shorten display names of multiple files?

[Steven]

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/async-upload/shorten-display-name.aspx

you guys offered a solution for shortening one filename in the above thread using the OnClientFileSelect event
Is there something that will do the same thing for multiple files?  OnClientFilesSelected

So if a user selects multiple files with long names, I can display

veryveryverylong... [x remove]
anotheryverylong... [x remove]

I tried to get some documentation from http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/asyncupload-onclientfilesselected.html to figure it out but there isn't much info here. Are there other sources of info for these events?

thanks...Steve

Hello Steven,

The OnClientFileSelected event fires once for each file that you upload, even when you upload multiple files at once. So the solution from the forum works regardless of whether you select one or more files.

It does work but I guess I forgot to mention the problem we were having.

All the displayed file names of the uploaded files are being shown with the first shortened file name. But when we click submit, the correct files are uploaded.

So, If i select 5 long files at once,
One_LongLongLongFileName.pdf
Two_LongLongLongFileName.pdf
Thr_LongLongLongFileName.pdf
Fou_LongLongLongFileName.pdf
Fiv_LongLongLongFileName.pdf

when they are listed they are shown as

One_LongLong....   x remove
One_LongLong....   x remove
One_LongLong....   x remove
One_LongLong....   x remove
One_LongLong....   x remove

thanks

Hello Steven,

There was a small mistake in the example. The following line:

var $span = $telerik.$(".ruUploadProgress", sender.get_element());

should be:

var $span = $telerik.$(".ruUploadProgress", args.get_row());

The code in the forum has been fixed, and should now be working correctly.
