Customizing File Picker Help

Hello,

I'm trying to play around with the file picker dialog and I want to get rid of the three buttons in the upper right corner of the dialog. The ones for "go up a level", "create a new directory", and "default directory". I've found how to disable all the other controls, but these three don't seem to have control ids listed in the API. At the least I want to get rid of the "go up a level" button.

Thanks for the help,
Tim

You should be able to use the accessibility interface for disabling the buttons. See http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=39740 for "hijacking" the dialog and http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=38165#153979 for exploring the accessibility interface.

There's a feature in OOo called RestrictedPath that might be close to what you want to accomplish.

http://www.google.com/search?q=restrictedpath+site%3Aopenoffice.org

In order for it to work, you have to also enable "Use OpenOffice.org dialogs" (or something like that), located somewhere under Tools | Options | OpenOffice.
