Winapi C++ retrieve variable

Im writing another function (save function) that involves retrieving the filename - variable "szFileName" from this function...but I dont exactly know how to do the retrieving part....I figured it would involve pointers but i am not too good with pointers

Code:

---

BOOL Load(HWND hwnd, BOOL bSave)
{
  OPENFILENAME ofn;
  char szFileName[MAX_PATH];

  ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(ofn));
  szFileName[0] = 0;

  ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(ofn);
  ofn.hwndOwner = hwnd;
  ofn.lpstrFilter = "Text Files (*.txt)\0*.txt\0HTML Files (*.html)\0*.html\0HTM Files (*.htm)\0*.htm\0PHP Files (*.php)\0*.php\0UnkEdit Files (*.uke)\0*.uke\0All Files (*.*)\0*.*\0\0";
  ofn.lpstrFile = szFileName;
  ofn.nMaxFile = MAX_PATH;
  ofn.lpstrDefExt = "txt";
 
  ofn.Flags = OFN_EXPLORER | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_HIDEREADONLY;
      if(GetOpenFileName(&ofn))
      {
        if(!LoadFile(GetDlgItem(hwnd, EDIT_TEXT), szFileName))
        {
            MessageBox(hwnd, "Load of file failed.", "Error",
              MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
            return FALSE;
        }
      }
return TRUE;
}

If you just want to return a string pointer, use this template:

Code:

---

LPCTSTR MyFunc(int x, int y)
{
        static TCHAR szReturn[MAX_PATH];
 
        // Fill in szReturn here
 
        return szReturn;
}

---

If you really need to return a BOOL:

Code:

---

BOOL MyFunc(int x, int y, LPTSTR lpString, UINT cbString)
{
        // Do your thing here
        _tcsncpy_s(lpString, cbString, szFilename, sizeof(szFilename)/sizeof(szFilename[0]));
 
        return FALSE;
}
