Forms.OpenFileDialog instead of wdDialogFileOpen

[Fruber Malcome]

I'd like to use the OpenFileDialog and the SaveFileDialog instead of the
word versions for reasons of better filter support, handling the filename
etc.

My problem is that they don't show up on top of office when they appear -
but the word versions do - what can I do to give them top focus? (not custom
dialogs, but the Forms.Dialog.

Another question, if I'm stuck using the word versions - how do I get the
name of the file that they chose to use for saving? (the dlg.name?)

Any help would be appreciated.
thanks - Fruber.

Hi Fruber,

Another question, if I'm stuck using the word versions - how do I get the
name of the file that they chose to use for saving? (the dlg.name?)

With Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
If .Show <> 0 Then
strFileName = .Name
End If
End with

How about the SaveFileAs dialog? - It seems that just changing the name to
something like *.x isn't enough..

I'm thinking, since we have more control over custom forms in C#, that it's
better to build a form wrapper on the .NET Open / Save File dialogs and then
they would appear on top of word.
