Open file dialog and word documents
|
  
|
|

I am trying to use the Open File Dialog to get the file path to a word document. I get an "Invalid file format error".
I am not trying to load the file, I simply want the file path. I am using leadtools version 14.5
Here is a sample.
Sub FileDialog
Call DialogKernal.InitDlg(0)
DialogKernal.EnableMethodErrors = False
oFileDlg.Filter = "ALL|*.*"
oFileDlg.EnableShowPreview = True
oFileDlg.UIFlags = 64
oFileDlg.FileDlgFlags = 512
oFileDlg.DialogTitle = "Open A File"
oFileDlg.FilterIndex = 0
oFileDlg.InitialDir = "C:\"
oFileDlg.Bitmap = 0
Call oFileDlg.ShowOpenDlg (0)
if oFileDlg.DialogStatus = 100 Then
file.value = oFileDlg.FileName
end if
Call DialogKernal.FreeDlg()
End Sub
What can I do to make this work. It worked in version 13.5; but now does not.

The problem could be coming from the fact that we don't support reading .DOC files. If an attempt is made to read the file, an error code is going to be kicked back for the reason previously stated. Set the EnableShowPreview to false so that the file isn't attempted to be read.
What does the magic number 100 stand for with respect to the Dialog Status?
If this doesn't fix the issue, I'll need a small sample project that highlights the issue to test with. You can either post to this forum (do not preview the post as it will lose the attachment), or you can also email the project to support@leadtools.com & mention this posting. I need to see a little bit more of the code to get a better idea of what is happening.

I have attached webpage that calls the file dialog.
The "magic number" 100 means dialog status ok. It is documented in the lead tools documentation.
There is not much more code needed to invoke this dialog. This a very simple task. This did work in version 13.5 and now does not in version 14.5

The reason that it is not working is because the file dialog is assuming that the file will be a bitmap. You can change this assumption by setting the UIFlags to "OPEN_LOADANY". The documentation on flags can be found in the COM object help file under ILEADRasterDlgFile -> Method -> ShowOpenDlg method (ILEADRasterDlgFile)
