How to control file extension before save as

[Kumar Pandey]

We have developed a stencil and template file for custom drawing.

When a user opens a new document using that template and does the first
save, save as dialog
opens . I want to capture this event so that I can update the file name in
the text field to say
Drawing1.vdx ( we want the user to save it as .vdx).

How do I go about doing this? I handle
Visio.Application.BeforeDocumentSaveAs but this
gets invoked only after the save as dialog box is displayed.

Visio.Application.DocumentSavedAs(ByVal doc As IVDocument) gives me access
to the doc. However
doc.Name is a readonly field.

Basic requiremtent is to default the file extension to .vdx when a user
tries to save a new document as oppose to
the .vsd visio defaults to.

You might consider that rather than using the visio saveas dialog consider
using the common dialog instead which has more granularity and see if that
meets your needs.

I can trap BeforeModal at application level whihc is triggered before the
modal dialog comes up. How do I open a common dialog here and make sure that
other
one doesn't open.

Thanks

theApp.Settings.DefaultSaveFormat = visDefaultSaveCurrentXML

solves the problem.
