I am using PB 12.1 Classic on Window 7.
When we use datawindow's saveas(), it either displays all files type or one specific file type based on saveastype argument. We need to display only certain filetypes e.g. CSV, Text, Excel, HTML and PSReport. I couldn't find saveas() with array argument for saveastype.
Does anyone know if we can filter choices for saveastype argument?
Thanks in advance.
I wrote a PBNI extension that allows you to customize the standard dialog, including removing options you didn't want to display:

I have found the library
PDF creation
With this library it is possible to create different styles of pdf documents.
My question would be if there is a possibility to mark text (and maybe add a link to this marked text) of an existing pdf file with AngularJS?
Or is there any workaround to do this?
The question is a bit too broad as is - not sure what you mean by "mark" - do you mean highlighted in some way or actually selected?
Anyhow, firstly to get to the correct page -- you can use fragment identifiers in hyperlinks to link to a specific page in a PDF via the page parameter. e.g.
page 1
page 2
If you want to highlight a specific section of a page, via a hyperlink, you can use the highlight parameter, note you must also set the page to use the highlight parameter. e.g.
page 1 - highlight
The rectangle values are integers in a coordinate system where 0,0 represents the top left, and the values are given in the order lt, rt, top, btm.
One can also open a PDF file to a "Named Destination", that is a named section in the document via the nameddest parameter. e.g.
my section
This is great as it doesn't matter if pages are inserted, removed etc as the section will always be correctly linked.
You can read about Named Destinations here and also the various Parameters for Opening PDF Files
The thing is I have found how upload a document and after that downolad it. But I just want to download it. I want to do it using the UI designer but I dont know how to do it.
Thanks :)
I dont know which tool are you using to design your UI, anyway this is concerning functionality, not design. In that point, i need to know wich language do you want (or can) use. For example, in PHP, it's very simple, you can make something like:
(create php file) downloadpdf.php
1st: (if you want to generate pdf "on the fly":
<?php
function download($foo){
content headers (type, force-download, etc)
database select to get data or harcode it.
echo data
}
?>
and call this function with some id to select from database or something (ignore if you want to hardcode it)
Other option to download a file, if it's stored on server is making a link to this file (statically or dyamically). If you wanna take control to file downloads, check this post:
http://www.media-division.com/the-right-way-to-handle-file-downloads-in-php/
I don't mean that it can be done with UI designer tools, and it's not concerned if it's from a form or not.
Cheers!
You should create link and variable which type is javascript expression. On Variable value write
return "/bonita/portal/" + $data.context.mainDoc_ref.url;
On link URL write your variable and to text
Download: {{context.mainDoc_ref.fileName}}
Here you can find excellent example for this case
I need to write a small R script for people who never used R before that imports a file and does some things with it. I would like to minimize user input as much as possible, and since assigning the file-path is basically all the user input required I was wondering, is it possible to get a popup screen (basically your usual "open file" screen) allowing someone to select a file (import the name as string in R or something)?
The file.choose function performs this, eg:
fname <- file.choose()
source(file.choose())
You may also want to look at choose.files (for multiple files) and choose.dir (for just selecting a directory path).
The tcltk package gives you tk_choose.files.
If you want to go beyond file choosers then you can use the package to build user interfaces.
It's worth mentioning rChoiceDialogs::rchoose.files. I'm not completely sold yet, but they advertise it as being completely cross platform and fixing the annoying problem common to choose.files and tk_choose.files of popping up behind other windows. See their vignette here.
Is there a plugin(for example joomla plugin) or program which converts most known file type(.chm, .doc, .pdf etc..) to html. After conversion I want to search any item in that text.
PS: I know that there are some programs pdftodoc, doctohtml.. But I need a whole program or portal which converts all generic file types to html and in that portal there must be a search properties.
Thanks.
How to put a File path control in VBA front panel? I want the user to be able to select the browse button and select the file path rather than putting up dialog boxes all over the place. I need the user to select three or more file paths.
After re-re-reading your Q, it seams you want to steer away from dialog boxes!Oh well, I was going to say
I could post the hack about using MSDIAG on VBA, that explains
how you can patch your registry to
enable its use under VBA,
without having other MS-VB products
installed... but I rather have you
google that one... you can certainly
understand why.
But you don't want Dialog Boxes... you want controls and buttons: Use listboxes!
To populate your listbox, use the Dir command (using method additem of the listbox).
Two phases for achieving that:
first get the Directories (and prefix a "->" or whatever prior to adding it on the listbox, so that the user understands this is not a file);
then get filenames (you can filter by extension with the arguments of Dir, just as you would in DOS).
Finally, under OnClick and OnDoubleClick of the listbox, you must interpret the listbox default property (Item), check for "->" and use ChDir to change directory and repopulate, or you'll have your file selected.
The write up is sooooooo much more complicated than the code... trust me.
Do you mean VBA for Microsoft Office or just general VBA?
In Office, Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).
Otherwise, look at the Win32 API function SHBrowseForFolder (in shell32.dll). You can import it for use into VBA using the Declare Function keywords.
There is not direct VBA function for that. You can decide to combine a form (Access form, or a generic microsoft form) with 2 controls: (1) text box (2) browse button (which will finally use the fileDialog command or a windows API).
Perhaps the browse for folder API from the Microsoft MVPs site would suit:
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0002.htm
It uses SHBrowseForFolder mentioned by fwzgekg, and does not return a file dialog, it returns a browsable list of folders.
Is this what you want?
FilePath = Application.GetOpenFilename
