O.P. Save File As Dialog

I've been searching MSDN and Google all day and can't seem to find any JScript examples of a save file as dialog, so just wondering if someone can please post some example code for me...

Thanks,
David.

code:

if (typeof(sTitle) === 'undefined') sTitle = '';
if (typeof(sInitialDir) === 'undefined') sInitialDir = 'C:\\';
var OpenFileName = Interop.Allocate(88);

with (OpenFileName){
WriteDWORD(0, 88); // Dodgy Microsoft, why can't you figure out the size of the struct yourself...
var s_filter = Interop.Allocate(512);

O.P. RE: Save File As Dialog

Thanks a million man, you rock (y)

How do I choose the file to be saved? XD

Edit: Found out myself

Would you possibly be able to edit the filter, I can't get it to work out. I need it for .jpg and .jpeg

Thanks in advance.

RE: Save File As Dialog

Therefore, you need some changes. The s_filter can contain multiple filters and therefore you'll need to write multiple strings into the databloc. Luckily, Choli made a nice function for doing that.

I've edited Matty's code to use WriteMultiStringW and removed the OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST flag because that can't be used on a Save As dialog!

code:
function SaveFileAs(sTitle, sInitialDir){
if (typeof(sTitle) === 'undefined') sTitle = '';
if (typeof(sInitialDir) === 'undefined') sInitialDir = 'C:\\';
var OpenFileName = Interop.Allocate(88);

with (OpenFileName){
WriteDWORD(0, 88); // Dodgy Microsoft, why can't you figure out the size of the struct yourself...
var filter = 'JPEG (*.jpg;*.jpeg)|*.JPEG;*.JPG|All Files (*.*)|*.*||'; // This string will be used to generate an s_filter databloc
var s_filter = Interop.Allocate(512);
WriteMultiStringW(s_filter, filter);
WriteDWORD(12, s_filter.DataPtr);
WriteDWORD(24, 1);
s_file = Interop.Allocate(512);
// s_file.WriteString(0, '*.*');
WriteDWORD(28, s_file.DataPtr);
WriteDWORD(32, 255);
var sTmp = Interop.Allocate((254+1)*2);
WriteDWORD(36, sTmp.DataPtr);
WriteDWORD(40, 255);
var s_initdir = Interop.Allocate((sInitialDir.length+1)*2);
s_initdir.WriteString(0, sInitialDir);
WriteDWORD(44, s_initdir.DataPtr);
s_title = Interop.Allocate((sTitle.length+1)*2);
WriteDWORD(48, s_title.DataPtr);
WriteDWORD(52, 0x800000 /* OFN_ENABLESIZING */ | 0x80000 /* OFN_EXPLORER */ | 0x4 /* OFN_HIDEREADONLY */ | 0x200000 /* OFN_LONGNAMES */ | 0x800 /* OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST */ | 0x1000 /* OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT */);
}
return Interop.Call('comdlg32', 'GetSaveFileNameW', OpenFileName) !== 0 ? s_file.ReadString(0) : false;

function WriteMultiStringW (datablock, string) {
var pos = 0;
datablock.WriteString(0, string);
pos = string.indexOf("|", pos);
while (pos != -1) {
datablock.WriteWORD(2 * pos, 0);
pos = string.indexOf("|", pos + 1);
}
}
}

Mattike you should also give props to Choli for the WriteMultiStringW function as he wrote it.

O.P. RE: Save File As Dialog

Any of you have any idea why this will not work and get the current display pictures file extension?

code:
function SaveFileAs(sTitle, sInitialDir)
{
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var file = fso.GetFile(Messenger.MyDisplayPicture);
var type = file.substr(file.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
if (typeof(sTitle) === 'undefined') sTitle = '';
if (typeof(sInitialDir) === 'undefined') sInitialDir = 'C:\\';
var OpenFileName = Interop.Allocate(88);

with (OpenFileName)
{
WriteDWORD(0, 88);
if (type == "jpg") var filter = "jpg-filter-code";
if (type == "png") var filter = "png-filter-code";
//var filter = 'JPEG (*.jpg;*.jpeg)|*.JPEG;*.JPG|';
var s_filter = Interop.Allocate(512);
WriteMultiStringW(s_filter, filter);
WriteDWORD(12, s_filter.DataPtr);
WriteDWORD(24, 1);
s_file = Interop.Allocate(512);
WriteDWORD(28, s_file.DataPtr);
WriteDWORD(32, 255);
var sTmp = Interop.Allocate((254+1)*2);
WriteDWORD(36, sTmp.DataPtr);
WriteDWORD(40, 255);
var s_initdir = Interop.Allocate((sInitialDir.length+1)*2);
s_initdir.WriteString(0, sInitialDir);
WriteDWORD(44, s_initdir.DataPtr);
s_title = Interop.Allocate((sTitle.length+1)*2);
WriteDWORD(48, s_title.DataPtr);
WriteDWORD(52, 0x800000 /* OFN_ENABLESIZING */ | 0x80000 /* OFN_EXPLORER */ | 0x4 /* OFN_HIDEREADONLY */ | 0x200000 /* OFN_LONGNAMES */ | 0x800 /* OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST */ | 0x1000 /* OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT */);
}
file.Copy(Interop.Call('comdlg32', 'GetSaveFileNameW', OpenFileName) !== 0 ? s_file.ReadString(0) : false);

function WriteMultiStringW(datablock, string)
{
var pos = 0;
datablock.WriteString(0, string);
pos = string.indexOf("|", pos);
while (pos != -1)
{
datablock.WriteWORD(2 * pos, 0);
pos = string.indexOf("|", pos + 1);
}
}
}

Isn't it ALWAYS converted to png?

No, well... I tested and MP!L returns the file as being the same file format as the original image file.

RE: Save File As Dialog

The file is definitly NOT always png. I had problems trying to get the DP showing in my sig image using CreateImageFromPNG. Well, that function fails if your file is a jpg. took me forever to figure out why

I cannot hear you. There is a banana in my ear.

There are different versions of the structure. The size determines which you are using. For example, if the symbol _MAC is defined, the structure will grow by 8 bytes. If you're using windows 2000 or greater it will grow another 12 bytes.
