Can Application.FileDialog replace a call to GetSaveFileName (Win API)

[Anonym]

Hello,

I use the functions GetOpenFileName and GetSaveFileName from the Windows API, to get filename when opening files or saving files.

I need to adapt these calls of functions, to be compatible with the versions 32 bits and 64 bits of Windows and FlexPro9.

I find out how to use Application.FileDialog to replace GetOpenFileName.

But for GetSaveFileName, it seems that Application.FileDialog doesn’t provide this feature ?

Thanks in advance.

The FlexPro Application.FileDialog can only be used to select existing files (or folders), i.e. entering a non-existing filename results in an error message.

So it is recommended to use the GetOpenFileName / GetSaveFileName methods in general. If the code should be compatible with both 32 and 64 bit VBA one has to cope with the different signatures and data structures used.
