Open files of different types

In my application, when the user selects file "open" the standard file dialog box is displayed. How do I add to the list of file types (three character extensions). How would I then distinguish the files. Should I check the last three characters in LPCTSTR lpszPathName which is passed to my OnOpenDocument routine. Is there an example of this on codeguru.

Thankyou

Goto your resources. In string table there is an indificator IDR_MAINFRAME in this string your file types are described - change it. For understanding of format look at CFileDialog constructor at help.

Look at the docs for the CDocTemplate constructor and CDocTemplate::GetDocString.

The string used sits in the string resource table with the same resource ID as is passed to the CDocTemplate constructor.
