Detailed Description

Global MLABFileDialog object available in all script.s.

The MLABFileDialog object can be used as follows:

file1 = MLABFileDialog.getOpenFileName(ctx.localPath(), "Def/Script files (*.def *.script)", "Open file")
if not file1 == "":
  pass # ok
else:
  pass # cancel  

MLAB.log(file1)

file2 = MLABFileDialog.getSaveFileName(ctx.localPath() + "/test.def", "Def/Script files (*.def *.script)", "Save file")

MLAB.log(file2)

file3 = MLABFileDialog.getExistingDirectory(ctx.localPath(), "Select a Directory")
MLAB.log(file3)

filelist = MLABFileDialog.getOpenFileNames("Def/Script files (*.def *.script)", ctx.localPath(), "Select multiple files")
i = 0
for file in filelist:
  ctx.log(str(i) + ": " + file
  i = i + 1

Member Function Documentation

QString MLABFileDialog::getExistingDirectory ( const QString &  dir, const QString &  caption, Option  options = ShowDirsOnly, MLABWidgetControl *  parent = NULL  )

slot

Returns an existing directory, returns absolute path or empty string on cancel.

Script Example:

file1 = MLABFileDialog.getExistingDirectory(ctx.localPath(), "Select a Directory", MLABFileDialog.ShowDirsOnly)
if not file1 == "":
  pass # ok
else:
  pass # cancel

QString MLABFileDialog::getOpenFileName ( const QString &  initially, const QString &  filter, const QString &  caption, Option  options = static_cast< Option >(0), MLABWidgetControl *  parent = NULL  )

slot

Opens a file with a file dialog box, returns absolute path or empty string on cancel.

Script Example:

file1 = MLABFileDialog.getOpenFileName(ctx.localPath(), "Def/Script files (*.def *.script)", "Open file")
if not file1 == "":
  pass # ok
else:
  pass # cancel  

QStringList MLABFileDialog::getOpenFileNames ( const QString &  filter, const QString &  dir, const QString &  caption, Option  options = static_cast< Option >(0), MLABWidgetControl *  parent = NULL  )

slot

Returns multiple filenames with a file dialog box, returns a list of absolute paths.

Script Example:

filelist = MLABFileDialog.getOpenFileNames("Def/Script files (*.def *.script)", ctx.localPath(), "Select multiple files")
i = 0
for file in filelist:
  ctx.log(str(i) + ": " + file
  i = i + 1

QString MLABFileDialog::getSaveFileName ( const QString &  initially, const QString &  filter, const QString &  caption, Option  options = DontConfirmOverwrite, MLABWidgetControl *  parent = NULL  )

slot

Saves a file with a file dialog box, returns absolute path or empty string on cancel.

Script Example:

file1 = MLABFileDialog.getSaveFileName(ctx.localPath() + "/test.def", "Def/Script files (*.def *.script)", "Save file",
                                       MLABFileDialog.DontConfirmOverwrite | MLABFileDialog.DontUseSheet)
if not file1 == "":
  pass # ok
