File Selection Dialog BoxFilename fields in dialogs boxes have a Navigate icon that can help you find the required file and place its name in that field.
![]()
When you left-click the Navigate Icon, Apex opens another dialog box called the file-selection dialog box.
This dialog box will show the name of the source dialog box that you accessed it from. For example, if you clicked on the Navigator Icon for the Filename field in the Open dialog box, the file selection dialog box would show the name Open-Filename.
When you select a file or directory using the file-selection dialog box and click the OK button or the Apply button, the name of the file or directory you have selected is copied automatically to the Filename field of the source dialog box.
File Selection Dialog Fields:
Directory Field
The Directory field shows the complete path of the current directory. Input the path to your desired directory in this field. Use the icons to the right of the Directory field to aid in selecting the desired path. After the Directory field has been changed, you must press the Filter button to display the contents of the new directory.
Filter Check Boxes
The Filter field allows you to limit the selection of objects displayed in the Files field. A wildcard (*) is the default in the field. Input any limitations you wish to narrow the selection of objects. For example *.doc will limit the objects in the Files field to those files which end in the .doc extension.
Check boxes are provided to choose which files are displayed in the Files list according to their CM status. If NONE of the following check boxes is set, NO filtering by CM status occurs. Otherwise, only those objects that have one of the selected CM states will be included in the Files list.
- In
Includes controlled objects that are currently checked-in.
- Out
Includes controlled objects that are currently checked-out.
- Uncontolled
Includes objects that are not under CM control.
- Deleted
Includes controlled objects that have been deleted.
- Out-Of-Date
Includes controlled objects that are not the latest version.
In addition, hidden files are displayed ONLY if the Hidden check check box is set:
- Hidden
Displays directories and files beginning with "." (excepting the ".." directory which is always displayed). By default, hidden files and directories are not displayed.
After any Filter options are changed, the Filter button at the bottom of the dialog must be pressed to apply those options to the display.
Directories List Field
The Directories list field assists you in navigating to other directories. Double-clicking on a directory name will change the Directory field to that directory and change the Files list field to display the objects found in that directory, as specified in your Filter field.
To move up a directory, double-click on the double periods (..).
To redisplay the current directory, press the Filter button at the bottom of the dialog.
Files List Field
The Files list field shows the objects in a directory that match the conditions specified in the Filter field.
Filter Button
This button must be pressed, after changing the Directory field or the Filter options, in order to redisplay the Files and Directories lists in accordance with the new selections.
