Tip of the Day: Automatically Capture File Information for Dropped Files
Product.......: R:BASE Plugin Power Pack X.5 (Version 10.5)
Build.........: 10.5.3.20304 or higher
Sections......: LoadFileNamePlusPlus Plugin
Keywords......: Preselect, File Properties, Drag and Drop, Files
Did you know that the LoadFileNamePlusPlus Plugin in the Plugin
Power Pack includes a new parameter to automatically evaluate
a passed file list?
The added PRESELECT_FILES parameter expects a comma delimited
string value containing a list of files. When used, the series
of variable are automatically generated for the file list, and
the "Open" file dialog window is not displayed.
The generated variables include the number of files, along with
the file name, path, file name with path, extension, date/time,
and size, for each of the files in the passed file list.
The PRESELECT_FILES parameter is ideal when using drag and drop
functionality in forms, where a list of files are dropped into
a control (edit/memo). The DROPPED_FILES property will capture
the list of files that were dropped into the control.
An "On Drag Drop" EEP may look like the below:
-- On Drag Drop EEP
GETPROPERTY DropTarget DROPPED_FILES vDroppedFiles
PLUGINS LoadFileNamePlusPlus vResult +
|PRESELECT_FILES &vDroppedFiles
-- process return variable list here...
RECALC
RETURN
The end result easily returns detailed file information for the
files dragged and dropped into the form control!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
