Getfolder?

Anonymous · ‎10-19-1999

Is there a getfiled type of funciton which will allow a user to select a
folder? Maybe something which brings up a dialog similar to the left
side of the Windows Explorer program.

Thanks,
Jeff

What release of AutoCAD?

If it's A2K, you can use (acet-ui-pickdir), if you can put
up with the lack of a default.

Jeff,

In the DOSLIB function library (www.mcneel.com), there is the trusty (dos_getdir)
function which allows you to specify a default start point.

More recent versions of 'acetutil.arx' provide this signature:

* (acet-ui-pickdir [ [ []]]) Displays a directory selection dialog. <MESSAGE> will be displayed in the space above the directory tree control. <START-DIR> gives the initial directory to be selected. <TITLE> will appear as the dialog title. Returns a string containing the name of the selected directory, or NIL if the dialog was canceled. I can forward the latest version of 'acetutil.arx' (1.35; check '(acet-util-ver)') to anyone who would like an updated copy. It's a 37K .ZIP file. -- Frank Whaley Autodesk, Inc. few@autodesk.com http://www.autodesk.com/expresstools Express Tools - Your wish is our (command ...)

Why don't you place it inside a download-area ??

I second that motion. Unlike other recommendations this solution does not require
the presense of purchased add-ons to run.

Jeff,

What's wrong with these people?! 🙂

getfiled bit 4 (value 16) says:
16 (bit 4) If this bit is set, or if the default argument ends with a path
delimiter, the argument is interpreted as a path name only. The getfiled
function assumes that there is no default file name. It displays the path in
the Look in: line and leaves the File name box blank.

Would that work?

But don't you have to select a file, not a folder to exit getfiled?

I don't see DOS_GETDIR in DOSLIB14.ARX for R14 (ver 4.0), but it is
available for AK2 in DOSLIB2K.ARX (ver 4.3)

Is there a version of DOSLIB for R14 that has the DOS_GETDIR function. I
wrote my own function a while ago for R14 to get a subdirectory location
when I didn't see anything in DOSLIB to do it.

Yes, a new DOSLIB14.ARX, actually up to version 4.4a I think. Check
http://www.mcneel.com and if you don't find it let me know and I'll email it
to you.

There's nothing wrong with these people, they are striving for perfection and
don't settle for kludge.
