File Dialog

A file dialog is a window that allows you to enter (or select) a file for loading or save.

A file dialog is used by :

result$ = DDgui_FileDialog$(open% [, filter$])

open% denotes whether you have opened the dialog window for read (open% = TRUE) or writing (open% = FALSE)

filter$ is an extension which filters any file list to those that have the given extension, if given.

If filter$ is not present, then all files will be listed.

If open% = FALSE, then a given filename will have the extension stored in filter$ appended to it (if present).  If filter$ is not present, then no extension will be added

This function returns the filename selected or entered.

Notes :

• If the file dialog is set for writing, then an empty file with the given filename will be created in the current working directory.

A file dialog window looks like :
