    save as dialog

    does anyone know how I could make a "save as" dialog box so they could choose the location filename and format from the list?

    There is the common dialog 'Save As' (you must have seen it). You can call it in the program and it will handle most of the save file functions.

    Look for 'GetSaveFileName' in the help.

    you can also use the CFileDialog and call it's do modal function...




    Code:
    	char szFilter[] = "Text (*.txt)|*.txt||"; 
    
    	CFileDialog dlgFile( FALSE,  // 
    		         "*.mdb", 
    				 strSource,  //DEFAULT SOURCE
    				 OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT,
    				 szFilter);
    
    
    
    
    
    if( dlg.DoModal( ) == IDOK )
    {
        MySaveFileFunction( dlg.GetPathName() );
    }
