How to capture Cancel from utils.SaveFileWindow?

[goodweather]

Hi,
is it possible to capture the click on Cancel button when using utils.saveFileWindow and when the filename is already known (name of the file that was loaded)?

if Pro2PackedBankData:getSize() == 116622 then
	f = utils.saveFileWindow ("Save Pro 2 bank dump sysex file", File(sFullPath), "*.syx", true)
	f:create()
	f:replaceWithData(Pro2PackedBankData)

With the above code, as the filename is predefined, the file is created whatever button is pressed.
Testing f==nil seems not working.
Any clue?

Thx in advance!

I just copied this from Carl Licroys panel. It won’t save the file when hit cancel. It does a few checks, don’t know which is relevant for the cancel button:

	fileToWrite=utils.saveFileWindow("Save patch to disk",File(suggestPatchNameFolder),"*.syx",true)

	if fileToWrite:isValid()==false then return end

	-- Check if the file exists
	if fileToWrite:existsAsFile()==false then
		
		-- If file does not exist, then create it
		if fileToWrite:create()==false then

			-- If file cannot be created, then fail here
			utils.warnWindow("\n\nSorry, the Editor failed to\nsave the patch to disk!", "The file does not exist.")

			return
		end
	end

	if dataToWrite:getSize()<=0 then
		utils.warnWindow("Data to write", "There is no data to write, we'll default to \"f0 00 f7\"")
		dataToWrite=MemoryBlock("f0 00 f7")
	end

	-- If we reached this point, we have a valid file we can try to write to disk
	if fileToWrite:replaceWithData (dataToWrite)==false then
		utils.warnWindow ("File write", "Sorry, the Editor failed to\nwrite the data to file!")
	end

Thx Poss. Unfortunately by reading the code I can see it won’t help as I’m opening the dialog window with already an existing filename…
So: the file is valid and existing and will be overwritten…
