and also i want to allow all file formats to be attached , which format should i assign to the object in OAC2??
Please help me to sortout this.
Thanks In Advance.

The Browse Button isn't even generated by Web Dynpro for the FileUpload. This is built on the client side by the browser. In Web Dynpro we only generate the HTML <input type=file>. Also from the online help:
Due to browser restrictions that are unrelated to Web Dynpro ABAP, the previously entered data path might disappear when a FileUpload UI element is clicked. In newer versions of the browser, it is therefore impossible to enter the file name in the entry field. The field always remains empty. Neither are any possible restrictions displayed, for example, file names or file name extensions. The selection of the file name is therefore only possible in new browser versions using the Browse... button. You cannot enter the file name manually (using the keyboard or copy and paste functions) or by setting the file name from the back end (directly or using context binding).
These are security restrictions put in place to make sure that only the user is selecting the file for upload. This way you can't script and grab a file the user doesn't want you to have. You can imagine how dangerous that would be on the internet.

Event for browse button for fileupload control

I'm creating an application, where I need to check which file is choosen for the file-upload. Depending on the file upload, 2 other fields will be filled in because the filename is concerning a certain standard.
Can I do this with javascript for example without needing to post my page.
Any help would be most welcome

You can do this with javascript.
var fileName = document.getElementById('fileUploadComponentId').value;
if (fileName.substring(fileName.indexOf('.' + 1)) == 'ext') {
// the extension is "ext".
} else {
// the extension is not "ext".
}

Htmlb:fileUpload: change "browse" button to another language

I have a simple fileUpload Tag that shows a inputField and a "Browse" Button. In my Browser-Settings, the language is German, so instead of "Browse", there should be something in German.
Can I change that word somehow?

Hi Daniel,
A very good hack has been found out for the same. Look at this weblog...

I am sure you can find a way out from this and please let us know, your approach as well

Detect if time/date browse button was used

Hi,
I have a position control vi for indexing elements inside array and displaying corresponding time and date. I have large number of control signals inside my block, but I have removed all irrelevant blocks and signal for this discussion. I have replaced all unnecessary controls with constant values, so don't waste time analyzing it.
If you take a look at my vi, you will see Star/Stop control, Position control and a time stamp indicator (Waveform time) with a time/date browse button from another time stamp control. I have all desired functionalities, but I have problem when using browse button for setting up time. I can't set my time two times in a row at same value because I'm comparing "Last entered time stamp" value with current one just entered. I would not like to completely change my blocks because I'm using a lot of property nodes and variables inside my project. I'm just looking for a way to figure out if time/date browse button has been pressed so I could jump to desired point in my recorded waveform.
Solved!

I can't change Waveform Time Indicator to a Control because that would make other controls much complex (not shown in attached vi)
I have modified my block to the simplest form. I have changed some control names.
There is now only one problem - how can I detect if user has pressed time/date browse button? I'm not interested at this point which value has been entered.
I need to replace User has entered value in Jump to time/date with some kind of Boolean logic or event case.

File browser button on Adobe Interactive Form

Hello,
We have a ZCI Adobe Interactive Form with XML-Schema-Based Interface.
There is a text field on the form with a button beside it. The requirement is that when this button is clicked, a file browser window should open up. After the user selects the file on PC, the file path should get populated in the text field.
I have tried using xfa.host.importData() in the Click event of the button. But nothing seems to happen.
Note that all other methods like xfa.host.messageBox() seem to work fine.
Can anybody please help?
Thanks in advance
Sagar

Ok, I was able to solve it.
I placed a hidden text field on the form and wrote the following JavaScript on 'Click' event.
var sFile;
event.target.importDataObject(sFile);
var oFile;
oFile = event.target.getDataObject(sFile);
pa0001.Subform.FILENAME.rawValue = oFile.path;
var cFile;
cFile = event.target.getDataObjectContents(sFile);
pa0001.Subform.filecontent.rawValue = util.stringFromstreams(cFile,"utf-8");
This will upload the file content and place it in the hidden text field. I can use this hidden text field in my Web Dynpro application.
Just came to know that the Java Script we write in Adobe is known as AcroJS! Nice one.
By the way, Blag can I give points to myself for answering my own question?

Possibility of a "browse button"?

Hello everyone in the user to user adobe forums,
I was wondering is it possible to add a "browse button" to a pdf form I have created that would allow users to attach another pdf document along with the form. Both the files-the attached and the filled out pdf file-would have to send when the submit button is clicked. The submit button e-mails the document to a specified e-mail address.
Is this possible?
Thank you For your Time,
Todd C. Bey

Todd,
You can do what you want without writing a plugin. Below is some code you can place on the "click" event of a button. This will allow users to only attach PDF files when using this button. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to enforce this if the user decides to use the Acrobat attachments panel instead of your custom button, but at least it will give you what you were asking for.

Take a look at this little example. It shows you how to use JFileChoosers, how to set the text in a JTextArea, how to add accelerators to JMenuItems and how to read a file in and display it in a JTextArea. It also shows the use of a KeyListener and a KeyAdapter. Some of the real fundamentals of what you are trying to do here.

Is it possible to specify a starting FILE for the browse button dialog?

I realize I can specify a starting directory/folder PATH for the dialog window that opens when the Browse Button for a file path control is clicked.
Is there also a way to programatically preset the "File Name" field in the window that pops up? (for LV v7.1.1)

You could use a normal path control (without browse button), a browse button boolean control, openg has one. And use a value change event (in that way you can force user to use the dialog). In the event case you can use a browse function where you can set a filename.

Edit: I am not totally sure for 7.1...

Hey Samuel,
You have not defined the name of the event.
Your button tag should be defined as follows:
<b><htmlb:button id = "btn_ShowProductStructure"
text = "Show Product Structure"
design = "EMPHASIZED"
onClick = "onInputProcessing(<i>btn_ShowProductStructure</i>)"
tooltip = "Click here to open Product Structure.."
/></b>
In attribute: onClick = "onInputProcessing(btn_ShowProductStructure)" replace <b><i>btn_ShowProductStructure</i></b> by the name of the event that you want to define.
Then onInputProcessing Page write the following code:
<b>IF EVENT->NAME = 'button' AND EVENT->EVENT_TYPE ='click'.
   CASE EVENT->ID.
     WHEN <i>'btn_ShowProductStructure'</i>.
<your logic comes here>
ENDCASE.</b>
Regards,
Reema.
Pl. give points if this solution addresses your problem.

Does 6.0.2 have a problem with upload/browse buttons on sites or the save as/open file/export bookmark option or is it just me?

The box to select a file from/to the HD doesn't open. I can't save pages, images, Export/Import the Bookmarks via HTML, open file (CTRL+O), upload images via a browse button on sites, etc. Since I don't have a printer Print print (CTRL+P) defaults to xps which requires a save as dialog.
Only in Firefox.
Version 6.0.2
Windows XP SP3
Last confirmed save as via Firefox was August 22nd.

Well I don't know, I do see in your system details it says..

Maybe you driver is causing issues??? I confess I am at a loss.

How to force the File Path Control Browser button to the RT Target instead of the host machine?

I am building an application on a RT PXI system, and for one of the functions I would like the user to be able to use the browser button of the File Path Control to choose a directory on the PXI. However the browser button seems to only want open a file on the host PC, even though the application is fully deployed on the target. Note that I am controlling the PXI from a host PC.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is not a VI to do this. Are you browsing to these files from your host VI? In order to access the files on your PXI RT target, you'll need to FTP in and browse to them that way. You could programmatically do this, but there is not a simple VI to do so.

Removal of the the Browse button at the lower right corner.

Just would like to send out a request for apple to update the new iTunes 8.0 by re-adding the "Browse" button at the lower right hand corner, along side of the new genius button. I found the feature in the drop down view section on the top bar, but I'm sure users will be lost and have a hard time finding it.

You can send feedback/feature requests directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback
You can also use a keyboard command to open and close the browser. Hold down the Command and B keys together.
