Hi,
Try something on the lines of...
def fileDialog(op,dir,ext,window)
ftypes = [
["Currently", ext],
["Text files", '*txt'],
["Midi files", '*mid'],
["Backup files", '*~'],
["All files", '*']
]
if op == 'open'
fname = Tk.getOpenFile('filetypes'=> ftypes, 'parent'=> window,
'initialdir' => dir
)
else
fname = Tk.getSaveFile('filetypes' => ftypes,'parent'=> window,
'initialdir' => dir,
'initialfile' => Composer.new.title,
'defaultextension' => ext
)
end
return fname
Call similar this
file_box = TkFrame.new
dir - directory
ext = file extension required
ftmp = fileDialog('open', dir, ext, file_box)
ftmp is your returned filename
Its from a working application,
Hope this is helpful.
