getfiled questition

[DI Klaus Umlauf]

i use acad2000
in one of my .lsp i use
(setq grmfil (getfiled "Koordinatenfile auswählen" dasistin "y*" 4)) to get a filename, is there a possibility to have the window opened in DETAIL-mode, sorted by date, so that the last *.y created file appears in the first row of the selection window.

Not that I know of.
If there is, I would like to know this also.

Hi Guys,

A long time ago, I threw in a sneeky hidden option on dos_getfilem and dos_getfiled to force the file dialog to open in detailed mode. Just append a T (true) token at following the filter string. For example:

(dos_getfiled "Select file" "D:\\Drawings\\" "Drawing files (*.dwg)|*.dwg||" T) (dos_getfilem "Select files" "D:\\Drawings\\" "Drawing files (*.dwg)|*.dwg||" T)

I thought I had asked about that once before.
Good job Dale!
Thanks.

Pretty cool, thanks Dale,

Little tiny "however", when I resize my dialog for this feature, the next time I run the program the bottom potentially extends off the bottom of the screen. Without knowing how dialog boxes are located when accessing it looks like the top middle of the dialog is relocated close to the center of the screen. Is that intentional or is there a way for it to remember the last location and size the dialog was accessed?

I know... I know... just don't resize it too big. Just thought I would ask.
Thanks again Dale.
