[RESOLVED] SaveFileDialog Question

I have 2 filters on my dialog: *.m3u and *.wpl. How do I find out what choice the user made?

You need to check the .FilterIndex property to see which the user choose but they could still have typed in the file with a different acceptable extension.

VB Code:

SaveFileDialog1.FilterIndex

Or just get the right 3 characters returned from the filepath of the dialog...

VB Code:

Dim MyExtension as String
MyExtension = strings.right(ReturnDialogString, 3) 'returns last 3 letters, replace returndialogstring with filepath returned from dialog
Select Case MyExtension
            Case Is = "m3u"
                MsgBox("m3u")
            Case Is = "wpl"
                MsgBox("wpl")
            Case Else
                MsgBox("Not A Supported FileType!")
                Exit Sub
End Select

EDIT*** - uppercase extensions won't work with this code, you have to do myextension = myextension.tolower in order to always make it lowercase in order for it to work, or change your case statements to also evaluate it for the uppercase M3U or WPL

Use IO.Path to manipulate file paths, e.g. IO.Path.GetExtension(mySaveFileDialog.FileName)
