File Picker Client
The file picker client allows a user to select a local file.
Note: This does not actually upload a document anywhere. It just saves the file name to a binding. You will need to create an event and use the file-transfer-erp widget to make things happen with the file.
| Property Group | Properties | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Id | Unique identifier for the control |
| — | — | — |
| Basic | Label Text | Sets the label text within the control. (Fig. A) |
| Behavior | On Blur | Click this to create an OnBlur event for the control. On Blur is triggered when the control loses focus. |
| Behavior | On Create | Click this to create an OnCreate event for the control On Create is triggered when the control is painted to the GUI. |
| Comments | Comments | Add some developer notes to the control. These are not customer-facing and are only visible in App Studio (Fig. B) |
| Data | Key Field | Indicates that a bound component is a key field. If true, the field is enabled if there is no current record, allowing the user to select an existing record or create a new one. Would not make sense to be used with this control. |
| Data | EpBinding | Bind the button to a DataView.Column. |
| Layout | Alignment | Set the alignment for the control. Valid options are |
| Layout | Width | Sets the specific width (pixels) for the control. It would seem you cannot go below 290px (Fig. D) |
| State | Personalizable | If true, a user can personalize this component(hide/show) |
| State | Customizable | If true, a user can customize this component in child layers |
| State | Hidden | Hides the control from view. |
| State | Disabled | Disables the control. The control will not allow editing or focus. |
| State | Read Only | Makes the control read only so that it will not allow editing. The control can still be focused. |
| State | Auto Focus | When enabled, the control is automatically focused on creation. |
| Advanced | Multi Select | Allows a user to select multiple files. (Fig. E) |
| Advanced | Hide Search | Hides the search icon which disables the file selection. <Insert “But Why” Ryan Reynolds GIF> (Fig. F) |
| Advanced | Filter |
 Filters the file types allowed. Syntax is |.pdf If you want multiple file types, there’s a bug |.pdf|.xlsx|.xlsx The second |.xlsx will be ignored.|.pdf|.xlsx|.doc|.txt|.css will give you a filter for PDFs, DOCs, and CSS… (Fig. G) I GUESS I’ll submit a ticket for that one. (CS0003827637 ← This was a mistake…  ) |
| Advanced | File Cache Key |
Cache key to be used to store the file in cache. If empty, the file is not stored in cache. Not sure if this works, but I could not find the file in either the browser cache or the local cache. |
