    Hi,

    Is there a way to get the filename of the currently opened document when the Open dialog is used from the ApplicationMenu button group? I want to display current filename in the form caption.

    Also, is there anyway to force RichTextEditor to ONLY use docx files (ideally looking to remove the other buttons from the Application menu).

    Regards,

    Lee.

    Hello Lee,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    1. You can hide the buttons with the following code:
    BackstageViewPage savaAsPage = richTextEditorRibbonBar1.BackstageControl.Controls[0] as BackstageViewPage;
    for (int i  = 1; i  <savaAsPage.Item.Page.Controls[0].Controls.Count; i ++)
    {
        savaAsPage.Item.Page.Controls[0].Controls[i].Visible = false;
    }

    2. You can use the CommandExecuting event and show custom OpenFileDialog. This way you can open only docx files and you can get the file name:
    void radRichTextEditor1_CommandExecuting(object sender, CommandExecutingEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Command is OpenDocumentCommand)
        {
            e.Cancel = true;
            this.radRichTextEditor1.Document = ImportDocx();
        }
    }
    public RadDocument ImportDocx()
    {
        RadDocument document = null;
        IDocumentFormatProvider provider = new DocxFormatProvider();
        OpenFileDialog openDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
        openDialog.Filter = "Documents|*.docx";
        openDialog.Multiselect = false;
        DialogResult dialogResult = openDialog.ShowDialog();
        if (dialogResult == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
        {
            this.Text = openDialog.FileName;
            using (Stream stream = openDialog.OpenFile())
            {
                document = provider.Import(stream);
            }
        }
        
        return document;
    }

    Please let me know if there is something else I can help you with.

    Hi Dimitar,

    Thats' perfect thank you. Also answers another forum post I have where I can now hardcode the folder that the user is able to open files from.

    Thanks for the code sample - not sure I'd ever have been able to find that in the documentation though...

    Regards,

    Lee.
