PowerBuilder DW SaveAs Cancel

[#1]

Hello,

I am using PB 12.5.

How do I know that a user selected Cancel in PB SaveAs dialog? li_ret = dw_1.SaveAs()

Powerbuilder returns -1 if the user cancels the SaveAs dialog. But it also returns -1 if the save fails because of other reasons.

So the only way to know that user cancels the dialog is to show your own SaveAs dialog as Roland suggested.

Thanks Rene.

I think Appeon should update this return code - maybe return 0 if user cancels.

You could use GetFileSaveName instead and then pass the returned 'pathname' to the SaveAs with a hard coded SaveAsType.

Thanks Roland. But I do not know what the user wants to save as.
