hola, ¿que parámetros le envío al GetFileOpenName para que me salga la ventana con las opciones de amarillo?

hi, What parameters do I send to GetFileOpenName so that I get the window with the yellow options?

Solo he logrado conseguir lo siguiente

I have only managed to achieve the following

string is_filename, is_fullname
int   li_fileid

GetFileOpenName ("Open", is_fullname, is_filename, &
   "txt", "Text Files (*.txt),*.txt,INI Files " &
   + "(*.ini), *.ini,Batch Files (*.bat),*.bat", &
   "d:\temp", 32770)

 

Thanks.

Not using the GetFileOpenName PowerScript function.

However, I suggest you examine the "GetFileName" free code sample on Roland Smith's TopWizProgramming.com web site:

https://www.topwizprogramming.com/freecode_getfilename.html

It uses Windows API functions / structures. It does not provide a preview, however.

Here's what the dialog window looks like:

Myself I also use the function provided by Roland, since one that was already there before I knew that (now) it's also possible with GetFileOpenName():

You have to pass in somehow OFN_EXPLORER (=2) as part of the aFlag parameter. The value you would have to sum to any other values of the aFlag for that behaviour is:

2 to the power of (OFN_EXPLORER-1) = 2 to the power of (2 - 1) = 2 to the power of 1 = 2.

From the pb help on GetFileOpenName().

For example, passing the flag 32768 (2^15) to the GetFileSaveName function opens the old-style dialog box with the Read Only check box selected by default. Passing the flag 32770 opens the Explorer-style dialog box with the Read Only check box selected by default.

Constant name

Description

1

OFN_CREATEPROMPT

If the specified file does not exist, prompt for permission to create the file. If the user chooses to create the file, the dialog box closes; otherwise the dialog box remains open.

2

OFN_EXPLORER

Use an Explorer-style dialog box.
