[v571b2]Cannot see long default file in OpenFileRequester()?

[Dude]

Code: Select all

CreateDirectory("C:\try")
CreateDirectory("C:\try1")
CreateDirectory("C:\try2")
CreateFile(99, "C:\try\try1\try2\z12345678901234567890.txt")

No bug. How can CreateFile (and then OpenFileRequester) work if the path "C:\try\try1\try2\" doesn't exist?

[skywalk]

haha, that's a typo.
Try the full path and see.

[Dude]

When I use this code, it works fine for me:

Code: Select all

Define.s Title$       = "Read txt file"
Define.s DefFilePath$ = "C:\try\try1\try2\z12345678901234567890.txt"
Define.s Pattern$     = "Text Files (csv,txt,dat)|*.csv;*.txt;*.dat|CSV Files (*.csv)|*.csv|All Files (*.*)|*.*"
Define.i PatternPos   = 0
Define.i MultiSelect  = 0;#PB_Requester_MultiSelection
OpenFileRequester(Title$, DefFilePath$, Pattern$, PatternPos, MultiSelect)

nice, what version of pb & Windows?

[Dude]

PureBasic 5.70 LTS (x86) on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (1809).

[skywalk]

ok, I will try x86 tomorrow, but I am not on the fast track for Windows 1809. That will come out in general ~November.

It appears that the long file name in the File Name box isn't really truncated. For some strange reason, it's been scrolled to the left, leaving only the end portion visible. Moving the cursor with the left arrow key would reveal the full file name.

Windows 10 b1803, so presumably, a Windows issue.

I am not on the fast track for Windows 1809. That will come out in general ~November.

Hmm, I got 1809 last year when I used the Win10 Media Creation Tool to make a Win 10 ISO for me.

[skywalk]

Yes, early adopters have access to 1809, but there are still many bugs in that version that I cannot risk.
But, good to know that version fixes this filerequester() bug. Now, I have to hook the dialog and sendkey {HOME} to see the full file.
I thought it was some PB problem when importing the dialog api?

[Dude]

I have to hook the dialog and sendkey {HOME} to see the full file

I could swear I posted some tiny code to do that before, but can't find it with a search now.

[skywalk]

I just updated Windows 10 to latest and this is still broken in Windows 10 v1903.
