Need Save/Load Buttons

[Teizhcial]

i'm making a program. I added a menu with a button to save and open files. The thing is i dont know what the code is that i need to add to the save and open buttons. I know it uses a common dialog box, and that i need it to just save the program with all the changes made. I also know i need to add code (for the open button) that will let me open saved files.

saving text to a file.
its something along these lines, this is off the top of my head and i doubt it will work:

Saving:
open [filepath & name] for input as #1
    write #1, "hi"
close #1

Loading:
dim shold as string
open [filepath & name] for output as #1
    shold = lof(input) ' <---  won't work i forget how lof() works
close #1

i might have the input / output commands around the wrong way to, iunno

Sorry I just need them because a friend of mine needs them.

Also he said,

i dont need text saved or anything like that. I need it to save changes made in the program. So lets say someone inserts a variable into one of the text boxes, i need to add a button that will save the program but with the changes added. I also need to add a button that will let me open the saved file once its saved that way i can edit the changes.

Again, don't be lazy. Look for Saving with .ini's. =( Laziness ftl.

Use my favorite functions. Savesetting and getsetting.

What would the code for a savesetting be like?

 

[jdsfighter]

Savesetting

SaveSetting App.EXEName, "Options", "Name_Label", lblName.Caption

Getsetting

lblName.Caption = GetSetting(App.EXEName, "Options", "Name_Label", "")

ugh I'm having problems

 

[meeman666]

yes but when i do that it says object missing. Also is there a way to make it save out of a common dialog box?

noone is going to help you unless you show initiative to help yourself.
now either just the fuck up and die, or click on the fucking search button.

Replace lblName with your control name. Also replace caption to what ever applies to. Ex txtName.text, lblName.forcolor, txtName.Backcolor, etc.
