can u please drop the apz here?

[bobbie]

I guess if he wants to give out the program he will .
It doesn't look good asking for something like that I think.

[mz241508]

if you guys didnt notice, but there is an bug on the listbox that contains the folders in it.
The problem is, a error message comes up when you enter folder that contains no folders.:huh

can anyone please help fix this function, this is the current function i use:

lc = ListBox.GetCount("ListBox3");
if lc == 0 then
Dialog.Message("", "There are no folders in this directory.", MB_OK, MB_ICONSTOP, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
else
selected = ListBox.GetSelected("ListBox3");
for j,k in selected do
result = ListBox.GetItemData("ListBox3", k)
folder = result
fu() -- updates the files
uio() -- updates the folders
end
end

[AlexSugar]

My suggest to all :

Please use the Key Events to control the application with a keyboard. This will make the application much quicker!

Think about :

CREATE
DELETE
and
EXTRACT

Buttons! Give for every of them a special key!

[RizlaUK]

change this bit

if lc == 0 then
Dialog.Message("", "There are no folders in this directory.", MB_OK, MB_ICONSTOP, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
else

to this

if lc == 0 then
Dialog.Message("", "There are no folders in this directory.", MB_OK, MB_ICONSTOP, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
Application.ExitScript();
else

and it should fix the error

[mz241508]

thanks for the help but that didnt fix it because posted the wrong function, sorry for that...Silly me :p

the function is(gets the folders into a listbox):

function uio()

--Clear Listbox
ListBox.DeleteItem("ListBox3", -1);

--Search for folders
file = Folder.Find(_DesktopFolder, "**", false);

for j,file_path in file do

--get the file name
file_path2 = String.Right(file_path, (String.Length(file_path) - String.ReverseFind(file_path, "\\", true)));

--add folders to listbox
ListBox.AddItem("ListBox3", file_path2, file_path);
ListBox.SelectItem("ListBox3", 1);
end

ListBox.SetUpdate("ListBox3", true);
end

i think the way to fix it is to have a ELSE function type...mightbe

[RizlaUK]

here, try this, i havent tested it but it looks right to me


function uio()
--Clear Listbox
ListBox.DeleteItem("ListBox3", -1);
--Search for folders
file = Folder.Find(_DesktopFolder, "**", false);
if file then
for j,file_path in file do
--get the file name
file_path2 = String.Right(file_path, (String.Length(file_path) - String.ReverseFind(file_path, "\\", true)));
--add folders to listbox
ListBox.AddItem("ListBox3", file_path2, file_path);
end
ListBox.SelectItem("ListBox3", 1);
end
ListBox.SetUpdate("ListBox3", true);
end


i added a "if" statment and moved the ListBox.SelectItem("ListBox3", 1); out of the loop

thanks rizlaUK

Could you add to it a bit were you can choose to split the zip file up as most places wont allow a single file to be uploaded......say

Option1)[checkbox] 15,000,000 Bytes = 15 megs
Option2)[checkbox] 50,000,000 Bytes = 50 megs
Option3)[checkbox] 100,000,000 Bytes = 100 megs

Just an idea....Would be great for me Using Rapidshare....

Or would it be possible to release your source files so others can try learning from it

I wanted to do something similar to this but using WinRAR instead as i prefer the compression methods used to WinZIP...any pointers, help or source code from yours would be massively welcome

[PROPHET07]

Could you please post the Apz file for your project..:) I would really like to get it to work with the Rar.dll that is free or something else if possible..

[RizlaUK]

you can not use the rar.dll directly with AMS, you will need to make a wrapper dll......same for 7zip.dll

[PROPHET07]

Is it still possible for the original maker of the file to upload the Source files please..Its a great bit of work & I would like to learn from it..If they ever do decide to add Rar that would be a bonus..You never know it may happen one day..:rolleyes
