Ok, my last post was about 12 Month ago. Ay, hard times since then, but i’ve developed my openlaszlo skills and today i’m proud to introduce my first really useful openlaszlo class.

For a project i needed a decent file browser, showing the files on the webserver and letting the user to select a file. So, if you need something like that (see pictures below), go ahead and grab a copy of the filebrowser openlaszlo class files.

How to use:
1. Copy the filebrowser.class.lzx file and the filebrowser_buttons directory to your openlaszlo application directory

2. Include the class-file like every library:
<include href="filebrowser.class.lzx"/>
3. and put an instance on your canvas like here:
<filebrowserclass name="fileBrowser" x="20" y="20" width="600" height="400" DirPath="files/" SrcPath="http://localhost/path/to/xml/provider.php" callAttributes="${{menuname:'read_mediadir'}}">
<button text="Cancel" onclick="parent.close()"/>
<button text="Select" onclick="parent.takeSelected(Debug.write,Debug)"/>
</filebrowserclass>


Yep, that’s it.

Ok, i know you’ll still have more questions, so i’ll post a short FAQ on the next post.
