Sysoperation filenamesave edt button not showing

Short question (i think)

Im converting a runbasebatch class to sysoperation. The class is doing an export to file. In the datacontract are 2 parameters. A boolean and filenamesave.

Im not using a custom ui builder. Just simple auto created dialog.

But for some reason the filenamesave dialogfield is not showing the browsebutton.

Anyone got a idea?

Regards, Hans

    Hi Hans,

    You have to use some additional statements:

        Dialog      dialog = new Dialog('Save file');    
    DialogField DialogFilename = dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(FilenameSave));
    Filename    fileName;
    
    dialogFilename.lookupButton(FormLookupButton::Always);

    dialog.filenameLookupFileName(fileName);
    dialog.filenameLookupFilter(['*.*','All files']);


    Hope this will help you.

    Thanks, work like a charm now. Ps. for anyone with the same issue, I created a ui builder based on sysoperationautomaticuibuilder and overwrote the postbuild. after the super in that method you can retrieve the dialog field using something like:

    this.bindInfo().getDialogField(this.dataContractObject(), methodStr(MyDataContract, parmFileName));

    and then you can use the lookupbutton method on the returned dialogfield as Andre suggested
