CodeUnit 412, Common Dialog Management

jsnayberk

The above CodeUnit gives acces to the OCX Microsoft Common Dialog Control, version 6.0.
So far, so good.
Can anybody give me a hint how to get the information out of this OCX which button the user has pressed when closing the dialog, i.e. "Save" or "Cancel"?

Thanks.

If they click Save, then you get a File path & name. If they hit Cancel you get the DefaultName value returned. (No matter what they may input into the filename field.)

CLEAR(dfltName);
//or dlftName := 'whatever-you-want';
Result := cdm.OpenFile([Caption],dfltName,
                       [ (1),Text(2),Excel(3),Word(4),Custom(5)],
                       [Filter],[Open(1),Save(2)]);

IF Result<>dfltName THEN
  //Open or Save
ELSE
  //Cancel

Yeah,

I just tried to find a way without having to deal with this Default File Name, because if the user presses "Cancel", I don´t want to do anything with the Default File Name either. So I expect to recieve an empty File Name when the user presses "Cancel" regardless if there´s a Default File Name set or not set.

But, may be, I think to complicated.

The example I posted sets the defaultname variable to '' using CLEAR(). So if they click cancel you will get a resultant of ''.
