Topic: A strange about function "getfiled"

[snddd2000]

here a confused
At home computer ,I run (setq csvfile (getfiled  "" "" "csv" 4))
if i directly point a file,the return is right, for example "C:\\Users\\new.csv"
if I open a folder "1" under folder "Users"  then back folder "Users" point "new.csv" .
The return will be "C:\\Users\\1\\new.csv"
Office computer, everything is Ok.
Someone know why, and solve
thanks

the file name returned should be the file selected. If you have the same file name in both folders, the function will not automatically select the one in the current folder. using your example, if you select a file "new.csv" in folder "C:\Users\1\", then change folders to "C:\Users\" If you don't select the file "new.csv" in that folder, the location will be C:\Users\1\

thanks keith
but  folder "1" is empty.

Have you tried setting flags to 8 or 12? Using 4 is to allow an arbitrary file extension.

Do you receive the same behaviour when testing with:

Code: [Select]

(getfiled "" "" "csv" 0)

[snddd2000]

Yes , receive the same behaviour when testing with 0 4 8 12 128.
I have no idea.
thanks all

This morning, I think again, what is the different between my computer at home and office.
Home's is single-click to open an item;
Office's is the standard double-click.
So I change office's computer to single-click in Folder Options.
Then run above code again.
So the return is same as at home, get a wrong full-name.
Have any solution about this?

Have any solution about this?

Change both to double-click?

 Maybe it is the only way?

Maybe an alternate method.

Thanks Cab and Xia
Yes, I like "MSComDlg.CommonDialog".
but GetInterfaceObject maybe better?
