Plugin bug: TOpenDialog crashes on multiselect

Post by pmk65 »

The TOpenDialog example posted by Aivars, looks like this:

Code: Select all

 var opendialog = new TOpenDialog(WeBuilder);
  opendialog.InitialDir = "d:\\Temp"; //leave empty to remember last folder
  opendialog.Title = "Select something great";
  if (opendialog.Execute) {
      alert(opendialog.FileName);
  }
  delete opendialog;
According to http://www.delphibasics.co.uk/RTL.asp?Name=topendialog, it is possible to enable multiselect so that the user can select more than one file. Then the "Files" property should hold the full path plus file name of the a multiple file selection. But instead WeBuilder crashes with an error:
Undeclared identifier: "Files".

Code: Select all

 var opendialog = new TOpenDialog(WeBuilder);
  opendialog.InitialDir = "d:\\Temp"; //leave empty to remember last folder
  opendialog.Title = "Select something great";
  opendialog.Options = ofAllowMultiSelect;
  if (opendialog.Execute) {
      files = opendialog.Files;
      alert(files.Count);
  }
  delete opendialog;

That's because FastScript only allows access to published properties but Files is not published for TOpenDialog. So, unfortunately, at this time multi-select won't be supported.

Would it be possible to add it in the next version?

I'll try to sneak it in specially for you, but we are really short on time. Maybe I'll even have to do it only after the beta...
