Hi my name is Alan,

 

I am creating a form with a save feature which is below,

 

app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");

 

I am wondering is there a way to tell if Save or Cancel is click in the dislog box.

 

As I would like to process the next stage of the form based on either button.

 

Thanks,

 

Alan

Not directly. However, you can know if the file has been saved after the dialog is closed, by checking the "dirty" property. If false, it means the file has been saved (or at least, that it wasn't edited after the last time it was saved). If true, it means it still needs saving (so most likely the user clicked Cancel in the Save As dialog).
