CFileDialog

Hi,

why is the following code not working? I get a debug assertion fault:

CFileDialog dlgLoad(TRUE);
dlgLoad.m_ofn.lpstrFilter = "HTML-Dateien\0*.htm;*.html";
dlgLoad.m_ofn.lpstrFile = "*.htm;*.html";
dlgLoad.m_ofn.lpstrInitialDir = "C:\\Eigene Dateien";
dlgLoad.m_ofn.Flags = OFN_HIDEREADONLY;
dlgLoad.DoModal();



If I remove the lines with Flags and lptstrFile, everything is fine.

Where's the problem?

TIA,

Here's an example of what the call should look like:

void CYourDoc::OnFileOpen()
{
CString szTemp;

szTemp = AfxGetApp()->GetProfileString("Folders", "OpenDefault");

CFileDialog dlg(TRUE, _T("doc"), NULL,
OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_HIDEREADONLY,
_T("Type of Files (*.doc;*.xls)|*.doc;*.xls|All Files (*.*)|*.*||"));

if (szTemp.GetLength() > 0)
dlg.m_ofn.lpstrInitialDir = (LPCTSTR)szTemp;

if (dlg.DoModal() != IDOK)
{
UpdateAllViews(NULL);
return; // stay with old data file
}

// Blah, Blah, Blah....
}

Is it not possible to use it the way I did it?

With some changes... yes:

CFileDialog dlgLoad(TRUE);

// Change this slightly:

dlgLoad.m_ofn.lpstrFilter = _T("HTML-Dateien (*.htm;*.html)\0|*.htm;*.html\0\0");

dlgLoad.m_ofn.lpstrFile = _T("*.htm;*.html");

dlgLoad.m_ofn.lpstrInitialDir = _T(C:\\Eigene Dateien");

// You have to use a bitwise OR here:

dlgLoad.m_ofn.Flags |= OFN_HIDEREADONLY;

dlgLoad.DoModal();

Ok, the bitwise OR makes sense, but the debug assertion is still there. Any other idea why?

No - other than the error in my code that I posted where I forgot to put a quote in the initial folder string, I tested this code on my system and it works perfectly.

Where are you making the call?
