In this lesson we will take a look at the WebFileUploadButton control. The WebFileUploadButton is a button that opens a file selection window, enabling the user to upload files to the server and utilize them at a later time. This is particularly useful for tasks such as adding pictures.

DEMONSTRATION

We have made a new view in the WebOrderMobile Example.
When you want to implement the WebFileUploadButton, you can drag it from the class palette or code it yourself.
As you can see, the "OnFileUpload" function is automatically generated.
Keep in mind that you need to register the upload folder.
By default, the "Uploads" folder in the "Data" directory is registered, but if you want to use a different folder, you need to register it.
Now, let's look at the button. As you can see, there is now a button in the view.
If we click it, you'll notice that the file explorer opens.
You can select any file you want, and it will be uploaded to the "Upload" directory.
