GetFile

[serge_girard]

Hello, It's me finally back again...

I need to upload hunderds of small files and I used GETFILE to select them.

If <lMultiSelect> option is used, a character array containing selected filenames is returned (maximum number of selected files returned is 63).
Is there anyway to change this max number or anyone has a work-around?

Thanks,

Serge

Hi Serge,

...anyone has a work-around?

you may use HB_DirScan (with filter) to load files in an array.
Then load the array in a grid.
Implement a 'select' function in the grid (e.g. by double-clicking on each file you want selected).
Then perform the action(s) you want to do on the files.

Erik

Thank you, Erik for this work-around. I started allready with the same idea as solution.

Esgici, thank for the nice words, as usually !

Hi Serge,

please find some code example attached. (check line 121 on what to scan for - ".prg" in this example).
By double-clicking on a file, you can select/unselect it.

The only thing you have to do is add the action you want to perform on each file.

Regards,
Erik

If you look in c_dialogs.c,
declaration on line 169:

Code: Select all

TCHAR cFullName[64][1024];

You could change the '64' to e.g. '128'. Then change also line 253:

Code: Select all

while(  (lstrlen(cFileName)!=0) && ( iNumSelected <= 63 ) );

to '128-1=127' in this case.
Then rebuild the code, of course...
Beware: modifying the source code will void your warranty

Thanks Erik,


I allreayd adapted your previous exemple and this works fine! And maybe better because a grid can hold nearly-unlimited items.

Bedankt !
