[Openroad-users] File Popup method for saving files

[Bloomfield, Martin (PSD)]

Bodo, Gary,

 

Thanks for the replies.  I had not seen the "operation" parameter!  I
tend to refer to my old printed manuals, which do not include it (I
don't like .pdf manuals).

Just set the "operation" parameter of the FilePopup() method to
FUP_SAVE. 

>From the Language Reference Manual (ProcExec class, FilePopup method):

The optional operation parameter is either FOP_OPEN or FOP_SAVE.
This parameter determines whether the selection box has a Save button or
an Open button.
If you do not specify the operation parameter, the file selection box
will have an Open button.

Subject:        File Popup method for saving files 

In an application I am creating, users need to be able to do a mail
merge.  Normally I could do this automatically, but they need the
ability to change some of the merge information.  Therefore I am
creating the data file for them.  Currently, I use the
CurFrame.FilePopup method (with a pre-populated filename) to ask them
for the location and name of the file to save.  I then pass this value
to the WriteToFile method of my stringobject.

The problem I have is that the FilePopup method displays a dialog with a
button labelled "Open".  I have set the title to "Save data file as...",
but would like to change the button label to "Save".  Does anyone know
if this is possible, or have an alternative way of getting a File Save
dialog that just returns the filename (or can be used on a StringObject
to save the file directly)?

We are using OpenROAD 4.1 (SP2) on Ingres/Net 2.6 under Windows XP. 

Many thanks, 
Martin Bloomfield.
