FileSelect Method

Displays a file selector and loads the selected file from disk and displays it in the OrdoWebView2 browser

Syntax

Ret= Object.FileSelect([MustNavigate As Boolean = Vrai], [UseDefault As Boolean = Vrai], [DialogTitle As String], [FilterWithPipes As String], [DefaultFolder As String], [FileNameDefault As String], [ExtDefault As String]) As String

The FileSelect method syntax has these parts:

Element Description
Object The object placeholder represents an OrdoWebView2 control
Ret String. The path and name of the selected file or an empty string if user select the Cancel button
MustNavigate Boolean, if TRUE, the control displays the selected file, otherwise only its path and name is returned
UseDefault Boolean, if TRUE, the file selector title and file extension filters are those predefined by the control (main internet file types). DialogTitle and FilterWithPipes are ignored
DialogTitle String, the file selector title
FilterWithPipes String, the default file selector folder

DefaultFolder

String, the default folder of the file selector.
ExtDefault String, the default extension of the file to select


Remarks     

  • By setting MustNavigate to False and UseDefault to False, the Fileselect method behaves like a simple file selector
