Alternative to common dialog / save as?
in [Visual Basic]
|
From: John Smith on 11 Jun 2010 22:17 I'm using a skinning component which causes the default showSave dialog to appear misaligned and discolored (nothing I can do other than to stop working with the component). Is there a different way to show a standard "save as" dialog box? Maybe something without the search bar etc.? Thank you

However, my guess would be that regardless of any method you use to show the built-in common dialog, you'll have the same problem. You'll probably need to roll your own dialog box for this in order for it to use the skin. -- Mike

If I'm able drag a control or something onto a form I won't have the same issue I'm having with Common Dialog (my skinning component works fine with regular forms). I guess I will look around for an alternative control. Thank you

I wonder if it's possible to create a simple 'save as' dialog like this one: http://imgur.com/O6JZf.jpg
