HEM_SAVEFILE Question, it returns 0 (FALSE) which means that the save was unsuccessful, but the file itself is saved correctly.

Hi to everybody,

I have a question to the HEM_SAVEFILE message.

Each time I use this message to save a file to disk, it returns 0 (FALSE) which
means that the save was unsuccessful, but the file itself is saved correctly.

It seems that HEM_SAVEFILE always returns 0 (FALSE). So I can't detect if the
save was successful or not.

Could it be a bug ?

Greetings

I think you may be right. I just thought the Error codes were reversed (0=Success, 1=Problem) but I just tried to save a file that I marked as read only and the call returned 0. Not a good thing.

Now I'm now getting different return codes when saving the exact same content to two (2) different files. The save to the first file returns 0. This is the return code I've always received for all file saves regardless of whether the save worked or not. The save to the second file returns 1. I have never received this return code for any reason. Both files were saved successfully and both files contain the exact same value (bit for bit comparison).

I started getting this odd result when testing new code to do a block move on a HiEdit control which uses the following messages: GetSel (2), LineFromChar (2), LineIndex, GetTextRange, LineIndex, LineLength, SetSel (3), and ReplaceSel.

It would be very helpful if the HEM_SAVEFILE message returned a meaningful return code.

Thank you for your consideration.
