OpenFileDialog in FileManagement Codeunit #403

Closed GreatScott000 closed 7 years ago

Related to #220. We have used this to just get the name of a file to reference we don't actually want to upload the file. The OpenFileDialog returns the filename selected, which is all we need. Do you have a alternative suggestions? We can't use the File table either.

The scenario we do this is we have a setup table to point to a document template that a user later adds links to a page and fills out.

The dialog allows for a nice user interface rather than just an empty textbox and the user has to enter the correct path and name to the file.

The OpenFileDialog procedure has been made available for Extension development. However, note that the functionality will not work in the web client since it cannot run client side .NET
