returned. Is there a way to simple call the procedure on a page that only containes the raw data?
    Thank you.

    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.

  • 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.
