Open dialog box....

Hi Everyone,
I have designed a form in which user has to input the path where he wants to save his report.
Like c:\test.PDF
what i want to do is that when user click a button againts this field a dialog box should appear in which he can select the location, like in Notepad File > Open or File Save.
and after selecting the path and closing the box the path should be display in the text field which i have provid to my user. Is it possible to attach the default file extension automatically in the text box?
like if user have written c:\test it should be automatically converted into c:\test.PDF? Any Idea?
How is this posible in Developer 6i. I will be very thankful if someone can help me solving this problem.
Regards,
Imran

use GET_FILE_NAME - it's documented in the help - client server only

  • Open Dialog Box hiding behind other Apps

    Users frequent find that the GW Open Dialog box hides behind the

  • Illustrator cc2014 open dialog box won't work yosemite

    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 2014 with a fresh install of Yosemite and Creative Cloud, after a while, when I used the open dialog box for 4 or 5 times to open documents, that dialog box won't work anymore, I have to quit and reopen the Illustrator application, the shortcut won't work either. Is anybody got that problem before?
    When I was on Mountain Lion, I never got this problem, I presume it's related to Yosemite.

    Gelouis,
    I believe it is a bug in CC2014, appearing when you have the Illustrator open/place dialogue set to column view and sort by date or sort by kind. You may change it to view by name or list view.

    Or you may get it right by changing the sort to something else.

  • Thumbnails in "OPEN" dialog box too small to see!

    The thumbnails are  too small in the open dialog box so that I can't see the file I want to open.  Yes, you can make them bigger in finder itself...but I am always opening pictures and I just can't see them!
    Almost as frustrating as the column issue.   The name column is very very wide when I try to open a file.. so I can't sort by the other columns without dragging over the bar at the bottom of the screen.  THis is so so frustrating.  I resize but it doesn't stick to the next session.
    Apple invented the finder.  Why is it so inferior to windows explorer?

    The only solution to enlarging the icons in an application open dialog window is to use the Accessibility panel in System Preferences. Under Zoom, enable Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom.
    The first time you have an application open dialog, you press the keys: option + command + =  as many times as you want to zoom in. This will enlarge the open dialog window and its contents. When done, press option + command + 8 to restore normal window size. Subsequently, you can alternatively press option + command + 8 to zoom to the previous setting, or return to normal zoom.
    This is as good as it is going to get. The applications (not just Apple’s) only use a subset of Finder’s settings in the open dialogs, and these do not include icon enlargement settings, which as you realize, are part of the actual Finder’s settings. The application development frameworks, and not Finder, are remiss in not providing icon size adjustments in open dialog windows.
    You can provide feedback to Apple regarding OS X.

  • Preview and Open dialog box on initial start of program?

    Okay, I understand that it might be beneficial when starting Preview that an open dialog box also pops up.  However, I find it VERY annoying that it does it when I double click on a PDF and Preview goes through it's initial startup.  It NEVER did this before...am I missing some setting?
    I know it may seem like a small annoyance but, for some reason, it really bugs me.

    Thanks.  I guess I wasn't very effective with my search phrases before posting.
    It did solve the annoyance but definitely seems like a bug to me.  I will post in feedback to Apple since opening a pdf in preview and then automatically opening an open dialog box has no value.  It also shouldn't be linked to Documents and Data in icloud being checked or not.

  • 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.)

  • Regarding open dialog box

    how do we call an open dialog box when i press F4 in text field to select a file in the hard disk and the selected filename should be placed in the text field

    hi
    use the function module <b>F4_FILENAME</b>
    example code:
    DATA: REPID LIKE SY-REPID.
      CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
        EXPORTING
          PROGRAM_NAME  = REPID
          DYNPRO_NUMBER = SY-DYNNR
          FIELD_NAME    = 'P_FNAME'
        IMPORTING
          FILE_NAME     = P_FNAME
        EXCEPTIONS
          OTHERS        = 1.
    in reports, use this funct-module under <b>AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_FNAME</b>
    in case of module-pool, use this funct-module under <b>PROCESS ON VALUE REQUEST</b> event.
    thx

  • 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  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].

  • Diable "open dialog box" on right mouse click so I can use l mouse to advance to next slide and r mouse click to "go back."  How in PP 2010 for mac????

    I do presentations in PP10.  I am new to macair, and used to Windows.  HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"?  I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back.  The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box.  I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC.  How do I do it with the Mac????
    Thanks

    Hi Rod,
    As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
    Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
    If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
    Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
    I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
    Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.

  • 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.

  • Open dialog box prefs for geany and gnumeric

    I did a reinstall so that /usr/ would no longer have its own partition.   Rearranging the partitions was just going to take too long.
    I use geany and gnumeric.  File -> Open, in either program, brings up the open dialog box.  It is titled Select a file for gnumeric and Open File for geany.
    Since the reinstall, I have to click the pad and pencil icon in the top left every time to open up the line for manual entry of the location.
    I am sure it used to remember its state before the reinstall.  Does anyone know where that setting is saved or how to get that functionality back?  Thanks.

    if i understand correctly you have a note item (based on table) on every child record? when you open the dialog box: how do you put data from notes to dialog box? in the same way as you can write it back ...

  • Open dialog box issue

    When invoking the "open" command on AI or any of the CS3 app for that matter, on its window I get my 3 drives, network (wife's system) and MY OWN computer's name on the sidebar. What I mean is that Marcos' G5 appears too, when clicked it shows to the right my 3 drives and network again, what's the purpose of this? Aren't the drives on the side bar already? I would like to get rid of this repetition or bug (perhaps), my own computer on the open dialog box, am I missing a setting somewhere? anyone?
    It only happens with CS3 apps.

    Jean, I did trashed it :).
    Scott, holy macaroni, i knew it was something stupid, that did it!, never thought the open dialog box would behave the same way, trashing prefs anyways to start clean.
    Now that is out of the way, on the same open dialog box at the bottom of the sidebar I see the "media" folder and that one can not be moved by dragging, and is marked to not show on Finder prefs, not a big deal but can it be out of there? I'm just trying to simplify.
    Thanks again Scott :)

  • Open dialog box in application server.

    hai frnds,
    i am using the following FM for open dialog box in application.
      CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'
        EXPORTING
          i_location_flag = 'A'
          i_server = '?'

        EXCEPTIONS
          rfc_error = 1
          OTHERS = 2.
    the path is been copied to the input box but when i am trying to open the file selected it is not retrieving the data and also the given path is changed to upper case. i had tried to change it in start of selection. but the same is hapenning. also my client requested some of the following...
    1) the dialog should open at '//sapglobal_users'
    2) the files should be sorted in desc group by date and time of creation.
    3) the full path name should be visible in the dialog box which is not hapenning (i.e., if the path is > the visible length the invisible part is truncated. This shd not happen.)
