Is there a supported way for a user program to know what files
have been selected in FileView (user executive) ?
I would like to write my own programs to act on files that have
been selected, just as copy, type, etc. do in the standard Files
menu For example, a program that will open up the file and display
it in an image widget (if there is an image in it).
A pointer to documentation would be appreciated.

RE: <<< Note 688.0 by DEMOAX::HENCHEY "Paul" >>>
There is a memo on FileView tailoring that will tell you how
to do what you're asking for in note 6 of the FileView
notes conference on BULOVA.
Press KP7, etc... to add the FileView notes conference to
your notebook.

FileView uses the "standard" DWT global selection mechanism. Use XtGetSelectionValue to request the XA_PRIMARY atom in XA_STRING format. You will get a list of file names, separated by \n (newline) characters. Or, use the FileView command file callbacks if you want to be integrated with the FileView application startup mechanism. -steve- | |||||
