OFN_DONTADDTORECENT

[Safai Ma]

Anyone know what value of this constant (OFN_DONTADDTORECENT) is?

Thx

Put the code below somewhere in your program


CString msg;
msg.Format("OFN_DONTADDTORECENT=%d",OFN_DONTADDTORECENT);
AfxMessageBox(msg);

If this constant is defined, I don't have to ask for, do I?

I searched through the C++ source code and found many other OFN_.... but not the one you are after

however, all values from 0x00000000 upto 0x00800000 are used, so there are only 8 more values available

I suggest trial and error, Safai

Hi Sally,

Yeah...I searched through both VC5 and VC6 and couldn't find it. It is documented on MSDN. (although it said it is for Windows 2000) You see, I am having this problem. I use CFileDialog to prompt the user for a filename to a save file (a .bmp file). But it automatically adds it in the recent document list after I hit OK on the file dialog. I tried setting the remaining flags to "1" but it still put the file in the recent document list. It wouldn't be nice to have that file in the recent document list when my program fails to write the file for some reason. This might be Windows 98 specific problem. Maybe you know a way around this problem.

Thanks again, Sally.

How about managing the recent list yourself?

You mean deleting the 'lnk' file in the recent file directory when my program fails to create the file?

(The file save dialog puts a filename in the recent file list automatically, well, at least on Win98)
