Call Pick

CallPick(FileType: Integer; const Mask: WideString; ReturnType, Int_Reserved: Integer; const Str_Reserved: WideString) Opens and dialog box window to select files. Parameters: FileType define the type of file that will be shown in the dialog box. Possible values are: const ANY_FILE = 0; const IN_FILE = 39; const IMAGE_FILE = 1; {const VGF_FILE = 40;} const VECTOR_FILE = 2; const VLX_FILE = 41; const VALUES_FILE = 3; const DSF_FILE = 42; const SIG_FILE = 4; const EXP_FILE = 44; //*.exp const SGF_FILE = 5; const IML_FILE = 45; //*.iml const TS_FILE = 7; const DVC_FILE = 46; const OLDVEC_FILE = 8; const DVL_FILE = 47; const REF_FILE = 9; //see also const SCR_FILE = 48; ref_file_plane (61) const SPF_FILE = 49; const MAP_FILE = 10; const PCF_FILE = 50; const BMP_FILE = 11; const VDC_FILE = 51; const SMP_FILE = 12; const FIL_FILE = 52; const TIF_FILE = 13; const OLDIMG_FILE = 53; const SM0_FILE = 14; {const RDC_FILE = 55;} const SM1_FILE = 15; const AVL_FILE = 56; const SM2_FILE = 16; const ADC_FILE = 57; const SMT_FILE = 17; const OLDDOC_FILE = 58; const HSG_FILE = 18; const OLDVAL_FILE = 59; //T - 3/19/99 const COR_FILE = 19; const RGF_FILE = 60; const BNA_FILE = 20; const REF_FILE_PLANE = 61; const USERDEF_FILE = 21; //ref_file_plane is the same as ref file const SYM_FILE = 22; but includes "plane" in the picklist. const VCT_FILE = 23; const PAL_FILE = 62; const MDB_FILE = 24; const RNB_FILE = 63; const IDR_FILE = 25; const IAX_FILE = 64; const WAV_FILE = 26; const COL_FILE = 65; const DOC_FILE = 27; const GRASS_FILE_ASCII = 66; //see const DLG_FILE = 28; also grass_file_binary. const TRL_FILE = 29; const DXF_FILE = 67; const SBF_FILE = 30; const DSC_FILE = 68; const CTG_FILE = 31; const BIL_FILE = 69; const TIN_FILE = 32; const ISC_FILE = 71; //in waves const RCL_FILE = 33; directory const GRASS_FILE_BINARY = 34; const RDC_FILE = 72; const VECPOINT_FILE = 35; const AVI_FILE = 73; const VECLINE_FILE = 36; const SHP_FILE = 74; //shape file const VECPOLY_FILE = 37; const DBF_FILE = 75; const MIF_FILE = 38; const VAR_FILE = 76;

const PRD_FILE = 77; const CMD_FILE = 78; const PREFIX_FILE = 79; //not really a file type... const DST_FILE = 80; const IPF_FILE = 81; const DAT_FILE = 82;

const GRD_FILE = 83; const WMF_FILE = 84; const EMF_FILE = 85; const IKB_FILE = 86; const DDF_FILE = 87; const FOUND_VLX_FILE = -942;

Mask : Is a redundant informations but it is required any way. It is the file mask, like "*.rst" or "*.vct" ReturnType : Tell what will be include in the returning string RET_TYPE_FULL = 1; //returns full filename and path RET_TYPE_FULLNOEXT = 2; //returns full filename RET_TYPE_SHORTANDEXT = 3; //returns full filename RET_TYPE_SHORTNAME = 0; //returns just filename (no ext) RET_TYPE_EXT = 4; //returns just extension Int_Reserved: Tell what will be shown in the picklist dialog box. File name with or without extension, full path, etc. SHOW_TYPE_SHORTNAME = 0; SHOW_TYPE_FULL = 1; SHOW_TYPE_FULLNOEXT = 2; SHOW_TYPE_SHORTANDEXT = 3; SHOWTYPE_EXT = 4; Str_Reserved: This one can have the value 'hide browse' or just an empty string. For the obvious function of hiding the browse button or not. Return: A string value with the user selected file name or a null value if it was canceled Example of use in Delphi: FileName := IdrAPI.CallPick(IML_FILE, '*.iml', 0, 0, '');
