HtmlControls.Ht mlInputFile and WebControls.But ton click event

[bcumminsr]

Hi, I have a input="type" control and two WebControls.But tons that do
not respond to click events if I type into the file input box a network
path and file. I have a break set on the click event and it doesn't
even enter the code. If I use the browse button on the input file
control to select the file then the click events work.

What I am trying to accomplish is have the user select a file on the
network and then just take the value (path and filename) to save in the
database so the file being attached to a work order can be found on the
network... therfore, I do not need to upload the file to the server,
just get the value of path and file.

Anyone have any idea what the problem may be? If not, another way to
achieve this task. Thanks in advance.

Hello

Can you provide HTML content of your page ?

If you just want to get path to some particular file without "Browse"
button you should put on your form simple "<asp:textb ox>" control and
one <Asp:buttoncont rol. If you drag them using the designer then both
of them should be avaiable for you on server site.

please put your code and we'll se what can we do about that

Thanks Gorgo... I need both the browse button to select a file and
also allow the user to input the path and file in manually. With that
said below is the applicable lines of code.

<form id="Form1" method="post" encType="multip art/form-data"
runat="server">
..
..
<INPUT id="txtFile" style="WIDTH: 392px; HEIGHT: 22px" type="file"
size="46" name="txtFile" runat="server">
..
..
<asp:Button id="btnAttach" runat="server" Width="56px"
Text="Attach"></asp:Button>

I found the solution on another link... here is the answer to do this
quickly:

<INPUT language="javas cript" id="txtFile" type="file"
onchange="txtSe ndFile.value=th is.value;">

<input TYPE="hidden" id="txtSendFile " runat="server">

The concept is the runat property is removed on the "type=file" control
to prevent the file from being uploaded.
