One more Parameter in Getfile()

Hi,
I think it would be very useful to set an extra parameter in the function getfile() for the file(s) view in the predefined folder? i.e. 1,2,3,4,5,6 where 1=Details, 2=List, 3=Icons, 4= Tiles, 5=Thumbnails, 6=Filmstrip. This way it wouldn’t be necessary to change this setting from the view menu.
It would make it a lot easier if someone (like my): would like to choose one or more images at once (if you do not know the name of the file...)

I guess
acFilter parameter of GetFile() function may meets your need ( at least a portion )

Hi,
That’s a very useful utility indeed Esgici. Thanks!
What I mean though is:
When we open a folder by using the getfile() command, in that window the listing of the files is always in “List” view so only the names of the files appear. So if you’d want to have a quick look at some images for example you have to go at the view menu and change it to “Thumbnails”. What I’m trying to find out is if there is an option that can be set to the getfile() command as a parameter which could do that and open the window in “Thumbnails” view.

As far as know, GetFile() function of HMG calls GetOpenFileName() of Windows API.
So, "List View" is normal behavior of Windows.
"View menu" and other views are features of Windows Explorer, not sub-functions.
Maybe an expert would develop a solution for your request.
Anyway you would think develop your own GetFile() function.
When done please share with us.
Happy HMG'ing

Hi Nikos !
It would be good to have something like this:
or something like this:
But you can do it by yourself, creating a windows, selecting path, showing pictures and multiselecting of files. All depends of your imagination and criativity.

Hi Nikos.
In function C_GETFILE (file C:\hmg.3.1.5\SOURCE\c_dialogs.c, line 196) change:
for:
Code: Select all
int flags = OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_EXPLORER;
and rebuild-lib.
Best regards,
Claudio.

Can't be simple as that
