Stopping attachment action

[tharagen]

Hi

Is the a way i can stop a user from attaching a document if the file name already exist within the files that are already attached.Thanks

You could loop through the names and remove duplicate attachments when the user submits or saves

app.execMenuItem("AddFileAttachment");

var d = event.target.dataObjects;

for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++)

{

    TextField.rawValue =  d[i].name;

}

Hi,

The thing is i want to stop it and displays a message saying it already exist.

I was thinking this should work "event.cancelAction()"

And  this wil not work in the cases when user add/remove attachments from the attachments panel.

So i was looking for an event which fires immediately when a user attaches/removes file from the attachment panel, so that the text field refreshes automatically.
