not sure whether this is the correct group, if not please advise which
one would be the correct one.
This is the right one.
Platform is Windows XP SP 3.
The "FolderPicker" service interface "XFolderPicker" has a method
"setDisplayDirectory()" which is supposed to do the following according
to the docs: "Sets the root directory that the FolderPicker should
display. It is not specified which root directory the FolderPicker
chooses if the specified root directory doesn't exist. "
However, this does not work at all. Tried all variations (system file
path, URL, with and without trailing slash, feeding the directory path
exactly like the service returns it).
Actually, using "setDisplayDirectory()" works, as a
"getDisplayDirectory()" thereafter will return the set directory.
However, the dialog does not pick that directory but displays the root.
It should work. Try this one any does for me (mind that lines might have
been broken in the mail):
Function MyFilePicker( cFolder, cFileName, bOpen, sTitle$)as string
' bOpen gives choise between FileOpen and FileSave
Dim oFilePickerDlg, sFilePickerArgs, oUcb
Dim sFilesPicked() as String
oFilePickerDlg = createUnoService( "com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FilePicker"
)
If bOpen then
sFilePickerArgs = Array(
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.TemplateDescription.FILEOPEN_SIMPLE )
Else
sFilePickerArgs = Array(
com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.TemplateDescription.FILESAVE_AUTOEXTENSION_PASSWORD
)
End If
With oFilePickerDlg
.setTitle(sTitle)
.Initialize ( sFilePickerArgs() )
.SetDisplayDirectory (cFolder)
.AppendFilter( "All files (*.*)", "*.*" )
.AppendFilter( "OpenDocument Text (.odt)", "*.odt" )
.SetCurrentFilter( "OpenDocument Text (.odt)" )
.SetValue(com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.ExtendedFilePickerElementIds.CHECKBOX_AUTOEXTENSION,
0, true)
.SetValue(com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.ExtendedFilePickerElementIds.CHECKBOX_PASSWORD,
0, false)
End With
oUcb = createUnoService("com.sun.star.ucb.SimpleFileAccess")
If Len( cFolder ) > 0 Then
If oUcb.Exists(cFolder) Then
oFilePickerDlg.setDisplayDirectory( ConvertToURL(
cFolder ) )
End If
End If
If Len( cFileName ) > 0 Then
oFilePickerDlg.setDefaultName( cFileName )
End If
If oFilePickerDlg.execute() > 0 then
sFilesPicked() = oFilePickerDlg.getFiles()
MyFilePicker = sFilesPicked(0)
End If
End Function
[...]
P.S.: The FilePicker works (including preselecting a directory), but for
the purpose of the application only a directory should be picked, not a
file (the directory could be empty!).
For that purpose, you could use the following:
Function PickMyFolderName (sDocPath$, sFileName$, sTitle$) as String
Dim oFolderPickerDlg
oFolderPickerDlg = createUnoService(
"com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FolderPicker" )
oFolderPickerDlg.setTitle(sTitle)
If Len(sDocPath) > 0 Then oFolderPickerDlg.SetDisplayDirectory
(ConvertToURL(sDocPath))
If oFolderPickerDlg.execute() > 0 Then
PickMyFolderName = oFolderPickerDlg.getDirectory
End If
End Function
