gopal,

Did you try setting the Filter property? You should be able to do this:

fileDialog.Filt er = "Word files (*.doc)|*.doc";

Hope this helps.

Yes i tried but the problem is in the FileName Combo Box, i see the
files displayed with full path

namely

c:\documents and settings\test.d oc
c:\project\test .doc
c:\project\test 1.doc

what i need is just the file names be listed without the fullpath

gopal,

I think this is the way the Windows common dialog works. I doubt it you can
change that.

Hi,

I am not able to attach the issue as image. the problem goes something
like

In the SaveFileDialog window, below we have two combo boxes

1.FileName - which lists all the files with specified extension given
by us
2.Save as Type - which displays type of file extension namely *.txt

1. FileName combo box - shows the complete path of the files namely

C:\Test1\abc.do c
C:\Test1\abc2.d oc

What i want is FileName comboBox should only display file names namely
abc.doc
abc2.doc

If you set the DereferenceLink s Property to false you will not get a list of
files when you open the upper dropdown, but I don't think that was exactly what
you were looking for.

Here is the code:

private void button1_Click(o bject sender, EventArgs e)
{
SaveFileDialog sfd = new SaveFileDialog( );
sfd.Dereference Links = false;
sfd.ShowDialog( );
}
Good luck with your project,

Sorry I couldn't help, but there may be another way to do this. You could use
your own dialog box for this made from list boxes and drop downs. You would the
FileInfo object to get the file names from the folder the user is in. However
that would be quite a bit of work.

Retrieve the selected folder and entered file name from SaveFileDialog

by: Allen | last post by:

Is there any way to just retrieve the selected folder and entered file name form the SaveFiledialog?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11
