From: skg on 14 Aug 2006 15:47 Tom. thx. Sorry for not mentioning this is a third party application which is not supporting automation of "Save As". Hence i was trying to find a work around. I am not writing a malaware, there are utilities like "ClickYes" which does the same functionality but on a different dialog. thx.

From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 14 Aug 2006 16:43 Look for .dlg files in the platform SDK documentation. It appears that the button whse code is IDOK is the one you want. joe On Mon, 14 Aug 2006 13:42:43 -0500, "skg" <skg(a)yahoo.com> wrote: >I have an application which pops up file "Save as" dialog.

So, are you saying you want to just save it if they are saving (no dialog), but allow them to move around if doing Save As? I think the framework works like that by default, but you could certainly override the functions and do it from there as well. I guess my confusion (and, of course I don't know the whole story) is it sounds like you are wanting to just click the Save button programatically as soon as someone goes to save. If you are trying to keep people from saving files that wouldn't work since it would just save it (as if they clicked the button), but not give them a chance to put it elsewhere. If you are trying to keep them from saving wouldn't you want to click Cancel instead? Anyway, it doesn't matter if I understand it or not, I was just curious. Hopefully, Joe's advice helped you find the ID you were looking for. Tom "skg" <skg(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:uIsD$p9vGHA.1808(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Tom. thx.
