Proper Written Documentation of API is needed besides Updates

@Lindon I would like to Access C:\ from a Button...

How would I access it from interface?

Content.makeFrontInterface(500, 400);
const var Button1 = Content.getComponent("Button1");

inline function onButton1Control(component, value)
{
   
};

Content.getComponent("Button1").setControlCallback(onButton1Control);

There is no such thing g'teed to be there as "C:" - so you're code will break on some users machines.. use one of the special locations.

@Lindon Then C:\Users\Tania\AppData\Roaming\PluginsName

@Lindon Hmm.. But unable to figure out var callback and var startFolder

E.g
FileSystem.browseForDirectory(var startFolder, var callback)

if you dont know how to use the var callback - you should go read some javascript documentation about function calls.

Write. Some. Code.

simple console print statements that show you the values for the special locations on your machine...

..and read the documentation it clearly states:

AppData The app data directory. This is the main directory for your project which will house the configuration files and user presets.

[Lindon]

so this:

FileSystem.browse(FileSystem.AppData, false, "*.txt", function(result)
{
    // the parameter is a File object, so we just show it
    // in the OS' file browser.
    result.show();
});

Which by the way is taken almost entirely from the existing documentation...

@Lindon

Content.makeFrontInterface(500, 400);
const var appDataFolder = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData);
const var presetsFolder = appDataFolder.getChildFile("User Presets");

const var Button1 = Content.getComponent("Button1");


inline function onButton1Control(component, value)
{
	FileSystem.browse(presetsFolderUser, false, "*.preset", function(file)
	
};

Content.getComponent("Button1").setControlCallback(onButton1Control);

What I am doing wrong here?

@Tania-Ghosh The last parameter needs to be a function. A function looks like this function (parameters) {}

Remember this is a parameter inside the .browse function call so you also need to put a closing parenthesis like you would for anything other function call.

There are plenty of example of this kind of thing on the forum. Here for example: https://forum.hise.audio/topic/2807/new-api-server-and-filesystem?_=1618742189142

Not working

[d.healey]

@Tania-Ghosh That's the same code in your last post. You haven't written the callback function properly and you haven't put the closing parenthesis on the .browse function call. Take a look at the examples in the link I posted.

[Tania Ghosh]

@d-healey Sorry but didn't understand...

[Tania Ghosh]

Found from this post

var folder = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Expansions).getChildFile("UserPresets");
FileSystem.browse(folder, false, "", function() {});

[Tania Ghosh]

@d-healey Ok Done... Prob Solved.

Thank you :)

[Tania Ghosh]

@Lindon . Thank you man for nice Explanation. (y)

[Lindon]

@Tania-Ghosh any time.
