The file control com.sun.star.awt.UnoControlFileControl has all the properties of a text field control, with the additional feature of a built-in command button. When the button is clicked, the file dialog shows up. The directory that the file dialog initially displays is set by the Text property.
The directory must be given as a system path, file URLs do not work at the moment. In Basic you can use the runtime function ConvertToURL()
to convert system paths to URLs.
oFileControl = oDialog.Model.FileControl1 oFileControl.Text = "D:\Programme\Office60"
Filters for the file dialog can not be set or appended for the file control. An alternative way is to use a text field and a command button instead of a file control and assign a macro to the button which instantiates the file dialog com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FilePicker at runtime. An example is provided below.
Sub OpenFileDialog() Dim oFilePicker As Object, oSimpleFileAccess As Object Dim oSettings As Object, oPathSettings As Object Dim oTextField As Object, oTextFieldModel As Object Dim sFileURL As String Dim sFiles As Variant REM file dialog oFilePicker = CreateUnoService( "com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FilePicker" ) REM set filter oFilePicker.AppendFilter( "All files (*.*)", "*.*" ) oFilePicker.AppendFilter( "StarOffice 6.0 Text Text Document", "*.sxw" ) oFilePicker.AppendFilter( "StarOffice 6.0 Spreadsheet", "*.sxc" ) oFilePicker.SetCurrentFilter( "All files (*.*)" ) REM if no file URL is set, get path settings from configuration oTextFieldModel = oDialog.Model.TextField1 sFileURL = ConvertToURL( oTextFieldModel.Text ) If sFileURL = "" Then oSettings = CreateUnoService( "com.sun.star.frame.Settings" ) oPathSettings = oSettings.getByName( "PathSettings" ) sFileURL = oPathSettings.getPropertyValue( "Work" ) End If REM set display directory oSimpleFileAccess = CreateUnoService( "com.sun.star.ucb.SimpleFileAccess" ) If oSimpleFileAccess.exists( sFileURL ) And oSimpleFileAccess.isFolder( sFileURL ) Then oFilePicker.setDisplayDirectory( sFileURL ) End If REM execute file dialog If oFilePicker.execute() Then sFiles = oFilePicker.getFiles() sFileURL = sFiles(0) If oSimpleFileAccess.exists( sFileURL ) Then REM set file path in text field oTextField = oDialog.GetControl("TextField1") oTextField.SetText( ConvertFromURL( sFileURL ) ) End If End If End Sub
