Tip of the Day: Setting for Plugins to Return a Safe File/Folder String
Product.......: R:BASE X.5 and R:BASE X.5 Enterprise (Version 10.5)
Build.........: 10.5.4.11118 or higher
Sections......: Commands
Keywords......: PLUGIN, LoadFileName, LoadFileNamePlus, LoadDirectoryName
Did you know that a new APPLICATION property has been introduced to
return a safe string value when using the load file/folder name Plugins?
When using the LoadDirectoryName, LoadFileName, or LoadFileNamePlus
plugins, the value of "[Esc]" is returned when an end user clicks the
Cancel button or presses the [Esc] key, and does not select a file/folder.
Although unlikely, it is possible to have a file or folder named
[Esc], which would cause issues in programming when checking what the
end user had performed.
The USE_SAFE_FILE_AND_FOLDER_EMPTY_STR parameter for the PROPERTY
command was introduced to change the return value.
PROPERTY APPLICATION USE_SAFE_FILE_AND_FOLDER_EMPTY_STR ON
When ON, the result for empty selection is <Esc>.
When OFF, the result for empty selection is [Esc].
The default is OFF.
The USE_SAFE_FILE_AND_FOLDER_EMPTY_STR application property
specifically affects the LoadFileName, LoadFileNamePlus, and
LoadDirectoryName Plugins.
PLUGIN LoadFileName vFileName +
|INITIAL_DIR C:\RBTI\ +
|TITLE 'Select file to load' +
|NO_CHANGE_DIR ON +
|ENABLE_SIZING ON
Very Best R:egards,
