Browse for files

[emperorevil]

How can I, with a dialog box, make a "browse" button that can search for a file of a specific type that can return whatever path was of the file selected?
(I'm new to Visual C++)

Try

Add the button to the dialog, and add an event handler using class wizard(or by pressing ctrl and double clicking the button)
and add the following code to the new function

CString strFilt = "My Files (*.xxx)|.xxx||";
CString myFile = "";

CFileDialog FileDlg(TRUE,NULL,NULL,OFN_HIDEREADONLY |
                    OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, strFilt);
(if FileDlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
  myFile = FileDlg.GetPathName();
}

Thanks! Where can I get more information on the "CFileDialog" class?

MSDN is fairly helpful - thats where I learnt it from
