This is what I have Done..and this is what is wrong:
What I have done is made a windows form project. On Form2, 3, and 4..I have a Control Tab..and this control Tab is holding Images and text boxes.
What I want to do is implement SAVE into my menustrip through the saveDialog.
I have in my SaveDialog Properties the filters:
(*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*
The code I am using is from a notepad tutorial..which more than likely is the problem LOL...but this is it anyways:
Private Sub SaveToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveToolStripMenuItem.Click
SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(SaveFileDialog1.FileName) Then
Dim ask As MsgBoxResult
ask = MsgBox("File already exists, would you like to replace it?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, "File Exists")
If ask = MsgBoxResult.No Then
SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
ElseIf ask = MsgBoxResult.Yes Then
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, TextBox1.Text, False)
End If
Else
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, TextBox1.Text, False)
End If
End Sub
End Class
I have the feeling that the whole problem with this code is here:
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, TextBox1.Text, False)
I feel this way because for starters, this would work for a notepad as it really only has 1 text box.
My form that I am trying to save has many text boxes. What I want to do is save the whole form in its entirety.
I have Tried changing My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, TextBox1.Text, False)
TO:
(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, frmWeekTwo, False)
and it gives me an error of not being declared..
I have tried many different versions and i Just cant seem to get it!
Does anyone know how to code this to make it save the whole form in the state it is in?
