How can I propose a path, filename and version for user-SaveAs

Summary

How can I propose a path, filename (filetype also) and version to the user-SaveAs

Solution

Create a new C# project and in the form add a vdFramed control and a button. Then use a code like :

    public partial class Form1 : Form

    {

        public Form1()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

        }

        private string GetSaveDlgFilterFormats()

        {

            string filetypes = "";

            filetypes += "VDML (*.vdml)|*.vdml|";

            filetypes += "vdcl (*.vdcl)|*.vdcl|";

            filetypes += "DXF 2004 (*.dxf)|*.dxf|";

            filetypes += "DXF 2000 (*.dxf)|*.dxf|";

            filetypes += "DXF 12 (*.dxf)|*.dxf|";

            filetypes += "|";

            return filetypes;

        }

        public string GetSaveFileNameDlg(ref string version)

        {

            SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog();

            saveFileDialog1.Filter = GetSaveDlgFilterFormats();



            if (version == "") version = vdFramedControl1.BaseControl.ActiveDocument.Version.ToUpper();

            string defaultFileName = vdFramedControl1.BaseControl.ActiveDocument.FileName;

            if (defaultFileName == "") defaultFileName = "VectorDraw"; // use your default name here

            if (defaultFileName != null && defaultFileName != "")

            {

                saveFileDialog1.FileName = VectorDraw.Professional.Utilities.vdGlobals.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(defaultFileName);

                saveFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = VectorDraw.Professional.Utilities.vdGlobals.GetDirectoryName(defaultFileName);

                int FilterIndex = 1;

                if (defaultFileName.EndsWith(".dxf", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))

                {

                    switch (version)

                    {

                        case "DXF2004":

                            FilterIndex = 3;

                            break;

                        case "DXF2000":

                            FilterIndex = 4;

                            break;

                        case "DXF12":

                            FilterIndex = 5;

                            break;

                        default:

                            break;

                    }

                }

                saveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = FilterIndex;

            }



            saveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true;

            DialogResult res = saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog(this);

            Application.DoEvents();

            if (res != DialogResult.OK) return null;

            switch (saveFileDialog1.FilterIndex)

            {

                case 3:

                    version = "DXF2004";

                    break;

                case 4:

                    version = "DXF2000";

                    break;

                case 5:

                    version = "DXF12";

                    break;

                default:

                    break;

            }

            return saveFileDialog1.FileName;

        }



        private void saveas_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {//VDF,VDI,VDCL,VDML does not have versions.

            string version = "DXF12";//propose this version or "DXF2000" or "DXF2004". Change to an empty string so the version of existing document will be selected.

            vdFramedControl1.BaseControl.ActiveDocument.Filename= @"c:\temp\mydrawing.dxf"; // use the proposed path and the proposed name here



            string fname = GetSaveFileNameDlg(ref version); // the filename (including path) that user chose

            if (fname == null) return; // user canceled save.

            vdFramedControl1.BaseControl.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(fname, null, version);

        }

    }
