Hi Roger,
dc_Popdir() is not working correct.

Code: Select all
dc_Popdir() is not working correct.
What do you want it to do?

The source code for DC_PopDir() hasn't been changed in 20 years.

Where can I find the DCDIRTREE source code?

What is it that you want it to do?
It's purpose is only to allow you to choose a directory.
If you want more than that, then maybe you should look at DC_PopFile().

I think, he means the sizing problem from the second picture, the fields for drive and type are not visible ?

Yes, this is the problem.
and i often use these types of functions in my apps.
This occurrence happens in eXpress 267 and xBase 2.0.1176.
Perhaps some change has occurred in the XbpTreeView()
and probably an update to the eXpress Code is needed.
Many thanks..

I still don't understand.
It appears that Pedro took a snapshot of a different selector than DC_PopDir().
The source code for this 20-year old function does not have any drive and file type selectors.
This was one of the first functions I wrote when I got Xbase++.
DC_PopDir() is just a wrapper for a class that was a sample given to us by Alaska.
It doesn't have a drive and file type selector.

Sorry, Roger, I hate to point this out, but doesn't dc_popdir use dc_dirselector (which has a drive letter combobox) and dc_fileselector (which has an extensions combobox).
And as the original screenshot shows (and in our application where it is used as a popup) the static parent of each seems to be the wrong size for the listbox and combobox to fully be visible.
