ChooseFileFolder - Interim Version 11 Mar 21

[Melba23]

Deye,

Glad you like it.

 

when expanding a root while is checked then all children are also checked

doing it the other way, collapsing and unchecking doesn't clear what was checked under that root when was expanded

The logic works like this:

 

- When you expand a branch, all the children are automatically set to the same checked state as the expanded item. Collapsing a branch has no effect on the currently set checked state of the children.

- Checking and clearing a parent has no effect on the checked state of the children UNLESS you have the Ctrl key pressed in which case all children will be set to the state of the parent.

I think that is a good compromise - you may well want to select the parent and only some of the children so I do not want to make it a fully automatic selection as in the GUITreeViewEx UDF.

I will today look into how to return just the deepest levels - and see if I can manage to make it an option.

Deye,

And here you have the latest Beta code - with a couple of examples to show it working in both _Choose & _Embed modes:

<See new Beta code below>

 

Let me know what you think.

with "+ 512" the returns seems to work just fine except for the "2" switch to show folders only.

 

just for an idea: can there be added something for it to accept an $array that includes a list of paths

and have some paths prechecked..

 

well done so far  

 

thanks again!

Deye,

Found the problem - try this amended version:

<snip>

After much thought I have removed the "if parent checked then set children checked on expansion" functionality - it became very difficult to implement in the _CFF_Embed function and I would like to keep the two as closely aligned as possible.

The "pre-checking" you asked for might be bit difficult as the folder tree itself does not exist until expanded for the first time so initially there is nothing much to check. I will have a think about how it might be done, but I fear it might fall into the "TFD" bracket.

Melba23,

 

thanks plenty for the new additions in this UDF corresponding to my requests

I'm very satisfied with how it runs now

 

now I can continue what I was trying to get done.

Deye,

Glad you like the changes.

The "prechecking" functionality was not too hard to do after all - here is a new Beta for you to test:

<snip>

And here is an example script to show how it might be used:

#include "ChooseFileFolder_Mod_PreCheck.au3"

; Register handlers
_CFF_RegMsg()

; Create the list - folders can be ended with a backslash or not as the UDF will add one if required
Local $aPreCheck_List[3] = ["M:\Program\", "M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\ChooseFileFolder\Test.au3", "N:\Digital Pictures\London Oct 2013"]
;                            Folder\        File                                                Folder

; Pass the list to the UDF
_CFF_SetPreCheck($aPreCheck_List)

; Run the dialog
Local $sRet = _CFF_Choose("Checkboxes", 300, 500, -1, -1, "", Default, 0 + 16, -1)

; See the return
ConsoleWrite($sRet & @CRLF)

You need to use the new function to pass the required paths to the UDF, which checks them to make sure that they are valid. Then as the branches are expanded, any matching paths are checked. If the tree has not been sufficiently expanded to actually create the items, they are automatically added to the returned list - if you prechecked them then you presumably want them returned!

M23

Edit: Only _CFF_Choose will precheck at the moment - I will look at _CFF_Embed this evening.

Melba23,

excellent stuff 

 

there is on more thing!

can all the prechecks be loaded with dummy checks to all parent levels

simply to help the walk through as an indication that there are files checked deeper inside a root

it will work well with the "+ 512" switch. 

 

TIA

[Melba23]

Deye,

 

can all the prechecks be loaded with dummy checks to all parent levels

Some people are never satisfied!

I will see how complicated it gets to incorporate that - at the moment you can always do it manually.

I had some files that didn't make it through. present in $aPreCheck_List array

for instance:

New folder (3)
New folder (4)

yet in the return they seem to be present

Edited January 27, 2015 by Deye

[Melba23]

Deye,

Give me some information to work with. Are those files or (as their name suggests) folders? What is their full path?

M23

P.S. And the prechecked parents functionality looks promising.

[Deye]

M23,

a file path : "C:New folder (2)"  "C:boot(1)"

 

P.S. And the prechecked parents functionality looks promising.

 

try and give them some shaded color if you can, or just some bkground color

Deye,

When I add those folders to my M: drive I get them prechecked and returned:

#include "ChooseFileFolder_Mod_PreCheck.au3"

; Register handlers
_CFF_RegMsg()

; Create the list - folders can be ended with a backslash or not as the UDF will add one if required
Local $aPreCheck_List[2] = ["M:\boot(1)", "M:\New folder (2)"]

; Pass the list to the UDF
_CFF_SetPreCheck($aPreCheck_List)

Local $sRet = _CFF_Choose("Checkboxes", 300, 500, -1, -1, "", Default, 0 + 16 + 512, -1)

ConsoleWrite($sRet & @CRLF)

What exactly does not happen for you?

And no chance for the colour.

I've tested again on other drives

folders with "folder(?)"  don't get prechecked though in the return they are still there

I even used ctrl to deselect everything 

still had them returned

so its just a display issue I'm getting here with folders named this way.

Deye,

I see what you mean - looking into it now. >

the problem for me, was just with those few folders with that naming "folder(?)" not getting prechecked , not for you as you stated above.

found no problems with files with that same naming!

other files and folders upon deselection where not in the return which is the expected behavior

Deye,

I have found the problem - now to fix it. But that will be for tomorrow.

[Melba23]

Deye,

Try this version - it should fix the problem:

M23,

 

didn't have time to test yesterday as I was out for the day..

got back earlier today..

 

seems to be working great now.

thanks for the fixes and all new features and implementations

 

Deye

[Melba23]

Deye,

My pleasure.

I will release a new version sometime this weekend once I have worked out how to describe to new users all the new functionalities I have added for you.

M23

[Deye]

M23,

 

before you make this release

I have found one more issue

 

using for instance:

Local $aPreCheck_List[3] = ["C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0","C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip","C:\Program Files (x86)\Google"]

this adds a precheck to "C:Program Files" 

causing a miss precheck for one of the needed above in "C:Program Files (x86)" path and  break "+ 512"
