wxfile name dialog

Post by Emerald2240 »

Hi I'm a beginner in wxwidgets/wxsmith programming,
Thanks to this Awesome forum I was able to create my very first texteditor... My question is how can I be able to edit the filename before it's saved. I tried using the filedialog save property but it jus shows, I input a name and it displays an error.
Please can I get an example of how my user can input the desired file name and directory he so wishes
Here'sand example of how I save hopefully it can be edited and fit in

void textFrame::OnButton3Click(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
Wxstring s(TextCtrl1->GetValue());
Wxfile f("c:\\Fileone.txt",wxFile::write);
f.Write(s);
f.Close();
TextCtrl1->SetValue("Your file's Been saved Successfully")
}

What kind of error did you get? Can you post full code for reproducing?

Though, there is enough material with examples of using wxFileDialog you can just copy-paste code from there and fit it for your needs.

Documentation - wxFileDialog Class Reference
wxWiki - Writing Your First Application-Common Dialogs

Great. Do you understand each line of the code? Which part is need to be updated?
