GetSaveFileName
 

Hello everyone,

I am using the API GetSaveFileName and all seems to be fine except for when
I press escape to cancel the dialog. I recieve a message that code
processing has been interrupted and asked if I would like to debug or
cancel.

Anyone have any ideas what I can do to get around that?

I am using the code from
http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?cod...avedlghook.htm

Public Function ShowSave(Title As String, InitialPath As String,
InitialFilename As String) As String

Dim sFilters As String
Dim pos As Long
Dim buff As String
Dim sLongname As String
Dim sShortname As String

'if first time through set the appropriate OFN size
If OSV_VERSION_LENGTH = 0 Then Call SetOSVersion

'filters for the dialog
sFilters = "Excel Files" & vbNullChar & "*.XLS" & vbNullChar & vbNullChar

DialogCaption = Title

With OFN

.nStructSize = OSV_VERSION_LENGTH
.hwndOwner = 0
.sFilter = sFilters
.nFilterIndex = 2
.sFile = InitialFilename & Space$(1024) & vbNullChar & vbNullChar
.nMaxFile = Len(.sFile)
.sDefFileExt = "xls" & vbNullChar & vbNullChar
.sFileTitle = vbNullChar & Space$(512) & vbNullChar & vbNullChar
.nMaxTitle = Len(OFN.sFileTitle)
.sInitialDir = InitialPath & vbNullChar & vbNullChar
.sDialogTitle = "Blah Blah Blah"
.flags = OFS_FILE_SAVE_FLAGS Or _
OFN_ENABLESIZING Or _
OFN_ENABLEHOOK
.fnHook = FARPROC(AddressOf OFNHookProc)

End With

'call the API
If GetSaveFileName(OFN) Then
buff = Trim$(Left$(OFN.sFile, Len(OFN.sFile) - 2))
ShowSave = Trim(buff)
End If

End Function

This is using callback code that as far as I can ascertain, is simply used
to enable positioning of the window. Why don't you just use Excel's built-in
GetSaveAsFilename method?

Because that would have been better. Seriously, I didn't know about it.

I just put it in place and the code is happier now.

Thanks
