Is there a way or getproperty to capture the name
of the selected file??
Dan,
In your specific case, why not use the power of
LoadFileName.RBL PLUGIN to capture the value in
a variable?
That way you have total control and you can use
the File List Box Your Way!
Here's how:
Syntax: PLUGINS LoadFileName.RBL VarName|<options>
VarName The variable name to return text results.
Options: FULLPATH (ON/OFF)
TITLE <value>
FILTER <value>
INITIAL_DIR <value>
MULTISELECT (ON/OFF)
SHOW_HIDDEN (ON/OFF)
NO_LONG_NAMES (ON/OFF)
NO_NETWORK_BUTTON (ON/OFF)
HIDE_READ_ONLY (ON/OFF)
NO_DEREFERENCE_LINKS (ON/OFF)
DONT_ADD_TO_RECENT (ON/OFF)
ENABLE_SIZING (ON/OFF)
OLD_STYLE (ON/OFF)
NO_VALIDATE (ON/OFF)
Notes: Each parameter must be separated by pipe "|" symbol.
A value of '[Esc]' will be returned if clicked on [Cancel]
button or Close Window [x] option of file-selection dialog.
