FileSaveDialog() and _WinAPI_GetSaveFileName() get @extended infos

[SBO 1]

Hi guys (and girls),

 

I have to write code that saving for me *.txt or *.dat file to wanted location but here is problem. When I choose a filter from list of file save dialog is never be returned to function as @extended information. It is same problem for two functions listed in topic. Here is the code:

 

Func SaveTo()
;$h_path_filename = _WinAPI_GetSaveFileName("SaveTo", "Textual report (*.txt)|input file (*.dat)|", "", "", "", 1, 0, 0, $MainGui)
$h_path_filename = FileSaveDialog("SaveAs", @DesktopDir, "Textual report (*.txt)|input file (*.dat)|", 16)
If StringInStr($h_path_filename, ".", 0, -1) Then $h_path_filename = StringMid($h_path_filename, 1, StringInStr($h_path_filename, ".", 0, -1) - 1)
MsgBox(00,"",$iFilterIndex)
If $h_path_filename = "" Then
    Return
EndIf
If @extended = "Textual report (*.txt)" Then
    If (GUICtrlRead($InputB[1]) = "") Then
     MsgBox(16, "Error #800", "You can not create report file if main calculation function is not previously executed. Please, set up input data and run calculation function.")
     Return
 EndIf
    $hreport = $h_path_filename&".txt"
    WriteReport()
    FileClose($hreport)
ElseIf @extended = "input file (*.dat)" Then
    $hinput = $h_path_filename&".dat"
    WriteInput()
    Fileclose($hinput)
EndIf
EndFunc

Sorry for I'm not having comments in code but I think the main problem is obvious even without them.

Best regards,

I am not sure how that is a problem. The helpfile doesn't say that either of the functions return anything in @extended.

Also you are reading @extended from MsgBox(), so it wouldn't work anyway (every function resets @error and @extended, so either use it directly or save to a variable for later).

OK, I will certainly try that. Msg box is something that I used to see what function returning to me. Sorry for that, it should not be there. It is only something that I'm using when I'm searching for a problems in my functions. Thanks very much for idea.
