SUMMARY

This article describes how to display a save as dialog to the user.

DISCUSSION

A Save As dialog is often presented to allow a user to select a location to save a file to.

1. To display a Save As dialog using AutoPlay Media Studio 5.0:
   
   Create a Dialog.FileBrowse action. Set the FileOpen property to false:
   file=Dialog.FileBrowse(false, "Save As", "c:\\", "All Files (*.*)|*.*|", "", "", false, true);

   Please note that file is a table. In the above example, multiple file select is not allowed. To access the path returned by the FileBrowse action, use file[1] as a variable. This gets the value from the first position of the table.
   
   
2. If you are using the Save As dialog to copy a file from your cd to the user's system, you must use a File.Copy command after the Save As dialog has been displayed:
   File.Copy("c:\\example.exe", file[1], false, false, false, false, nil);
