How do you get it to return the filename with the extension. In sfn.pl it
added the filters *.txt and *.pl. Is there a way to get that filter so
that if I type the name of the file and select the .txt filter I'll have
"filename.txt"? It would be nice to think that users will type the
extension, but they don't.
Thanks,
Joe

Subject: RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Save file window
>From GUI.xs, here is the definition:
# (@)METHOD:GetSaveFileName(%OPTIONS)
# Allowed %OPTIONS are:
# -owner => WINDOW
# [TBD]
# -title => STRING
# the title for the dialog
# -directory => STRING
# specifies the initial directory
# -file => STRING
# specifies a name that will appear on the dialog's edit field
# -filter => ARRAY REFERENCE
# [TBD]
Here is an example from sfn.pl ( included example in the source
distribution)
Add "-directory => something" to the sub arg to start in a particular
folder
I have never used the -owner flag, so I have no idea what it does.
<CODE>
use Win32::GUI;
$file = "\0" . " " x 256;
$ret = GUI::GetSaveFileName(
-title => "Win32::GUI::GetSaveFileName test",
-file => "\0" . " " x 256,
-filter => [
"Text documents (*.txt)" => "*.txt",
"Perl stuff (*.pl, *.pm)" => "*.pl;*.pm",
"All files", "*.*",
],
);
if($ret) {
print "GetSaveFileName returned: '$ret'\n";
} else {
if(GUI::CommDlgExtendedError()) {
print "ERROR. CommDlgExtendedError is: ",
GUI::CommDlgExtendedError(), "\n";
} else {
print "You cancelled.\n";
}
}
</CODE>
Basically, if $ret is defined, it is the full path to the file you want
to save. You can then perfom open, pipe, pass to constructors which take
a filename, etc. Also, for the Openfile, you may want to play with the
Win32::GUI::BrowseForFolder function AND look back on the list several
weeks for Win32::FileOp reference. It includes a better Openfilename
function in that you can specify a flag to open multiple file names
amoung other options not available(currently) in the
Win32::GUI::GetOpenFileName function.
