hello
i'm having a problem with limiting the file types allowed for teh ajax uploader
now i write au1.AllowedExtension=".pdf|.doc"
and it appears to be working properly... it does not allow any other type
however
the browse file and select dialog shows All Files(*.*)
is there a way to change that as well?
thanks

Hi,
Unfortunately there is no way to change that. You will have to use Plug-in based solution such as ActiveX or Adobe Flash based components for that.
Thanks

Hi,
Do you mean to show something like "The uploader only takes .pdf or .doc file, but you have selected a .txt file" if user selected a file that won't be accepted? I believe that is technically possible but we will need to change our code to do that.
Thanks

yes exactly thats what i want
i mean we already have a limit from asp.net to limit the filetypes to be shown
so an informative message would be a great idea
i was so happy to see the allowedextension property
but with the message box that would be great

I see. We will look into it and see if we can add that. We will post again once we have an update.

Hi, We have posted a new build should addressed this issue. The new build would display an error message immediately and clear the input box when the selected file has an invalid extension. Please see your private message for the download location. Note that the default message is not very user friendly. However you can handle the uploader's ClientSideOnError handler to provide your own message text. It will be something like this:
Code: HTML/ASPX
<eo:AJAXUploader ClientSideOnError="error_handler" ...>
...
</eo:AJAXUploader>
Code: JavaScript
function error_handler(control, error, message)
{
if (error == "extension_not_allowed")
{
//display your own error message....
.....
}
else
{
//display the default message
alert(message);
}
}
Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!
