Here is the sample in C#, it comes directly from the vScanSample where I always look for it.
public bool myact_set_folder(string sPath) // set the folder to search for files { dcSmart.SmartNav localSmartObj = null; try { localSmartObj = new dcSmart.SmartNav(this); //If the parameter is a smart parameter, look up the actual path (returns the original path if it was not a smart parameter) mFolderPath = localSmartObj.MetaWord(sPath); RRLog.Write("Image source folder set to: " + mFolderPath); } catch (Exception ex) { RRLog.Write("myact_set_folder error: " + ex.ToString()); return false; } finally { localSmartObj = null; } return true; }
Here is the VBScript Datacap custom action version to parse the smart parameter. This comes directly from one of my own custom actions I use for doing text searching.
'Get the smart parameter for the FinderString sTmp = MetaWord(FinderString) If (sTmp = "") Then 'Field Value Set oChild = CurrentObj.FindChild(Right((FinderString), Len((FinderString))-1)) If Not(oChild Is Nothing) Then WriteLog("Hostname from field") sTmp = oChild.Text Set oChild = Nothing End If End If ValueToSearch = sTmp WriteLog("ValueToSearch = " & ValueToSearch)
Hope I remember that I left myself this note here
