I have a requirement in WPF/C# to click on a button, gather some data and then put it in a text file that the user can download to their machine. I can get the first half of
All the examples so far use the Win32 namespace, but there is an alternative:
FileInfo file = new FileInfo("image.jpg");
var dialog = new System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog();
dialog.FileName = file.Name;
dialog.DefaultExt = file.Extension;
dialog.Filter = string.Format("{0} images ({1})|*{1}|All files (*.*)|*.*",
file.Extension.Substring(1).Capitalize(),
file.Extension);
dialog.InitialDirectory = file.DirectoryName;
System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult result = dialog.ShowDialog(this.GetIWin32Window());
if (result == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
{
}
I'm using an extension method to get the IWin32Window
from the visual control:
#region Get Win32 Handle from control
public static System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window GetIWin32Window(this System.Windows.Media.Visual visual)
{
var source = System.Windows.PresentationSource.FromVisual(visual) as System.Windows.Interop.HwndSource;
System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window win = new OldWindow(source.Handle);
return win;
}
private class OldWindow : System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window
{
private readonly System.IntPtr _handle;
public OldWindow(System.IntPtr handle)
{
_handle = handle;
}
System.IntPtr System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window.Handle
{
get { return _handle; }
}
}
#endregion
Capitalize()
is also an extension method, but not worth mentioning as there are plenty of examples of capitalizing the first letter of a string out there.
