Problem in PutFileDialog and GetFileDialog

[selvakkanit19061983]

I have been migrated source from CS4 to CC2018.

Os: mac 10.13.1

AIFileDialogFilters ops;

sAIUser->PutFileDialog(ai::UnicodeString(Title), &ops, ai::UnicodeString(csvFileName), outCSVFile);

sAIUser->GetFileDialog(ai::UnicodeString(Title), &ops, outCSVFile);

I have problem in above code snippet. There is no dialog will opened.

And I tried to set filter of *.csv files.

But it run correctly in Windows machine.

How can I set filter to this function?

Or any other possible cases available to replace this function?

Regards,

Sandy

This code works for me on CC 2018 on mac:

        AIFileDialogFilters filter;

        filter.AddFilter(ai::UnicodeString("*.ai"));

        filter.AddFilter(ai::UnicodeString("*.*"));

        ai::UnicodeString path("/Users/Shared");

        ai::FilePath fp(path);

        sAIUser->PutFileDialog(ai::UnicodeString("Save File"),&filter,ai::UnicodeString("MyFile.ai"),fp);

Thank you for your reply,

Your code works but, the dialog opens and disappear automatically in fractions of seconds and Illustrator has no responds for any other input. I will quit illustrator by Force Quit... option. Is any other process to do after this snippet?

There is same problem for following snippet,

sAIUser->GetFileDialog(ai::UnicodeString("Save File"),&filter, fp);

regards,

Sandy

It works fine for me. When do you call this code? What else is your plugin doing?

[selvakkanit19061983]

fPPLib.AddEventListener(EVENT_TYPE_OK_CLICKED, OkClickedFunc, this);

static void OkClickedFunc(const csxs::event::Event* const eventParam, void* const context)

{

    AIFileDialogFilters filter;

    filter.AddFilter(ai::UnicodeString("*.ai"));

    filter.AddFilter(ai::UnicodeString("*.*"));

    ai::UnicodeString path("/Users/Shared");

    ai::FilePath fp(path);

    AIErr erstatus=sAIUser->PutFileDialog(ai::UnicodeString("Save File"),&filter,ai::UnicodeString("MyFile.ai"),fp);

}

It doesn't work in Event Listener function.

Other than its work fine.

You need to set the app context if your code is not called from a plugin message

static void OkClickedFunc(const csxs::event::Event* const eventParam, void* const context)

{

    AppContext appContext(pluginRef);

    AIFileDialogFilters filter;

    filter.AddFilter(ai::UnicodeString("*.ai"));

    filter.AddFilter(ai::UnicodeString("*.*"));

    ai::UnicodeString path("/Users/Shared");

    ai::FilePath fp(path);

    AIErr erstatus=sAIUser->PutFileDialog(ai::UnicodeString("Save File"),&filter,ai::UnicodeString("MyFile.ai"),fp);

}

Thank you for your replay,

But your code yet not work.

I will attached Project with your code.

FreeGrid.zip - Google Drive

Copy this code in sample codes in Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 SDK.

Please check the code.

Run the plugin by following steps,

1. Choose Windows->SDK->FreeGrid

2. Press the “Transform” button in bottom of dialog.

Then you got an issue.

But, I will add this code as follows,

freeGridController->UnloadExtension();

sAIUser->PutFileDialog(ai::UnicodeString("Save File"),&filter,ai::UnicodeString("MyFile.ai"),fp);

Then only PutFileDialog dialog will displayed, but freeGridController dialog didn’t close because, I will UnloadExtension().

Is this correct process?

Is any other possible ways to display PutFileDialog dialog and close freeGridController dialog?

I can give you advice and answer questions. I don't have time to debug your code for you.

I see you are calling PutFileDialog from a csxs event callback. I have had problems before with showing popups while a panel is open. You could try unloading the extension in the callback and then setting a zero timer to call your code that calls PutFileDialog.
