Listbox and default viewer

[AndrewX]

Hi all, I' need a little help regarding my project.
On a page I've an input box, a winbutton and finally a listbox.

Here the codes:

WinButton

ListBox.DeleteItem ("Listbox1", -1); -- clear the content of the search result list
ListBox.SetUpdate ("Listbox1", false);

sFile_name = Input.GetText ("Input1"); -- gets the name of the file (use * to find all files with the defined extension)

StatusDlg.Show(); -- shows the status of the search function

tFind_file = File.Find ("C:\\Archive",  "*pdf", true, false);


if tFind_file then -- if at least one file is found...
	for k, found_file in pairs(tFind_file) do -- enumerates the files found
		tSplit_found_path = String.SplitPath (found_file);
		if sFile_name == "*" then
			ListBox.AddItem ("Listbox1", tSplit_found_path.Filename..tSplit_found_path.Extension, found_file); -- add each file to the list
		else
			if String.Find (tSplit_found_path.Filename, sFile_name, 1, false) ~= -1 then
				ListBox.AddItem ("Listbox1", tSplit_found_path.Filename..tSplit_found_path.Extension, found_file); -- add each file to the list
			end
		end	
	end
	
end
StatusDlg.Hide(); -- hide the status dialog
if ListBox.GetCount ("Listbox1") == 0 then
	Dialog.Message ("Attention", "No files here.", MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
end	

ListBox.SetUpdate ("Listbox1", true);

Page.SetFocus ("Input1");

ListBox
On Double-Click

if ListBox.GetSelected (this) ~= nil then
	Shell.Execute (ListBox.GetItemData (this, List_Select[1]), "open");
Window.Minimize(Application.GetWndHandle());
end

On Select

List_Select = ListBox.GetSelected (this);
if ListBox.GetSelected (this) ~= nil then
end

So, by using this, all my PDF are obviously opened with the installed viewer, in my case Adobe Reader as usual.

Now I need to open my PDF with a portable version of Sumatra PDF Reader, included in the Docs folder (SumatraPDF.exe)

Please help me, it's a simple project but very useful for my needs.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I my dear friend, a similar code will be useful for me too.
I searched in my .apz archive and on the forum without success.
I really hope in some help from a master user here.
On August it's very difficult someone help us in little time.
Anyway as you I hope in some suggestion.
Thank you forum.

hi

you can look at this example to do that :

--
File.Run("AutoPlay\\Docs\\SumatraPDF.exe", "AutoPlay\\Docs\\ChannelList2.pdf", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, true);

Your suggestion is good for a simple file launch.
I need something to use with the listbox.
If you have a solution ...thank you anyway

Hi titogyme, is there a way to open a pdf directly from its location, without copy it into Docs folder?
I use an editor to open PDF so if I edit the document, I edit the copy in Docs folder and not the original file.
Thank you for your time.

learn AMS's basic functions you don't have to use the AMS folder this was a example, they was really nice to make the demo them for you, but everything you asked would be clear if you sat down with a cup of coffee and read the manual a few times, if you want to select the path at run time maybe look at Dialog Browse File function.

titogyme, nice you made the demo for them but remember to run the clear option, you have included Memory plugin what clear is not needed in this example lol

Yes you can do that with out Coping Files to Docs Folder
But you will face a problem to pass the parameter "parameter path and file name to be opened"

For example Look at this path :

C:\Users\titogym\Desktop\ww\docu\Word2007RTFSpec9.pdf


you will see an folder named "ww" Without any break it's mean "ww" ~= "w w"

So there will be a bug in the parameter if the path contains a separator between the letters of the names of folders and any folder with This description


Note : " C:\Users\titogym\Desktop\ww\docu\Word2007RTFSpec9. pdf " is an argument or an parameter Opend by SumatraPDF.exe Program .

the args It must not contain spaces between characters .


Do you understand what I mean ?

No problem, my files are in Autoplay\\Docs\\Archive and all pdf are named without spaces.
So, if you've time you can edit or adding an option like this.
Thanks obviously.
