DOC: PUTFILE() Help Topic Says DialogCaption Is at the Top

Article ID: 138457

APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro 3.0 Standard Edition
  • Microsoft FoxPro 2.6a Professional Edition for Macintosh



This article was previously published under Q138457

SUMMARY

The Help topic for PUTFILE() describes the parameters that the function can accept. The Help topic describes the first parameter, cDialogCaption, with the following text:

Specifies the caption displayed at the top of the Save As dialog box.


If Visual FoxPro is running under an operating system such as Windows 95 or Windows NT that uses Comdlg32.dll, the description (physical location) of the Dialog Caption is incorrect.

This documentation error has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

When PUTFILE() calls Comdlg32.dll, the physical location of the string affected by the first parameter in PUTFILE() is not at the top of the dialog box produced by Comdlg32.dll as it is in Windows version 3.x and as it is described in the Help file. Instead, it is in the lower-left corner of the dialog box produced by Comdlg32.dll and by default contains a "File name:" string.
