Unable to right-click media field in Table view

Classic Servoy

We have a table for scanned signatures with a key field, text field, and media field. In Table view users cannot right-click the media field to bring up the “Load Image” option until they first click into the text field. In other words the cursor must be blinking in the text field in order for the right-click option to work on the media field.

This is the way it works now.
You first have to select the row, and than you can right-click it.
What you could do, is to present the media-field in a label. (So they don’t have the abbility to right-click) and make a button next to it, with a method that loads the media(blob) field.

something like this:

var filename = application.showFileOpenDialog()
if (filename)
{
mediafield = filename
}

This way, you have full-control, about everything.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I like that approach. Thank you very much!

How does this work on the Windows platform. Can it catch the full path and file name? I have tried it as you describe without success.

I’ve got it :D :

var filename = application.showFileOpenDialog()
if (filename)
{
mediafield = application.readFile(filename)
}

Yes, you are absolutly right!
My example stores only the full-path
