Hello all,
So, does db.databasefile.delete work? Assuming the folderitem
db.databasefile is a valid file. The file db.Databasefile is created
when the window opens. It is a REALSQLDatabase file. I figured I'd
just delete the file if the user presses the cancel button instead of
saving.
In the Action event of the Cancel button on a window of mine I tried this code:
if isNewFile then // isNewFile is a Boolean that is set when the
window opens
db.DatabaseFile.Delete
self.Close
end if
Nothing happens. The file is stil in the folder. To check myself, I
changed the code to this:
if isNewFile then
db.DatabaseFile.Name="MustDelete"
// the name of the file changes.
db.DatabaseFile.MoveFileTo(TrashFolder)
//the file is moved into the trash folder
self.Close
end if
So, my file really is there and I can use the other folderitem methods
and properties on it. But not .delete.
I tried this code in a button:
Dim f As New Folderitem
f=GetFolderItem("mytestfile.rtf") // I created this file and put
it into my app folder
f.Delete
That code works - the file is deleted.
My question is: Am I doing something wrong with the .Delete method?
Does it matter that the file is a database file? Bug?
Thanks,
