OnSave Cancel?

[aaro4130]

Hey! Is there a way to cancel the OnSave method so it doesn't write a null file?

 

Or is there any other way to do this

 

 

Dim SD As New SaveDialog
SD.ShowDialog
If SD.DialogResult = Ok Then
LOG("Save the image")
Else
LOG("Cancelled but writes null file")
LOG("Any way to stop that?")
End if

 

Before OnSave?

 

Here is my save dialog btw

You cannot cancel OnSave(). The user has told Paint.NET to save the image, and it's the plugin's job to either save or die trying. You don't get to cancel for the user.

So where can I put the code to show the dialog instead? So the user can cancel this.

Why are you creating your own Save dialog?

 

This is completely outside the bounds of what's supported/allowed, and you won't be able to publish your plugin here on the forum.

 

The correct way to do this is to use the mechanism that's already provided for doing a Save Configuration UI. You should NOT be showing UI during OnSave, that's just completely backwards.

Could you give me a hand on using the built in UI? I had no clue this type was not allowed. Is there any tutorial around?

Yeah there's nooooooo need to build your own dialog.

 

Either override the virtual method "CreateSaveConfigWidget()", or derive from PropertyBasedFileType. The latter, which uses something called IndirectUI, is a much easier way to create UI for this type of stuff.
