Generate out put file name validations

Hi,

I need to do the validations for the generate out put file name. In DCR, When we click on Generate button, it opens a dialogue box. Then we enter select path and enter file name for out put file and then click on ok. The .html file will be generated with the given name in dialogue box.

Now i need to do the validations for this file name. I am trying to use onGenerate event. But it is not showing the generate dialogue box at all, if i use onGenerate event. If this is the case, where user can enter name for the out put file ?

Please suggest me.

Either use a JavaScript prompt() or capture that information in a DCR field. You won't have a fancy browser widget though, unless you somehow use a browser field to capture a folder? I don't even think that's possible because it has to pick files, so if you want something more than a plain text field, you have some work to do.

This is perhaps easier if the folder path to the DCR matches the target folder path as a rule, in which case you can ask for just the file name.

onGenerate triggers before the form is generated. So, make sure that your event handler returns boolean "true" if you want to continue.
As to getting the name, check IWPageGeneration Object. It provides some access to Form Settings, *may* help...
