PdcApplication.SaveFileDialog

Declaration

SaveFileDialog(InitialDirectory As String, FileMask As String, FileName As String) as String

Description

Open a file browser dialog via Bemet to select a location and filename to save as. This will return the full path of the selected file as a String. If this form is canceled without selecting a file, an empty string will be returned.

Parameters

InitialDirectory : the initial directory where the file browser is opened. If this is empty, or the directory cannot be found, it will open at the root level.
FileMask : A pattern that used to filter the files that are shown and can be selected. If this is empty the default '*.*' is used.
FileName: The pre-entered filename to save as. This can still be changed by the user in the dialog.

Notes

This method is only available in the EciCloud!!
When used in an on-prem version of Bemet, it will return an empty string, and write an error to LastErrorString.

Dim Result As String = PDC.App.SaveFileDialog(tbInitialDirectory.Text, tbFileMask.Text, tbFileName.Text)
