UploadCtl Control

Applies to: SharePoint Foundation 2010

An ActiveX control that enables multiple documents to be uploaded to a document library on a site in Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.

Remarks

This control is defined in the STSUPLD.dll file, a dynamic-link library (DLL) that is installed on the client computer in the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ directory during Microsoft Office 2010 Setup.

To instantiate this control, use the following function in ECMAScript (JavaScript, JScript):

var obj = new ActiveXObject('STSUpld.UploadCtl');

In Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), use the following to instantiate the control:

Set obj = CreateObject('STSUpld.UploadCtl')

In both cases, the argument is the programmatic identifier (ProgId) of the control, STSUpld.UploadCtl. For more information, see <ProgID> Key.

In SharePoint Foundation, when a user clicks Add document, the form for uploading documents, Upload.aspx, appears. If the user then clicks Upload Multiple Files, an <OBJECT> tag for the control is created on the page as follows:

<object id='idUploadCtl'
        name='idUploadCtl' 
        classid='CLSID:07B06095-5687-4d13-9E32-12B4259C9813' 
        width='638px' 
        height='261px'>
</object>

Note

The CLSID that is used in this tag is the GUID that uniquely identifies the ActiveX control that is installed with Office 2010. To implement a custom control for uploading documents, specify a different GUID.
