Run time menu

[Joe_H]

I am trying to make a run time menu for a user interface using an event structure. I would like to have a file save option that allows the user to bring up the file dialog box then have that information passed to a path control but I do not know how to do that.Kind of like using the path control browse button only in a run time menu

If you look at the shipping example called Menu Selection with Events, you'll see how the event structure can be used to handle a run-time menu. In your case, you could modify the example with a case called "Save" and inside the case have the File Dialog function.

I have looked at that example and based most of my code on that example. but I do not know how to get the dialog function to come up.I know how to do everything else but get that function to come up. Thanks for your help

Thanks for all your help I feel so stupid that it was on the file functions pallette. I was trying to do it so many hard ways and trying to figure them out that i did not even think of it being there. Again thanks for all your help. It's snowing here I'm going home
