Steema Central

I need to be able to programmatically pick-up the name of the .ten format file created through the Native/Save tab/button in the Chart Editor. That is, I want to use the Native/Save existing feature but to be able in my code (where I create and launch the Editor instance) to handle the saved file name.

        string nameChart;
        private void InitializeChart()
        {
            Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar bar = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar(tChart1.Chart);
            bar.FillSampleValues();
           
        }
        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            saveFileDialog1.Filter = "TenFile (.ten)|*.ten"; 
            saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
            if (saveFileDialog1.FileName != "")
            {
                tChart1.Export.Template.IncludeData = true;
                tChart1.Export.Template.Save(saveFileDialog1.FileName);
                nameChart = saveFileDialog1.FileName;
            }
        }

Also, in case the user forgets to save his work in Editor, I want to be able to propose to save it during the "CloseForm" button event. I've tested the access to this event, that works, but what is the method to execute for saving in native (.ten) format programmatically?

- think about removing from the SaveFileDialog filter the .ten type in this case.
- better, implement in your code a try/catch rather than leaving the .net exception window to pop-up.
