C++ saveFileDialog
-
I am making a text editor in C++ and want it to save rtf an txt files. I have made a rich text box called richTextBox1, a toolstrip button called ToolStripButton1 and a save file dialog called saveFileDialog1. I need the save file dialog to save the contents of the rich text box when the tool strip button is clicked. Here is my code so far: private: System::Void toolStripButton11_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { saveFileDialog1->Filter="Text File|*.txt|Rich Text Document|*.rtf|All Files|*.*"; saveFileDialog1->Title="Save As"; this->saveFileDialog1->ShowDialog(); } How do I make the dialog save the contents of the rich text box?

Hi, the saveFileDialog is a dialog, it communicates with the user, it does not save a thing. Your code has to perform the necessary save actions upon the user's choices. So check for the dialog result, and if "OK", save the data yourself to the selected file. :)

You don't; the dialog merely gives the user the opportunity to select the destination file where the data will be saved. Your program then has to write the data into that file in the format relevant to the file type.
It's time for a new signature.

If
ShowDialog()returnsDialogResult.OK, usesaveFileDialog1->FileNameto open file file and write the contents. -

so how do I use the information returned from the dialog to save the file?
The only information you have from the dialog is the file name and destination directory. From this you create the file and write your data to it, the dialog has no further influence on this process.
