Hi Fellaws,

I have a requirement to show three buttons in a dialogue box. I have the PDFStream with me and all I need to do is:

1. Click of "Open" button: Show the PDF and give an option to save it.
2. Click of "Save" button: Save the PDF to given path.
2. Click of "Close" button: Close the dialogue.

I am aware Save dialogue/Open dialogue boxes, but am I missing something?
Is there any other approach to this. Please suggest.

Regards,
Pramod V

Make you own dialog that will do what you need?

Like create your own dialogue using window.forms is it?

Well, you didn't specify in which technology you're working with, but yes, since you mentioned dialogs I assumed winforms.

Technology I am using is .NET C#. And yes you are right I am thinking of using System.Windows.Forms..

Will that be recommended?

What do you mean "recommended"? That is what I would do with full control of how it looks and what it does. Open file, Save file etc dialogs are specifically created to handle windows files - if you need one to open file, you use OpenFileDialog, for saving you use SaveFileDialog...I'm not aware there is one that does both. Therefore you need to create it.

If i understand you well, you want to call open/save dialogs via button click. Please, see:
1. Click of "Open" button: Show the PDF and give an option to save it.
OpenFileDialog[^]
How to: Use the Open File Dialog Box[^]

2. Click of "Save" button: Save the PDF to given path.
SaveFileDialog[^]
How to: Save Files Using the SaveFileDialog Component[^]

3. Click of "Close" button: Close the dialogue.
I have no idea what you mean ;( There's nothing like "CloseDialog".
