Hi Unifacers,

I've got a request to let filebox instruction select multiple files in a single usage; AFAIK this functionality is NOT available.

Is there any tips / trick or suggestion on the argument?

Regards,
Gianni

    Teeny tiny HTML widget with  a  'file'  input type button, with the multiple attribute set. Use javascript to capture the data and pass back out to the uniface component?

    Not tried it practically yet.

    You can use the tree widget with the list of files using the command $dirlist/FILE.

    If the file list is not too big, you can use the $dirlist/FILE command to read the files and the listbox widget and do to select multiple items/files.

    Multi-select is currently not supported by the Uniface filebox instruction.
    It is however possible to embed the Windows Common Dialog Control (comdlg32.ocx)
    (C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\comdlg32.OCX)
    in the Uniface OCX container and use its OpenFile dialog.

    C:\\WINDOWS\\system32>regsvr32 /u C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\comdlg32.OCX
