Save

[Alvo von Cossel I]

hi,

you can create a file with the savefiledialog. once you have done that and
edit the file in the text editior that i wrote you cannot save the file, you
can only create a new file or replace the old one.

how do i save it again?

From the sounds of it, your only method of saving involves using a
SaveFileDialog to specify where to save when you do so... one way to improve
on this might be to have a SaveFile function into which you pass only the
filename and path that you want to save to.

With this, you might want to have two save buttons/menus, ‘Save’ and ‘Save
As’. When a user selects the Save menu, if you have not saved before, it
stores the filename to a variable and calls the SaveFile function mentioned
above. Later, when the user uses Save again, it sees that the variable
containing the filename has a string in it, so it does not display the
SaveFileDialog, but instead simply saves the file.

‘Save As’ would work similar what I just mentioned, only it would always
prompt for a filename.
