CreatePath property
|
|
| acFileStorage component as subproperty of AutoExtract.ExtractTo structure.
|
| property CreatePath: Boolean;
|
| Controls whether FileStorage should automatically create path for exctractable files.
|
| 1. If you would like to extract stored files to the Desktop — just make TopLevelDir property "sdDesktop". Leave SubDirectory string clean.
|
|
|
| 2. If you would like to extract files to current directory, create subdirectory named, let's say, "plugins" and exctract files there — set ToplevelDir property as "sdCurrentDir" and assign SubDirectory property as "plugins" (SubDirectory := 'plugins'). If you would like to create this subdirectory automatically even if it's does not exists — set CreatePath property to True.
|
|
|
| 3. If you would like to extract your files to non-system folder (for example, to "h:\databases\my own database\") then you don't need to use any toplevel directories, just set ToplevelDir property to "sdNone" and assign to SubDirectory "h:\databases\my own database" path. If you would like to create this subdirectory automatically even if it's does not exists — set CreatePath property to True.
|
| You don't need to change anything from AutoExtract subproperties at run-time because of these auto extracting features used by acFileStorage on program startup only. You may set this property at design-time only, all run-time modifications will senseless.
