Load user selected file during install

Post by andyc »

Hi,

Is it possible to have a dialog that asks a user to upload a file from their file system during install?

The use case for this is so we can ask the user to add a license file that we have provided via email or similar. We can then read the contents of the file to install the license as appropriate.

I know I could pretty easily ask for the path to the license file, but this seems a bit clunky from a UI perspective.

Thanks!

Hey,

You can simply use the destination dialog as a base for your new dialog - it does more or less what you want, except the use will have to select a file rather than a folder..
