Quick question.... file object!

[Gibbon]

ok, just woundereing.... what is the correct way retreive the 0file once you have selected it from the selctors (save and open!

So you have opened the selector.. selected your file.. then what?

last action OK? well that is ok but it then acts as an "allways" event.. you could put a "event once on every loop" but then it happens at the begining and no more...

file is readable... well thats ok, if you openeing.. but if your saving?

file is writeable... not quite sure is that used if your overwriting a file?

then the name ones.. which i dont kinda see can be used?

i just find it strnage why there is not a "ok is pressed" or what the eqivilant is in the ones above?

You can put the action within the same event as the "File selector" code.

So condition is "click on button", one of the actions will open up the selector, then you can automatically write the file name to text list box for example... ive a simple example i will upload it in the file section

check out this post from Yves. With his method, you can track if the user hits "Cancel" instead of "Open"...
