Examples

Example 1

This script for FileExists checks a flag to see if the user is performing a save (which will automatically overwrite the opened file) or wants to rename the file using Save As. For the Save As case, the script asks the user to confirm overwriting the file:

integer li_answer


// If user asked to Save to same file,

// do not prompt for overwriting

IF ib_saveas = FALSE THEN RETURN 0


li_answer = MessageBox("FileExists", &

   filename + " already exists. Overwrite?", &

      Exclamation!, YesNo!)

   MessageBox("Filename arg", filename)


// Returning a non-zero value cancels save

IF li_answer = 2 THEN RETURN 1
