Select different Folders multiple times in same dialog box in Door

Hello all,

 I am new to this community and I have question regarding the selecting folders in data base mini explorer in dialog box without closing.

Actually I have the dxl script which enables to select folders or module in data miniexplorer and then export it to .csv file.

The problem is that I want to select different folder multiple times in the  same data miniexplorer without closing the dialog box,

it works fine for the module but not for the folder.

  I search the dxl reference manual and I found this text :

" The project or folder that is opened in the Database Explorer is similarly locked. If you open a DXL window or run another DXL script, that has its own current folder."

 Could any body help in this regard for selecting different times folder without closing the dialog box .

The code is here

void    selectFolderORModule(DBE dbeXX)
{       
      // button callback
      string UserSelect =  fnMiniExplorer(exportBox,folder("path"), MINI_EXP_LINK_MODS |     MINI_EXP_FORMAL_MODS,"Search for Test Modules","Search for Modules")
      target_path = UserSelect
      set (TargetForMSelected, target_path (NLS_("")))
}

button(exportBox, (NLS_("Select Module OR Folder")), selectFolderORModule)
TargetForMSelected = field (exportBox, (NLS_("Select Folder or Module :   ")), (NLS_("")), 100, false)

 Thanks in adance

Kind Regards,

Any folder or project that you go into is locked. So the references do not change when a user is in.

Why do you want to select the folder multiple times? What exactly do you try to achieve as you are not giving enough information.

Can you give the rest of the script?

I am selecting the different folder as I want to export modules inside folder into .csv file.  My script is selecting modules or folder and export to csv files.

My question is how to select  the different folder multiple times in data base mini explorer with out closing it or Is there any other way to select Doors folder without data base mini explorer ?

The miniexplorer is just a script. You can modify the script to do what you want.
