Question

SaveFileDialog savefileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog(); DialogResult result  = savefileDialog1.ShowDialog(); switch(result == DialogResult.OK)     case true:         //do something     case false:         MessageBox.Show('are you sure?','',MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,MessageBoxIcon.Question); 

How to show the messagebox over the savedialog box after clicking ‘Cancel’ on the SaveDialog box i.e. the Save Dialog box should be present on the background.

Answer 1

If the reason for needing the message box on Cancel of the File Save dialogue is because you’re shutting things down with unsaved changes, then I suggest putting the call to the File Save dialogue in a loop that keeps going until a flag is set to stop the loop and call the message box if you don’t get OK as the result. For example:

// lead-up code  SaveFileDialog sft = new SaveFileDialog(); BOOL bDone; do {   if (DialogResult.OK == sft.ShowDialog())     bDone = true;   else   {     DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show('Are you sure you don't want to save the changed file?', '', MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question);     bDone = (result == Yes) ? true : false;   } } while (!bDone);  // carry on 

This way, the File Save dialogue behaves consistently with the way it does in other in Windows apps, and you get to let the user have another go at saving the file(s) if he accidentally hits Cancel in the File Save dialogue.
