.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / October 2006SaveFileDialog inside a windows form
I have a windows form that displays another Windows Form, which in turns displays a SaveFileDialog when a certain menu option is selected from the toolbar. When the SaveFileDialog opens, I can't use it. The focus is set to another window, and when I click on the SaveFileDialog, the focus is set for a split second then immediately goes back to some other window. The net result is that the SaveFileDialog is completely unusable because I can never activate the window in order to interact with it. Am I missing something obvious here? I thought all I had to do was create it and call ShowDialog() on it. Thanks Are you using Show() or ShowDialog() to show the 2nd form (that opens the SaveFileDialog)?

I'm not sure if I'll be able to reproduce it anymore, but I'll try later. The major thing I changed that I think could have fixed it was that previously the UI code (including the code that created and displayed the SaveFileDialog) lived inside a DLL, which was being invoked from a host executable. I removed that aspect entirely, and when everything lives inside a single executable it works fine. I can try to reproduce it later with the original exe/dll model. > Can you post some sample code? > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > > > > > > > Thanks Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
