Dynamic Browser path needs to be changed

We have two fields as below:

1. radio button
2. browser button.

The requirment is that the browser path needs to be changed with respect to the what ever radio button is clicked.

I have checked different form api but i am ot getting the right one, except IWItem.setRegex() function.

Can anyone tell me how to do this operation.

Thanks,
Karthik

What does browser path needs to be changed ... means?? You want to change the ceiling directory path or change the earlier selected value with in the same. Please clarify.

by Default in the DCT i have mentioned this path:

browser extns=".dcr" initial-dir="/templatedata/Wicked/Event/Data/"

If i select one of the radio button

it should be changed to something like this

browser extns=".dcr" initial-dir="/templatedata/Wicked/Venue/Data/"

How can i do this operation

As per me, not possible through Browse button. Best bet would be to use cgi-callout. Smiley Happy

What version of TeamSite (including SP's and patches)?
Have you searched the forums? I recall someone providing some un-supported code to do the kind of thing you want - if you search you should be able to find it.

setRegex is for adjusting the validation-regex associated with the contents of the field, not for adjusting initial-dir or ceiling-dir attributes of a browser element.

I believe there's a FR filed for providing a supported way to do this, but for now you'll have to find and try the unsupported mechanism previously alluded to.

AKS,

can u tell me some logic how to implement this through CGI..

The problem i am having oer here is that i need to change the DCT for a particular instance of the DCR.

if two user's open a same DCT, one user might select one radio button and other user might have selected some other.

Please let me know if you have any.

Instead of using the Browser element put a CGI Call out button along with a text box. On click of the callout button... check the value of the radio button selected and pass it to the CGI being called.
In CGI... use the value being passed to fetch the path value and put it bakc to textbox.

if two user's open a same DCT, one user might select one radio button and other user might have selected some other.

It does not matter ... onSave a new DCR would be created having different values.
