intercepting the open and save as buttons

[Martin Hamilton]

I'm trying to intercept the Open and Save As Buttons for special handling

I have tried

AddHandler RadPdfViewerNavigator1.CommandBarElement.Rows(0).Strips(0).MouseDown, AddressOf OpenButton_MouseDown

But the addressof sub never gets hit.

Also, when I try to get to the Save As button with the following code; it throws an error.  So, I'm approaching this the wrong way I guess.

AddHandler RadPdfViewerNavigator1.CommandBarElement.Rows(0).Strips(1).MouseDown, AddressOf SaveButton_MouseDown

After searching the forums, I'm not seeing any way to do this (so, I must be missing something).

Can you please tell me how to intercept these buttons?

Hi, Martin,

If you need to plug into the save as logic in RadPdfViewerNavigator and customize the default logic, I would suggest you to create a custom save button and remove the default one:

 private void RadForm1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CommandBarButton btn = new CommandBarButton();
            this.radPdfViewerNavigator1.CommandBarElement.Rows[0].Strips[0].Items.Insert(4,btn);
            btn.SvgImage = this.radPdfViewerNavigator1.SaveButton.SvgImage;
            btn.SvgImage.Size = this.radPdfViewerNavigator1.SaveButton.SvgImage.Size;
            btn.Click+=btn_Click; 

           this.radPdfViewerNavigator1.CommandBarElement.Rows[0].Strips[0].Items.Remove(this.radPdfViewerNavigator1.SaveButton);
        }

        private void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            SaveFileDialog savefile = new SaveFileDialog(); 
            savefile.Filter = "PDF files (*.pdf)|*.pdf|All files (*.*)|*.*";

            if (savefile.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                this.radPdfViewer1.PdfViewerElement.SaveDocument(savefile.FileName);
            }
        }

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
