Remarks

The DefaultFileName property specifies a file name to be suggested in the Save As dialog invoked for saving a document newly created in the SpreadsheetControl. The WorkbookSaveOptions.DefaultFormat property specifies a format for saving a new document. The file extension for the specified file format is added automatically.

To specify a name that is suggested in the SaveAs file dialog invoked by the SaveDocumentAsCommand command execution, use a Custom SaveAs Command technique illustrated in the following code snippet. The “C:\SavedDocument.xlsx” name is the default file name specified for the Save As dialog.
