    Component to give folder path

    I am using smartGWT power edition.

    I need to select a location(folder) on my system where i will be saving some files. How can i take input such that user can browse and select the required path. Which smartGWT component should i use.

    Hi swatiagarwal,

    for obvious security reasons this is not possible in any website regardless of the technology used.

    If I'm misunderstanding this, and this is about saving on the server, I think a TreeGrid with a DataSource where the fetch-DMI does the directory traversal, would be a good idea.

    Best regards

      The user clicks on upload folder, a browse pop up appears. He then selects a folder from his system.
      This way i get the folder location.
      Then i save some file on that location.

      Is it not possible?

        Only thing possible is like in this sample. If it shows a "Save" Dialog of just saves to your normal Download directory depends on your browser settings, e.g. "always do this action for this filetype/mimetype".
        If the download window is shown, you can't give a default path, again for security reasons.

        Did you see this working anywhere in the web before?

          Thanks a lot Blama. I agree with you. The application used before was a desktop application. Hence it worked there.
          Thank you
