  Hello,
  
  Sorry, both Save and SaveAs commands use the same code. If you replace the standard Save dialog, it will be used for SaveAs as well. You may add a button in your dialog to allow save to file.
  Normally you should attach an event before running a designer, and detach it after closing the designer. You cannot cath the modified flag.

  I am using FastReport designer with a Custom save dialog.i have couple of issues when i am using custom save event.i am attaching the event on the form load event of report designer form. and detach it when the form is closed.When user click on save button for the first time dialog box is prompt without any issues.and then save button is getting disabled in the tool bar ant the menu.but if user do any changes for the report then the save buttons and the menu will be enable again.
  But if user click on save button again now that attached event is not working.is there a work around for that?

  upgrade your version, or add your custom button and inject to designer form, code to learn the structure :

  I solve it using the following way:

  
  

  designerControl1.MainMenu.miFileSaveAs.Visible = false;

  var buttonSaveAs = designerControl1.MainMenu.CreateMenuItem("save as", new EventHandler(MySaveAs));

  designerControl1.MainMenu.miFile.SubItems.Insert(4, buttonSaveAs);

  
  

  public void MySaveAs(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  using (SaveFileDialog dialog = new SaveFileDialog())

  {

  dialog.Filter = "Report files (*.frx)|*.frx";

  // get default file name from e.FileName

  dialog.FileName = ".frx";

  if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

  {

  designerControl1.Report.Save(dialog.FileName);

  }

  }

  }

  good luck🙂
