14012 - Implement View... button widget for CCK wizard

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(CCK Graveyard :: CCK-Wizard, defect, P1)

Description

[robinf]

Per team decision, we want to implement a View... button widget that acts as
follows:

For a file that the user specifies in the wizard, clicking the View button will
launch a new window that displays the contents of that file, so the user can be
reminded of what the file looks like/contains. File types we want to be able to
display are GIF, GIF animation (or perhaps just the first frame of the GIF
animation if the Microsoft tools don't allow us to display the animation), html,
text, and BMP.

Need to make sure we don't launch MSIE for any of this.

fixed - function oncommand Viewfile(%path to gif file%) will throw up a window
with the gif image. OpenURL(url location) will open the bookmarks.html or any
html file. the text files are opened using the current nci file editor.

Reopening

View button will do the following after selected:

1-if trying to display a .txt file, launches Notepad
2-if trying to display an .html file, launches Communicator
3-if trying to display a .bmp file, nothing happens
4-if trying to display a .gif file, nothing happens

the cck.zip has not been bundled with the viewer in the root directory and hence
you cant use the viewer.

Comment 8

[varada]

Marking this as fixed. Frank has bundled the viewer along with the cck.zip and
we can view files now.

Comment 9

[bmartin]

Reopening...

ImageEye.exe is still part of the CCK builds...  I'm pretty sure this is not
what we have decided on to display images and files,  is it?

Clearing FIXED resolution due to reopen.

will implement trivial fix to point these at the browser.

Comment 12

[varada]

Marking as fixed - changed the viewfile viewer- it now launches the browser to
view html/gif/bmp files. Till we decide on a different gif viewer we shall stick
to this one.

Comment 13

[bmartin]

Selecting View does launch the browser for gif and html files.  However, when I
want to view the autorun shell's background .bmp, it launches MSpaint.exe since
the browser is not associated to .bmp files.

Marking this Verified Fixed.
