Save as.. and open

antonio343

Hi, I'd like to make the button save as.. and load, but I think that maybe this button is made in visual as activeX or something like that. Do you know if it is made already?

Where do you want to put a button save-as or load ? dialog ? menu ? toolbar ? And, adding a button for the save-as and load will not actually do all the code ... just sayin' M.

Watched code never compiles.

Just add them to your toolbar, and then add the code handlers for both items as required.

I'd like to add this button in a dialog. But I dnt know where are these button or if its ones is already made

If you're talking about using the Windows common dialog for "Save As..." or "File Open" then look at CFileDialog[^] if you're using MFC or the Common Items Dialog[^] when using just the WinAPI.

Albert Holguin

You have to make the button yourself (just use a button control), then within the event handler of the button press, add the code you need for prompting the user for file names (see my solution[^]).

Yes Im using mfc, then I must look CFileDialog?

Albert Holguin

Yes... you can still use the WinAPI directly, but using MFC classes is generally easier.

Oy vey, you want to know how it is made already! :) Anyway, jewish language jokes aside, you add buttons to your dialog though the UI editor in MFC, bring up the toolbar, drag and drop a button where you want it, give it a meaningfull ID, add a handler, add the code. If that is too much, do a basic tutorial in MFC.

============================== Nothing to say.

What do you mean "already made"? If you are creating an application then you should know that all toolbar or dialog buttons have to be added to the project by you. In both cases the Visual Studio Framework does most of the hard work for you; all you have to do is use the designer to drag items to the right place.

I remember this user from before stating he was just starting to learn to use MFC plus he's not a native English speaker... So, we need to be patient with the new ones... :)

I'm sorry, I didn't understand very well what you said. What do you mean? I have a button in a dialog, which I'd like to be the open botton (Load). I know that in the toolbar there are this button but they haven't code only BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CAdestApp, CWinAppEx) ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_OPEN, &CWinAppEx::OnFileOpen) ..

Could you show me how to use to load/save file with CFileDialog?? I dont find some example

Gotta learn the joy of Google / Bing. Simple search for CFileDialog(), 2nd returned result was a tutorial. CFileDialog()[^] You'd find it a lot faster yourself rather than wait around for somebody to post an answer.

So add a handler. In the dialog editor double click the button, this will present you with a class::name() combo, normally you can accept it, but yiou can change the name if you like. CLick OK, then the code will be created for you (empty code, consisting of just the name and perhaps a return). You then add the code you like to this handler to get it to do something interesting.

I'm triying to do this:

void CDlgResultados::SaveToFile(void)
{
this->UpdateData();

CFile f;

CString strFilter =\_T("\*.txt");

CFileDialog FileDlg(FALSE, \_T(".txt"), NULL, 0, strFilter);

if( FileDlg.DoModal() == IDOK )
{
f.Open(FileDlg.GetFileName(), CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite);
	CArchive ar(&f, CArchive::store);

	ar << cadena;
	ar.Close();
}
else
	return;

f.Close();

}

Everything run well, but it function save the file in the folder of my project and not when I want. what happen?

GetFileName() only returns the file name portion. GetPathName() returns the whole file specification. See the docs at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5b9c3c1f(v=VS.80).aspx[^]

Ok, thank you very much Everything run right
