Hello,

I have some problems with the "SaveFileDlg".
The dialogwindow appears and I can choose a savepath and -name. But there is no file created, but a link-up in my "recent"-folder.

How can I save a regular file?

Thanks a lot

I believe that all the save file dialog does is enable you to get a path and filename from a user. You then have to write the code that saves the file yourself.

Sorry to disappoint!

just to clarify:
Common dialogs allows you to get the path and filename to open/save files and nothing more.
As PTFlea suggest, you have to write the code to save data to a file by yourself.
You see, Common dialog is not smart enought to know which type of file you want to save and what it would contents or how to open it and where to display the contents of the file.
