In order for the latter to work properly, you would have to download and install the now obsoleted Windows Media Encoder 9 if you want to have full functionality, and obviously the runtime for. To make things more interesting and to give you the feel of a real world application, I have used the OpenFileDialog in conjunction with a media viewer based on Lee Brimelow's code, and SaveFileDialog with a media encoder settings window that is merely a redesign of Armoghan Asif's work. Everything is packaged into the WpfCustomFileDialog assembly under the same namespace. NET 4.0 into the class like CustomPlaces will not be available. Since I grabbed all the code from the version 3.5 of the assembly, be advised that some new features introduced by. So, I ended up extracting a few more additional helper types used by my own FileDialog type, the base class for the new OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog. While trying to reverse engineer the OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog, I was forced to go two levels deep to the FileDialog class because these classes override an abstract method called RunFileDialog with a parameter of the OPENFILENAME_I type that is internal to the PresentationFramework assembly only. I used the free Red Gate Reflector to get the relevant code from PresentationFramework.dll and recreate the existing functionality in my own namespace. So, the trick used for their Windows Forms counterparts to extend them cannot be applied for WPF, and I had to go for a very different alternative. Unlike Windows Forms, the WPF OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog work differently, and catching messages or grabbing handles before they display does not work in this scenario. Even with an interop solution available, you might still want a pure WPF solution to avoid using the in order to keep the memory usage low, or just to keep the UI consistency. You can try hosting a Windows Presentation Foundation control in Windows Forms, but interoperability might pose some issues. NET 3.0, this might not be the path you want to pursue. But, if your application is designed to use Windows Presentation Foundation introduced by Microsoft with. If you were using Windows Forms, then probably my previous article Extend OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog the easy way, could be a solution to this issue. I don't know about you, but there are times when I wished that there was a way to add extra functionality to the OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog, but the existing framework stayed in the way of doing it.

Inheriting from the WindowAddOnBase or the ControlAddOnBase Class.
