cGetFile( cFileMask, cTitle, nDefaultMask, cInitDir, lSave )-> <cFileName>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARAMETER:
<cFileMask> Is a string that contains a default filename, or a list of
possible file types to select:
In this case "Hello.prg" is shown as the default filename:
+--------------------------------------+
| /* Show 'HELLO.C' */ |
| |
| cGetFile( "Hello.prg","Select File") |
| |
+--------------------------------------+
If you want to specify some different types of files, the
following format can be used :
+--------------------------------------+
| /* Select FileTypes */ |
| |
| cDir := "DataBase | *.DBF" + ; |
| "Index | *.CDX" + ; |
| "Bitmap | *.BMP" |
| |
| cGetFile( cDir, "Select File", 2 ) |
+--------------------------------------+
<cTitle> This is the title of the DialogBox. By default the
string "Select a file" is shown.
<nDefaultMask> is an optional numeric value in case that you want to
start the DialogBox with a certain file type selected (if
you are using the multiple file types format). In the
above example, it will be the second mask ( *.CDX )
To request lately what was the file type selected, you
may use the function nGetFileFilter()
<cInitDir> Is the initial directory. This is very handy to start
the file search in a default directory.
<lSave> If this Flag is TRUE ( default is FALSE ), a
SAVEFILENAME dialog box instead of the OPENFILEAME box
is created.
RETURNS:
<cFileName> is a string with the name of the filename selected, or an
empty string if the cancel button or ESC was pressed.
