Ok VDS old timers

After doing some 3.x work with tabs and getting stuck in the "group" spiderweb once too many times, I decided to do what I knew and finish my little project (jedi knight server launcher) in 2.21, since it was much easier to hide the multitude of radio buttons I was working with..

My problem and question is.. am I missing it or is there not a "save as" or "save" file dialog in vds 2.21? @filedlg always has an "open" button... Im needing a "save" button..

Thx

I think you can use a SAVE parameter on the @filedlg() function.
I'm don't remember off hand where it goes but it should be something like:

Heres what I get outta the help file....
I saw the syntax you're talkin about in 3.x .. Im thinkin this might be all I got to work with.. ;(

Syntax:

@FILEDLG(<file description> {, <title>, <initial filename>})

Description:

This function displays a Windows common file dialog, and returns the name of the file that was selected (or a null string if no file was selected.) The string <file description> contains a filter for the file type to be displayed, for example: *.txt. The string <title> contains an optional title which will be used for the dialog. The string <initial filename> specifies an optional default filename.
Multiple choice filters and descriptions of the file types can be specified if <file description> follows the format:

"<file description 1>|<*.ext1> {|<file description2>|<*.ext2>} ..."
This format must be followed exactly or the description will be ignored. Quotes must surround the entire file description string.

OK:

True if dialog was closed with the OK button, otherwise false.

Example:

%F = @filedlg(*.txt)
%F = @filedlg("Text file (*.txt)|*.txt|Document file (*.doc)|*.doc",Open file)

Sorry . I thought that might have worked. I used to have 2.x but I don't
know where my copy of the program is. I may just have to DL it
again.

Let us know if you find a solution.

Thanks,

_____________________________________________________________
In VDS3, "SAVE" can be used as the 4th parameter to @filedlg()
to create a "SAVE" button.

VDS2 only utilizes 3 parameters, but you can change the
window title with the 2nd one @filedlg(,Save As...). It will
still have the "OPEN" button though.
