SaveEditor()

Summary

Saves an editor to a file.

 

Syntax

SaveEditor(string editor_name, string filename [, array options])

 

Argument	Contents
editor_name	The name of the editor
filename	The path of the file in which the editor contents are saved

 

Option	Type	Contents
Header Data	Any	A value to store in the file header, including an array

 

Notes

• The options array is an optional argument.

• SaveEditor() does not save the data displayed in the editor. Only the editor settings and the references to the data are saved.

• If the filename is null, SaveEditor() saves the editor in the last file in which the editor was saved.

• While the editor file can have any file name and extension, Maptitude editor files normally have an extension of .DVW.

Example

SaveEditor("Sales Profile", "d:\\sales\\prof95.dvw")

 

// HeaderData variable defined previously

SaveEditor( , "d:\\sales\\profile.dvw", {{"Header Data", HeaderData}})
