Description
Saves a file with out presenting dialogs
FUNCTION SaveActiveDocument(
filePath :STRING) : LONGINT;
def vs.SaveActiveDocument(filePath): return LONGINT
Parameters
filePath STRING
Remarks
(Orso, 2014.09.20): Introduced by VW 10 (not 2010!), made public for VW 2014. This is predestinated to usage with Applescript, since it's dialog-free. Probably created for that precise usage, since I am not aware of a single command in the main application that could be using it.
It corresponds to "save as" but without dialog. Saving on the same file path name doesn't work (returns -1), only if the file path is different (returns 0).
Example
PROCEDURE Test; VAR temp_l : LONGINT; BEGIN { save the current file in the application folder } temp_l := SaveActiveDocument(concat(getFolderPath(1), 'try.mcd')); END; Run(Test); { orso }
