BrewManNH Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 What does the final 3 represent? Because I don't see that documented in the help file as a valid parameter value for the function. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

czardas Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) I used a recursive function to run the FileSaveDialog again, first prompting the user to enter a valid file extension. The message box I use has Abort, Retry and Ignore options. Abort doesn't save the file, Ignore saves the file without an extension and Retry returns the user to the FileSaveDialog with the same data in the name field. This idea may not be suitable for your purposes. It's just a hack with fairly limited application.

Developers Jos Posted January 27, 2013 Developers Share Posted January 27, 2013 This has been done for the equivalent dialog in SciTE but Jos is off skiing at the moment.Had a look at the AutoIt3 source and see that the lpstrDefExt option isn't set for the FileDialog, similar to the original SciTE source, which means that the returned name is as-is.The returned filename would have the default filter extension in case it is set to a space.So this requires script logic like some of the examples here to get the same accomplished.Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.
