SaveFileDialog Name

[jamie_pattison]

How could i show a SaveDialogBox with the name of the file that the user selected from the OpenFileDialog box (the purpose is to select a file then save it as another extension with the same name)?

Thanks

Hello.

In the Title bar? You'd need to use the API to set the Title...
In the select field, just set SaveFileDialog.FileName before calling ShowDialog.

Did you read the documentation or see the Object Browser? (Ctrl+W, then J)

SaveDialogBox: no such thing

SaveFileDialog class
Inherited from FileDialog class

FileDialog.Title => "Gets or sets the file dialog box title."

Hence

Dim ofd as New OpenFileDialog
ofd.Filter = "*.abc|ABC Files (*.abc)"
ofd.ShowDialog()

Dim folder as String
Dim filename as String
Dim newFilename as String
Dim newfullPath as String

folder = Path.GetDirectoryName(ofd.FileName)
filename = Path.GetFilename(ofd.FileName)
newFilename = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(ofd.FileName) & ".def"
newFullPath = Path.Combine(folder, newFilename)

Dim sfd as New SaveFileDialog
sfd.Title = string.Format("Pick a location to save your new file {0}", newFilename)
sfd.FileName = newFullPath
ofd.Filter = "*.def|DEF Files (*.def)"
sfd.ShowDialog()
