 |
|
Hi guys,
Got a TOpenDialog and am programatically setting the initial directory:
void __fastcall TfrmConfig::dlgOpenShow(TObject *Sender)
{
String strDir = getenv("DIRPATH");
if (DirectoryExists(strDir))
{
dlgOpen->InitialDir = strDir;
}
}
InitialDir gets set, but once executed the dialog does not open in the
specified directory. This is driving me nuts, any suggestions?
Cheers,
Andrew |

This has been discussed here many, many times in the past.

Have you searched the archives?

Have a look at it's Options property and ofNoChangeDir.

You are setting it in the wrong place. Setting it in the dialog's OnShow
event hs no effect. You have to set it before you call Execute(), ie:
void __fastcall TfrmConfig::btnClick(TObject *Sender)
{
String strDir = getenv("DIRPATH");
if( DirectoryExists(strDir) )
dlgOpen->InitialDir = strDir;
else
dlgOpen->InitialDir = "";
if (dlgOpen->Execute())
{
//...
}
}
