I'm using the FileSaveAs dialog control to allow the user to select a filename to save a file either as a doc file, an rtf file or a pdf file (that part was easy).However, after a bit of testing, it seems that the file extension doesn't automatically change when selecting the different file types.If the filename in the dialog is Foo.doc and I select FileType *.pdf and click "Save", my app still tries to save the file as a doc type.Virtually every other MS app automatically changes the extension to match a selected file type from the Office Suite to Paint. here's my code:
Dim dlg As New SaveFileDialog
dlg.InitialDirectory = m_sReportFolder
dlg.FileName = sProjectName & ".docx"[code]......

I am trying to save multiple text files using a save dialog.
I can save one textbox
SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
Dim File As System.IO.File
Dim Write As System.IO.StreamWriter
Write = File.CreateText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName)
Write.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text)
Write.Close()
but I don't know how to save multiple textboxes and richtext boxes. Would I have to use a screenwriter for this?

I am creating a program that uses XML files and saves them automatically when the user updates information. When I have XElement.Save("Name.xml") it saves the XML file in the same directory as the EXE. What I am trying to do is allow the user so select the location of the XML. Also is loading XML files through the loaddialog box basically the same way as XElement.Load("Name.xml")?

I am wanting to find out how to use the Win32 hooks to allow me to add extra save locations to the save and open dialog box so as to allow as an option for files to be saved directly to a database rather than a file system.I have tried looking online but can't find anything remotely usable for this, the only data on hooks that I can find involves Window operation hooks, mouse, leyboard, and shell hooks, nothing to do with files.

So I have made a text editor using rich text boxes and it is made to save/open rtf files. I have 3 issues I was hoping to get answers for...
1. Can I (and if so how) make it able to open/save text files and rtf files (so the user can choose which way to save it)?
2. I added the ability to color the words, but instead of coloring just the highlighted parts - it colors everything in the file. How do I change that so it only colors selected text?
3. I also added the dialog for Font changes, but it does not seem to work correctly. I want it to change font/size/etc of whatever is selected. Right now when I highlight stuff and then go into Font it allows the dialog box but does not actually change the font size/type/etc in the file it has open.
Here is the code for the above 4 mentioned areas...
Save...
Try
Dim dlg As SaveFileDialog = New SaveFileDialog
dlg.Title = "Save"
dlg.Filter = "Rich Text Files (*.rtf)|*.rtf"

I have a open and file save dialog which I use to open and save file. There are also some labels in the application. During the time a file is open or saved, the file open /save dialog becomes blurred by the background labels. Is there any way to prevent this? The attached pic is given as an example to explain the dilemma.

I'm writing a program that allows users to view certain files using a DataGridView as the selection method I can do most of that just fine. Here's the part I'm having trouble with: I want to open the files using whatever program they have associated with the file extension. After researching it (on these forums), I determined that I should use the Process.Start() method. However, Windows throws an Win32Exception if there is no association to the filetype, and I want it to show the "Open With" dialog instead, and I can't figure out or find how to do that.

I want to develop an application which can Write, Save, Read text files(or html files) What I want the application to do is. When I open my application I can write stuffs and then it will save it to my hosting/server. Then, the application will read the text which I already save.. So far, I can only make the application read it by using WebBrowser control and navigating it to a specified URL. Example: [URL](or message.txt) Which I modified from the website not from the application. I want to modify the text or html files from my application.

the problem is I'm trying to access a file that has no file extension. I think you can see why this is so difficult. The specific file I'm trying to edit is the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts).

I am attempting to write a playlist for my media player which is already built. I have found a way to build a playlist for it but it would be helpful if I could save the contents of TextBox1 to a text file without using the save as. I am trying to get over a user inputting a file name for the finished text file so is it possible to write the file c: est.txt without using the save as dialog? I have found that I can use a vbs program file which creates a playlist in a folder. I save the vbs file text to the textbox then save it as a vbs file in the playlist directory, then execute the finished file to make the playlist.

I am developing a Open/Save dialog that has reduced access to the system (no editting, moving or deleting existing files and folders). I have been succesful at achieving these goals now and I only have one thing left to tackle, but I can't figure it out yet.I want to change the things that are displayed in the top combobox. I want "My Computer" to be the top element and then show specified hard drives beneath it.
I have achieved all my previous goals by using hooks into the default dialogs and I wonder if my last problem could be solved in the same way.
