FileDlgShow Undefined Error

[2Pale4TX]

I can't seem to get the FileDlgShow to work.  I get an error "Variable is undefined: 'FileDlgShow' whenever I try to use it.

I am using version 10.2.  The below is straight from Excercise 5-1 in the Diadem Advanced Course Manual.

Option Explicit 

Call DataDelAll(1)                     

DlgState = FileDlgShow("C:\Excercises\DIAdem Advanced\","*.tdm")
If (DlgState = "IDOk") Then
  Call DataFileLoad(FileDlgNameList(0),",")
  Call ChnSmooth("[1]/[2]","/Smoothed",12,"maxNumber") 

  Call ChnPeakFind("[1]/[1]","[1]/Smoothed","/PeakX","/PeakY",5,"Max.Peaks","Amplitude") 

  Call DataFileSave("Results.tdm","TDM")

  Call PicLoad("Smooth_2")               

  Call PicUpdate(0)                      

Else
  Call MsgBoxDisp("Data loading has been aborted!")
End If

Extra Info : If I take out the Option Explicit the error changes to "Type mismatch: 'FileDlgShow'

Hello!

The FileDlgShow command is not part of DIAdem 10.2. It was implemented later in Version 11. You have to use the bulky FileNameGet command instead.

Thanks for your help!

I had a similar issue with FileDlgNameList  - is FileDlgFileName the equivalent command?

Hello Sherry!

Yes, you have to use FileDlgFileName. This string will contain all names and you have to split it on the | chracter to get an array.
