MappedTextSave Function

Overview

The MappedTextSave function saves a Mapped Text Object to its associated file or to a specified filename.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int = MappedTextSave ( handle hObject, [string filename], [dword flags] );

Parameters

hObject

A handle to a Mapped Text or Edit Object.

filename

An optional string specifying a location to save the data. If not provided, the current filename is employed. To supply a default parameter, use an empty string.

flags

An optional dword containing flags to adjust the save process. See Remarks below for a definition of flags. If omitted, the values follow the application settings as defined in the preferences.

Return Value

Returns an int as ERROR_NONE or a formatted error code on failure.

Remarks

The edit changes flag and modified conditions are reset once the Mapped Text Object is saved.

	Definition		Bitwise		Description
	MSF_BAK_FILE_LIMIT		0x0000000F		Limit of Journal Files
	MSF_BAK_FILE_AS_JOURNAL		0x00000100		Perform Backup as Journal Files (name (01).bak)
	MSF_BAK_FILE_HIDDEN		0x00000200		Make Backup Files Hidden
	MSF_NO_BAK_FILE		0x00000400		No Backup File
	MSF_NO_NEWLINES		0x00010000		No 0x0A New Line Codes
	MSF_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES		0x00020000		Write Attributes to File
	MSF_OVERRIDE_READ_ONLY		0x00040000		Override Read-Only Setting
	MSF_NO_FILE_SAVE_NOTIFY		0x00100000		Do Not Notify Application of Change (this only applies to objects associated with one or more windows)

 

By default, save follows simple backup rules so the save function will create a ‘.bak’ file for the associated file. When specifying a filename, backup files are not created. When creating the object using CreateMappedTextFile, backup files will not be created on the first save for the handle.

Line endings are marked as “/r/n”. Setting the MSF_NO_NEWLINES flag results in “/r” line endings. If the application is running in GUI mode, the frame is notified of a file change unless the MSF_NO_FILE_SAVE_NOTIFY flag is set. This allows for the updating tabs and other information.
