Symptoms
When you use Liquid UI to open a dialog window with certain Windows OS[19042.1083, 19042.1165] to select a file, you receive Javascript runtime error related to insufficient memory.
"CommonDialog: The common dialog function failed during initialization. This error often occurs when insufficient memory is available".
This article provides work around to the issue.
Resolution/Work around(a classic select file window shows up):
Change the flags as specified below in getFilesToUpload() function:
function getFilesToUpload(szPrompt)
{
if(szPrompt==void 0) szPrompt = 'Select File';
var dialog = new ActiveXObject('MsComDlg.CommonDialog');
dialog.Filter='All Files(*.*)|*.*';
dialog.MaxFileSize=32767;
dialog.DialogTitle=szPrompt;
//dialog.Flags=0x200|0x80000|0x800|0x4|0x200000; // FAILS because of 0x80000
dialog.Flags=0x200|0x800|0x4|0x200000; // WORKS, but fails if there is no 0x200
dialog.ShowOpen();
//var ret = dialog.FileTitle;
var ret = dialog.FileName;
dialog = void 0;
return ret;
}
Findings 1: dialog.Flags=0x200|0x80000|0x800|0x4|0x200000; // FAILS because of 0x80000
Findings 2: dialog.Flags=0x200|0x80000|0x800|0x4|0x200000; // WORKS if high contrast mode of windows is turned on, Search for high contrast using windows search at bottom of the screen, and 'Turn on high contrast'
Findings 3: dialog.Flags=0x200|0x800|0x4|0x200000; // WORKS
Findings 4: dialog.Flags=0x800|0x4|0x200000; // Fails if there is no 0x200
