Saving As Filetype Help

[insomnica]

Hey Guys!

Need a tad bit of help on my simple wordpad, MattPro.
Im a beginner in all of this, but I can grasp the concepts.

Anywho, im using the basic SaveFile:

Private Sub ToolStripButton3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton3.Click
        If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            Dim SW As New IO.StreamWriter(SaveFileDialog1.Filename)
            SW.Write(Textbox1.Text)
            SW.Flush()
            SW.Close()
            FileOpen(1, SaveFileDialog1.Filename, OpenMode.Output)
            Print(1, TextBox1.Text)
            FileClose(1)
        End If
    End Sub

And Id like to know how I can define it to save as a list of preset filetype?

Check documentation for the SaveFileDialog, Filter property.

You can also add this to your saving code:

My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(SaveFileDialog1.Filename, TextBox1.Text, False)

Ive had a look at

saveFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
    saveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2
    saveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = True

But ive had no luck in getting it to display in the Save As Filetype box.

Unless you have a good reason to do this in code use the visual designer to set these properties.
