Add a "CommonDialog" control to your form and use the "ShowOpen()" method.

A small example:


CommonDialog is not perfect yet, but it should do the job for you.

Yes, you are right. The DirListBox and FileListBox still have to be added to the Jabaco framework.

DirListBox and FileListBox are already added !

FileListBox added July 6, 2010:
http://code.google.com/p/jabacoframework…ileListBox.jsrc
DirListBox added July 23, 2010:
http://code.google.com/p/jabacoframework…DirListBox.jsrc

And at
http://www.jabaco.org/board/p2575-framew…e.html#post2575
I posted a precompiled jar-file of the framework (which includes FileListBox and DirListBox).

Thanks for this hint/correction.

How do I include these new controls in my projects?
They don't appear in the list of controls within the IDE.

Is it enough to use a "new FileList()"?

The following does not work:



Is the list of controls automatically derived from the Jabaco.jar?
Is it necessary to edit some configuration files?

Have a look at the uDirBrowse-example:
http://code.google.com/p/jabacoframework…uDirBrowse.jsrc

DirListBox is a UserControl written by FrancoAA. In this case, it is better to integrate the DirListBrowse code completly as Sourcecode in the own project. Because integrating only the binary code, then in the IDE there is no widget to use.

FileListBox was implemented by me as Class file. So to use it, it is still a little tricky. Right.

Quoted

The following does not work:

	Jabaco Source
1 2 3 4 5 6	Public Sub Command1_Click() Dim d As New FileListBox() d.Parent.show() Debug.Print d.List(1) End Sub

Thats a little bit to short. I am currently on Linux, so I can't test it. But I know, that you have everything to write, what the IDE do otherwise automatical.

For your code it means:



For more examples of integrating new controls in Jabaco hava a look at the examples at
http://www.jabaco.org/board/589-examples…s-and-more.html

For example the LineExample uses a "Line-Control", which not exists in the IDE.

And the JabPic-example uses - if I remember right - a control with vertical text, which not exists as control in the IDE.

Quoted

Is the list of controls automatically derived from the Jabaco.jar?

No, that is the sadly problem. The shown controls in the IDE are completly independent of Jabaco.jar. They exists, too, when Jabaco.jar not exists.
The only controls which are not automatical there are self created UserControls. But they are only there, if the USerControls are in Sourcecode in your project.

Quoted

Is it necessary to edit some configuration files?

No.

OK. So it is actually possible to use FileListBox and DirListBox.
But faint hearted developers might still consider using CommonDialog until FileListBox and DirListBox get properly integrated in Framework and IDE.

The big value of the examples is that they demonstrate ease and flexibity to create user specific controls and integrate them in Jabaco projects.

Thanks for sharing!
