Suggesting a name in the File Dialog

Hi
I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to "suggest" a name to the File Dialog each time it opens up. What I mean by "suggest" is when the File Dialog Box opens up there is already a name there for the user to save as, if he or she wants to use.
Thanks

If your filedialog box uses an edit window to input the file name, you could use
((CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1))->SetWindowText(filename); //Set filepath test to Edit 1 edit box
If it doesn't, tell me what is the input window type, and I wil try to help you.

Thanks for replying Joe, but actually I was just using the windows default File Dialog:
CFileDialog dlg(FALSE);
Is there any way I could have a name for the file to be saved as it already in using the CFileDialog like so up above?
Thanks

Look up CFileDialog in the Help...

The third parameter can be a default file name....

CString m_szNewEDLName = "MyFileName.ext";

CFileDialog dlg(FALSE, _T("ext"), m_szNewEDLName, OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_HIDEREADONLY, _T("(Your file type) Files (*.ext)|*.ext|All Files (*.*)|*.*||"));
