G-Man 0 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'm trying to emulate a save dialog using the open file dialog. I want the user to be able to choose a path/filename to save to. Once I get this information I would want to save to that file. My problem is that I can't get the open file dialog to let the user select a file that doesn't exist. If the file exists already, I can select it and save to it. But, it seems, that there is no way to actually let the user choose a file. I did get a bot that should let me do this (see attachment) from someone - and I can't remember who - I'm sorry. It's supposed to do what I want but I can't get it to work right... Any ideas/help appreciated. G-Mansave file bot.ubot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any ideas/help appreciated. G-Man I tried doing this today as well with no luck, because as you noticed with the "ui open file" box you can't select a directory, you have to select an actual file. I don't see any real way to truly let the user select the save location. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
