CFileDialog

[Jim Bassett]

I want the CFileDialog dialog to be looking at a predetermine folder whenit first opens instead of the folder that the application is running. How do I do that.


Thanks

hai,

CFileDialog( BOOL bOpenFileDialog, LPCTSTR lpszDefExt = NULL, LPCTSTR lpszFileName = NULL, DWORD dwFlags = OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, LPCTSTR lpszFilter = NULL, CWnd* pParentWnd = NULL );

while creating a object for CFiledialog the third parameter in the constructor

you pass you can give the path you required to come when the file dialog

pops up.

Hi!
CFileDialog::m_ofn is a structure of type OPENFILENAME. Use this structure to initialize the appearance of a File Open or File Save As dialog box after it is constructed but before it is displayed with the DoModal member function. You can set the lpstrInitialDir member of m_ofn to the directory you want the dialog box to point to initially.


The following code shd solve your problem :
CFileDialog FilePath(TRUE);
FilePath.m_ofn.lpstrInitialDir = "D:\\"; //Set the value of lpstrInitialDir to the predeterminate folder U want it to point to.
FilePath.DoModal();

Do let me know if it works.
