Hello group,
I am trying to select a file using the OpenFileRequest in a mac using the sample code in the manual.
Code: Select all
StandardFile$ = "" ; set initial file+path to display
; With next string we will set the search patterns ("|" as separator) for file displaying:
; 1st: "Text (*.txt)" as name, ".txt" and ".bat" as allowed extension
; 2nd: "PureBasic (*.pb)" as name, ".pb" as allowed extension
; 3rd: "All files (*.*) as name, "*.*" as allowed extension, valid for all files
Pattern$ = "Text (*.txt)|*.txt;*.bat|PureBasic (*.pb)|*.pb|All files (*.*)|*.*"
Pattern = 0 ; use the first of the three possible patterns as standard
File$ = OpenFileRequester("Please choose file to load", StandardFile$, Pattern$, Pattern)
If File$
MessageRequester("Information", "You have selected following file:" + Chr(10) + File$, 0)
Else
MessageRequester("Information", "The requester was canceled.", 0)
EndIf
I get the dialog to pop up to select a file, but the 'Open' button remains disabled. I am able to search around the directories, but I can never select a file to open.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

With Catalina no problem ...
macOS don't support patterns!

OK, so what should the call look like, and if the call is wrong, why don't I get an error in my compile?

Running the code as shown I have no problems on Mojave or High sierra.
As soon as I select a file the open button is enabled.
The pattern bit threw me as well, Mac ignores the Pattern$ and select pattern.

Ok, some new information to add into the mix. I'm using Catalina.
It's weird behaviour. When the dialog first appears, I can not select a file, and yet I can open and close folders. I can also drag and move around the dialog, still without being able to select a file.
BUT, if I grab the lower left corner and resize the dialog, I am then able to select a file. This is weird.
Regards
Andrew

That is a little weird.
When I upgraded to catalina i had some problems as well.
One thing I found was that Catalina was very slow so I down graded to mojave.
One other thing you can try is this link

I need the file requesters to be the same on both windows and mc so just rolling my own.

Just a note, your code crashes because you hard coded the location of one of the images used
Code: Select all
imgUpEnabled = LoadImage(#PB_Any,"/Users/williamatkin/Documents/PB Projects/FileRequester/arrow_up.png")

Hardcoded image removed.
May add it to data section later.
Also found you could not enter a filename to save also cleared.
Same link.
If anyone tries it on windows let me know.
