Simple file browser

[codeb]

Anybody have idea or sample to build directory and files file manager/browser application with UniGUI?

You can use a TreeView along with a UniListbox or UniStringGrid.

do you want browse client files, or server files ?

 

i'm also interested in this, but i think client browse files it's not possible.

Just do what you would do in a regular VCL app. Use findfirst, findnext, etc.. There are no shell components in uniGui.

Yes, but this only get server files (where unigui application is running).

and we want browse client files. .

Well it seems at least one person wanted to browse server files. The reason for the impossibility of browsing the client side file system is that it is a browser technology limitation. It is not something specific to uniGUI in any way. It would be a major major security vulnerability if server code could access client files, so html/javascript simply doesn't allow it. There has been talk of a limited javascript api for it, but nothing solid has materialized.
