@WorkingDir in title of FileOpenDialog

[LaneH]

I am making a script to accompany the program Microstation that will open up a file in a new instance.

Microstation's internal File Open dialog has the word "Open - " followed by the current directory.  This directory in the title stays current as you navigate to the file of your choosing.

The only way I could think to replicate this was with @WorkingDir and AdlibRegister but to my understanding an open dialog disallows AdlibRegister

#include <FileConstants.au3>

Func WorkingDir ()
   Global $WorkingDir=@WorkingDir
EndFunc

WinActivate("[CLASS:MstnTop; INSTANCE:1]", "")
WorkingDir()
$file=FileOpenDialog("Open - "&$WorkingDir,@WorkingDir, "All (*.*)",$FD_FILEMUSTEXIST + $FD_PATHMUSTEXIST)
If $file="" Then
   Exit
   Else
WinActivate("[CLASS:MstnTop; INSTANCE:1]", "")
Send("{ENTER}")
Send("newsession "&$file&"{ENTER}")
EndIf

I don't have the AdlibRegister command in the above code because it wasn't working anyway.  It is the reason I made defining $WorkingDir a function though.

Is there a simple line I can throw in here to keep @WorkingDir fresh or is this not possible?

Thanks

Take a look here:

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Add this line:

WinSetTitle($hWndFrom, "", @WorkingDir)

Under the Case $CDN_FOLDERCHANGE

[LaneH]

That resulted in the same thing I was getting with my own code.  A static window title of the working directory upon opening.  Doesn't change as directory does.

expandcollapse popup

;   _FileDialogsEx.au3 example #1:
;   create big resizeable file open dialog, defaulting to thumbnails view
;   demonstrates how to set size/position of dialog window, how to set default view mode for listview.

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include "_FileDialogsEx.au3"

Global $f_CDN_Start = 1

$Return = _FileOpenDialogEx("Open - "&@WorkingDir, @WorkingDir, "All Files (*.*)", BitOR($OFN_ENABLESIZING,$OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT), "", 0, "_OFN_HookProc")
If @error Then
    ConsoleWrite('No file selected.' & @CRLF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite($Return & @CRLF)
EndIf

Func _OFN_HookProc($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    Switch $Msg
        Case $WM_NOTIFY
            Local $hWndFrom, $iIDFrom, $iCode, $tNMHDR
            $tNMHDR = DllStructCreate("hwnd hWndFrom;int idFrom;int code", $lParam)
            $hWndFrom = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "hWndFrom")
            $iIDFrom = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "idFrom")
            $iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "code")
            Switch $iCode
                Case $CDN_INITDONE
                Case $CDN_FOLDERCHANGE
                   WinSetTitle($hWndFrom, "", @WorkingDir)
                    If $f_CDN_Start Then;if executing first time
                        Local $hODLV = _FindWindowEx($hWndFrom, 0, "SHELLDLL_DefView", "")
                        If $hODLV <> 0 Then
                            DllCall('user32.dll','int','SendMessage','hwnd',$hODLV,'uint',$WM_COMMAND,'wparam',$ODM_VIEW_THUMBS,'lparam',0)
                        EndIf
                        WinMove($hWndFrom, "", 0,0, 800,600, 0)
                        $f_CDN_Start = 0;to make sure these tweaks happens only once.
                    EndIf
                Case $CDN_SELCHANGE
                Case $CDN_FILEOK
            EndSwitch
        Case Else
    EndSwitch
EndFunc
Func _FindWindowEx($hWndParent,$hWndChildAfter,$sClassName,$sWinTitle="")
    Local $aRet = DllCall('user32.dll','hwnd','FindWindowEx', 'hwnd', $hWndParent,'hwnd',$hWndChildAfter,'str',$sClassName,'str',$sWinTitle)
    If $aRet[0] = 0 Then ConsoleWrite('_FindWindowEx() Error : ' & _WinAPI_GetLastErrorMessage())
    Return $aRet[0]
EndFunc

Exit

Did I not do what you meant?

I think what your asking is you want the fileopen dialog title to change as you navigate through directories.  If this is the case then ya AdlibRegister wouldn't work because FileOpenDialog pauses the script until a file is picked.  In this case you have two options:

1.  You can do a search for multithread and make a multithread application

2.  The easier approach would be to create a seperate autoit program to monitor the FileOpenDialog window, probably use WingetText along with AutoItSetOption("WinDetectHiddenText", 1), and then use WinSetTitle as suggested by MyEarth.

This is an alternative, work for me like my first does:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIComboBoxEx.au3>

Global $hOTitle, $hCTitle, $hITitle = "[CLASS:#32770;TITLE:" & @WindowsDir & "]"

$hGUI = GUICreate("MY_GUI", 200, 110, -1, -1)
$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("FileOpenDialog", 52, 40, 100, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $hButton
            _FileOpenDialog()
    EndSwitch
    _ChangeTitle()
WEnd
GUIDelete($hGUI)

Func _FileOpenDialog()
    Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "' & "FileOpenDialog(@WindowsDir, @WindowsDir & '\', 'Images (*.jpg;*.bmp)', 1 + 4, '', WinGetHandle('MY_GUI', ''))" & '"')
    WinWait($hITitle)
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>_FileOpenDialog

Func _ChangeTitle()
    If WinExists($hITitle, "") Then
        $hCTitle = _OpenSaveDialog_GetPath_ComboMode($hITitle)
        If $hOTitle <> $hCTitle Then
            WinSetTitle($hOTitle, "", $hCTitle)
            $hOTitle = $hCTitle
            $hITitle = "[CLASS:#32770;TITLE:" & $hCTitle & "]"
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func _OpenSaveDialog_GetPath_ComboMode($sTitle = "[CLASS:#32770]") ; by MrCreator
    Local $sRet_Path = "", $hCombo, $iIndex, $sCurrent_Text
    $hCombo = ControlGetHandle($sTitle, "", "ComboBox1")
    $iIndex = _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetCurSel($hCombo)
    For $i = $iIndex To 0 Step -1
        $sCurrent_Text = ""
        _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetItemText($hCombo, $i, $sCurrent_Text)
        If StringRegExp($sCurrent_Text, "(?i)[a-z]:") Then
            $sRet_Path = StringRegExpReplace($sCurrent_Text, "(?i).*([a-z]):\).*", "\1") & ":\" & $sRet_Path
            If StringLen($sRet_Path) = 3 Then Return $sRet_Path ; Addition for C:\ MyEarth
            Return StringRegExpReplace($sRet_Path, "\\$", "")
        EndIf
        $sRet_Path = $sCurrent_Text & "\" & $sRet_Path
    Next
    $sCurrent_Text = ""
    _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_GetItemText($hCombo, $iIndex, $sCurrent_Text)
    If $sCurrent_Text = "" Then Return SetError(1, 0, "")
    Return $sCurrent_Text
EndFunc   ;==>_OpenSaveDialog_GetPath_ComboMode

MyEarth, are you testing these before you post?  That code results in a static title as well.  Are you understanding what I'm trying to do here?  

TouchODeath, thanks for the suggestions.  Was definitely hoping for a simpler solution, but I suppose a more difficult one is more fun to accomplish.  I'll post how I eventually achieve this if and when I can.

[johnmcloud]

Maybe he use a different OS then you? Try this:

Func _ChangeTitle()
    If WinExists($hITitle, "") Then
;~         $hCTitle = _OpenSaveDialog_GetPath_ComboMode($hITitle)
        $hCTitle = ControlGetText($hITitle, "", "[CLASS:ToolbarWindow32; INSTANCE:2]")
        ConsoleWrite($hCTitle)
        If $hOTitle <> $hCTitle Then
            WinSetTitle($hOTitle, "", $hCTitle)
            $hOTitle = $hCTitle
            $hITitle = "[CLASS:#32770;TITLE:" & $hCTitle & "]"
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndFunc

If you have a x64 don't forget to run the script as x64

EDIT: Also _FileDialogsEx work fine on my x64 W7 ( only if run it with 32Bit version ) the title change everytime i'll navigate into a new folder and i prefer that instead of the second example but both work.
