This is a little script file that I've put together for use with your File open dialog setups. ------------------------ ; Thanks to Mockey for the idea on this. This will switch to network paths ; and avoid errors with MS Office apps with autocomplete in the file name field ; and will make long paths be entered in much faster. ; Released 1/4/05 by David Troesch [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; Installation: ; Put the filedialog.powerpro into your scripts folder. ; Requirements: ; MiscPlugin found in the PPlugins.zip file at http://ppro.pcrei.com or ; http://groups.yahoo.com/group/power-pro/files/Plug-ins_and_add-ons/ ; Usage: ; Setup a regular File/Open dialog using the usual method ; as shown in the powerpro help | Index | dialogs open/save | ; Sending folder names to open/save dialogs. The standard method ; for sending paths to the filedialog window is: ; *keys {to folder}c:\pathname ; Using this script file, you will replace that command with: ; .filedialog (?"c:\pathname") ; local fold = Arg(1) wait.for(activewindow("filedialog")) win.sendkeys("{to filedialog}%n") local txt = MiscPlugin.GetFocus(4) local han = MiscPlugin.GetFocus(2) win.settext(han, fold) keys {to filedialog}{enter}{enter} wait 1 win.settext (han, txt) ------------------------ David Troesch | Atlanta, GA | ICQ# 2333123 Protect your privacy rights. http://www.eff.org Funstuff: If it wasnt for C, we would be using BASI, PASAL, LIPPER and OBOL!
