i want to clicked the save button of another application from my c# application.if there is data in that application then save dialogbox will appear while in absence of data message box will appear.After i want to give the filename as date and time similarly i want to click the ok button for messagebox.

i did it using 3 button save,enter filename button and ok button but the problem is when i clicked the save button window is changed to either save dialogbox or message box after that my c# application freezed. if i restart c# application it will work.how to solve this?
if possible i want to do it using single button.
