The Object Inspector will display the properties of the object Button1. Change a property named 'Caption', with the displayed value 'Button1' to 'Save'. Click on the Events tab on the Object Inspector.Select the box to the right of OnClick: a smaller box with three dots (... ellipsis) appears. Click on this, you are taken automatically into the Source Editor and your cursor will be placed in a piece of code starting. Completion code:

<delphi>

procedure TForm1.Button1Click( Sender: TObject );
begin
  if SaveDialog1.Execute then
   Memo1.Lines.SaveToFile( SaveDialog1.Filename );
end;

</delphi>

The Execute method displays the file save dialog. It returns true when user has selected a file, false when user has aborted.

The Filename property returns the full filename including drive and path
