I am creating a form that allows users to save attachments to it. I searched the Discussion threads and found code that accomplished this. Under the click event of an "Add Attachment" button I have the following JavaScript code:
var myDoc = event.target;
var sFile = "myFile";
myDoc.importDataObject({cName: sFile});
var myDataObject = myDoc.getDataObject(sFile);
var sFileName = myDataObject.path;
attachments.attList.addItem(sFileName,sFile);
The code works fine and attaches files to the form perfectly. Added files are listed in a list box called 'attList' (in a subform called 'attachments'). I have also added working buttons that allow the user to open and remove attachements from the form. The issue is that, once the file is saved, closed, then re-opened the list box is no longer populated with the filenames of the attached documents. Is there a way to keep the list populated with the attachment filenames when the file is re-opened?
I have tried a number of ways to do this and the closest I have come to a solution is by having the form scan for attachments when opened and populating the list under the initialize command. I have been able to populate the list with the name of the last attached file with the following code:
var d=event.target.dataObjects;
for(var i=0;i<d.length;i++)
{
this.addItem(d[i].path);
}
but the "Open Attachment" button will not work, and only the name of the last attached file will appear in the list box. Any guidance is appreciated. Thank you.
