How to use a Combox box to list all folders in a Directory??

[clickfast]

Hi, I want to pass a variable to a combobox in a dialogue such that when the user clicks it reveals a drop-down menu listing all the folders in the directory.

I used GetFileList to read a directory of folders and store them into a variable.

How do I get the combobox on my dialogue box to display the list of directories stored in the carsdir variable to allow a user to select one?

Code: Select all

//BUILD LIST OF CAR DIRECTORIES
Let>GFL_TYPE=1
Change Directory>D:\LabelLauncher\Activeperlscripts\CARS\
GetFileList>*.*,carsdir

I think the solution is not so hard as you think.

First you build the list of directories with cars. The result is saved in the variabele 'carsdir'. For example, 'carsdir' has a value '\Audi;\VW;\Opel;\Ferrari'

The only thing you have to do is to replace the ';' character for '%CRLF%'. Then you can use the value of te varible in the dialog.

Here an example:

//BUILD LIST OF CAR DIRECTORIES
Let>GFL_TYPE=1
Change Directory>D:\LabelLauncher\Activeperlscripts\CARS\
GetFileList>*.*,carsdir

MessageModal>carsdir

StringReplace>carsdir,;,%CRLF%,newcarsdir

MessageModal>newcarsdir


Dialog>Dialog1
Caption=Dialog1
Width=445
Height=250
Top=309
Left=270
Button=OK,216,168,75,25,0
ComboBox=msComboBox1,160,56,145,%nieuwcardir%
EndDialog>Dialog1
