[RESOLVED] SaveFileDialog location in textbox?

[burgergetsbored]

Hey simple question but I don't know much about the savefiledialog component. I know I can bring up the dialog with savefiledialog.showdialog but what I want to do is allow the user to browse to a location to save the file, press okay then that destination be placed in a textbox on the form? Any help? Thanks!

Try this (Amend as Applicable)

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles Button1.Click

    saveFileDialog1.Filter = "JPeg Image|*.jpg"
    saveFileDialog1.Title = "Save an Image File"
    saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()

    ' If the file name is not an empty string open it for saving.
    If saveFileDialog1.Filename <> "" Then
        Textbox1.Text = saveFileDialog1.Filename
    End If
End Sub

Also I have not written the code to save.... That you will have to insert separately...

Sorry not sure why I was using a save file dialog, what I want to do is allow the user to browse to a folder and select that folder and have the path placed in a textbox?

Never mind!! Just changed the .filename to .selectedpath and all works perfectly!! Thanks for your help!

In that case try this...

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles Button1.Click

    Dim FolderBrowserDialog1 As New FolderBrowserDialog
    
    With FolderBrowserDialog1
        .SelectedPath = "c:\"
        .Description = "Select the source directory"
        If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
            Textbox1.Text = (.SelectedPath)
        End If
    End With

End Sub
