how to monitor keyboard combination key events? such as Ctrl+S

[zj]

Hi,
The requirement is to monitor the Ctrl+S event, then Overwrite the dialog of selection file and give the default path and filename.

How to solve this?
Thanks!

Hi,

To obtain the Save File dialog that is opened when the users try to save a file, you will need to customize the command that opens it. In the CommandExecuting event of RadRichTextBox, you can check whether the current command is SaveCommand and rewrite it so you can modify the properties of the dialog. Following is an example implementation of this approach:

private void RadRichTextBox_CommandExecuting(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Documents.RichTextBoxCommands.CommandExecutingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Command is SaveCommand)
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
        SaveFileDialog saveDialog = new SaveFileDialog();
        saveDialog.InitialDirectory = @"D:\TestDocuments";
        var formatProviders = DocumentFormatProvidersManager.FormatProviders.Where(fp => fp.CanExport);
        saveDialog.Filter = string.Join("|", formatProviders.Select(fp => GetFilter(fp)).ToArray()) + "|All Files|*.*";


        bool? dialogResult = saveDialog.ShowDialog();
        if (dialogResult == true)
        {
            var extension = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(saveDialog.SafeFileName);
            var output = saveDialog.OpenFile();
            IDocumentFormatProvider provider = DocumentFormatProvidersManager.GetProviderByExtension(extension);

            using (output)
            {
                provider.Export(this.radRichTextBox.Document, output);
            }
        }
    }
}

public static string GetFilter(IDocumentFormatProvider formatProvider)
{
    return
        formatProvider.FilesDescription +
        " (" +
        string.Join(", ", formatProvider.SupportedExtensions.Select(ext => "*" + ext).ToArray()) +
        ")|" +
        string.Join(";", formatProvider.SupportedExtensions.Select(ext => "*" + ext).ToArray());
}

I have just logged a task to expose an API that would allow achieving similar customizations easily. You can vote for the task and subscribe to track its status using the related public item on our feedback portal.

Hope this is helpful.
