Procedure CaseDialogSelectForSave(url, contentType)

CaseDialogSelectForSave

The procedure CaseDialogSelectForSave shows the case file selection dialog box. This dialog box allows the user to select an existing or a new case file. If the selected file already exists, an overwrite confirmation dialog box is displayed. The procedure only results in the url of the selected case file, it does not actually create the file or replace the existing contents. If the predefined set AllCaseFileContentTypes contains multiple elements, then the dialog box also allows the user to select the specific contents that he wants to save.
