Show the contents (files) of a folder

[hkalmbach]

Hello,

I have a web app where the user can look at dokuments attached to a machine. In the browse the document paths are shown and the documents can be opened in the browser (pdf's, word doc's, ...). This works fine.
Now a user has a lot of documents and does not want to attach each document to the machine, but wants to attach the folder where the documents a stored to the machine.
In the clarion windows program its no problem to have links to documents in the data base as well as a link to a folder. If the user wants to see the folder I can open an explorer window to show the content of the folder.
Is it possible to do something similar with NetTalk? That means to have the path of a folder in the database, show it to the user and when he clicks on it to show him the contents of this folder?

Thanks for every hint.

Cheers
Heinz

Hi Heinz,

I'm sure there are lots of ways.

I do it by using the clarion memory driver (you could also use a physical file).

I use the sessionid within the memory file to separate sessions.

I use the DIRECTORY command to load the session. I also use a sessionvalue to manage refreshing the memory table. So I don't have to load the memory table all the time (speed is a consideration for me).

I do all this so I can use a stock nettalk browse to manage the display.

Regards
Bill

Here is some code I use:

Attached CLW file.  I look at all customers and fetch the files if needed, you might want to use a single customer.
I will take the advice on the other post and use the session value.
