PdcApplication.OpenFile

Declaration

OpenFile(strFilePath As String)

Description

Open a file based on a filepath. This function is mostly intended for use in the Cloud for when a file was saved to the users computer and now needs to be opened. But it also works on-prem.

Parameters

strFilePath: A path leading to a file or folder, for example: "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\". Keep in mind that this path needs to be from the perspective of the user.

Notes

This method is available both in the EciCloud and in the on-prem version of Bemet.

Code example

dim sFileLocalPath as string = "C:\ECI\filename.pdf"
if PDC.App.Info.RunninginCloud then
  'TranslateToLocalPath can handle tsclient and GraphOn
  dim sFileCloudToLocalPath as string = PDC.App.TranslateToLocalPath(sFileLocalPath)

  dim objReport as pdcReport
  objReport = PDC.App.Reports.Open(1409)

  objReport.PrintToFile(sFileCloudToLocalPath)
  if io.file.exists(sFileCloudToLocalPath) then
    PDC.App.OpenFile(sFileLocalPath)
  end if
else
  dim objReport as pdcReport
  objReport = PDC.App.Reports.Open(1409)

  objReport.PrintToFile(sFileLocalPath)
  if io.file.exists(sFileLocalPath) then
    PDC.App.OpenFile(sFileLocalPath)
  end if
end if
