How to know which filter was selected in a SaveasDialog?
|
|
| ventas@logicatropical.com 2006-08-23, 6:55 pm |
| I'd like to know which filter was selected when the user pressed the
save buttom in a SaveasDialog. If the user doesn't write the extension
then the filename doesn't have the extension even if there is other
filter selected than the default.
Is it posible to know what filter was selected?
Thank you very much,
Juan

If it's your app - what did you assign before showing the dialog??
If it's your app - what format will you be (normally) saving it in (text, excel,
word, rtf, etc...)??
- ie if they just select Save instead of SaveAs.
If it's a clipper app - do you have the source to the dialog??
If so you could add the relevant code to give you that info??

| Hi Steve
Thank you for your answer.
The app is written in CAVO 2.5
I'm using a SaveAs Dialog and I'm seting 2 filters: ".pry" and ".pyt"
If the user select an existing file is ok because the Dialog writes the
full name with its extension. Also it is ok if the user writes the
extension.
The problem is when the user writes a name without an extension because
the dialog doesn't append the extension that correspond to the filter
the user has selected.
I wonder if there is a way to know which filter was selected when the
user pressed the save bottom.
Thank you very much,
Juan

What Ross said<g>
You could always write both<bg>.
If your using Fabrices library you could add the functionality you require as
source code for his SFD is available there IIRC.
