I have a stored procedure that calls Choosefile to allow the end user to select a file using the Windows Open dialogue box. We call the SP from windows in Arev32/Arev64.

In OI 9.4, after a file was selected using the SP, control was returned to the Arev32 window. The end user could continue interacting with the Arev window.

In OI 10.2, after a file is select using the SP, control is not returned to the Arev64 window. The end user needs to use the mouse to click anywhere outside of Arev64, and then click back to Arev64 to continue interacting with the Arev window.

Is there something that I need to do differently in OI 10.2 to get the control to return the Arev64?

OI 9.4 call

Filename = Utility("CHOOSEFILE", @window, CFOpt)

OI 10.2 call

Filename = Exec_Method("FILESYSTEM","CHOOSEFILE",@Window,CFOpt)

What happens when you do:

Filename = Utility("CHOOSEFILE", @window, CFOpt)

in OI10.2

I originally was using the Utility() call in OI 10.2. Since that was deprecated in OI 10, I tried using the new method of calling Choosefile. Both ways have the same issue.

Hi John

I looked at my code snipits in OI10.x and typically they ensure focus is set to the target control.

Here is a (rather legacy code example). This is 'CHOOSEDIR' but the 'CHOSEFILE' should act similar.

fbstruct = 'Upgrade Location'

fbstruct<2> = "UPGRADE";* Default location

Location = Utility('CHOOSEDIR',WinName,fbstruct)

If Location then

      Void = Set_Property('SYSTEM','FOCUS',WinName:'.LOCATION')

Void = Set_Property(WinName:'.LOCATION','TEXT',Location)

End	Else

    stat = Set_Property(WinName:'.STATUS_LINE','TEXT','No filename was specified.')

End    

I'm not quite sure how this should be set to work in the AREV64 context but…

Thanks, Richard.

I'll see what I can do with setting the Focus.

Richard,

Thanks for the suggestion. Setting the focus worked. I had to get the current Focus before calling the ChooseFiled.

currentfocus = Get_Property("SYSTEM","FOCUS")

Filename = Exec_Method("FILESYSTEM","CHOOSEFILE",@Window,CFOpt)

tmp = Set_Property("SYSTEM","FOCUS",currentfocus)

Great.

Glad that you have things working, else I would have been another April fool.
