Editing the String table - IDR_MAINFRAME

[gjcsot]

How do I add list items to the open file window using the
IDR_MAINFRAME String. At present it looks like this

Programme name\n\nProgramme\text Files (*.txt)
\n.txt\ntext\ntext Files

Which gives me a list containing:
text Files (*.txt)
All File (*.*)

I need to add more item (for example log file (*.log))

How do I do this?

Thanks for any help

You have to manipulate the dialog oject for that. It can't be done by editing the resource file.

Here's some code, directly copied from an app, so not all will be necessary for you:

CFileDialog dlg(TRUE, "jpg", NULL, OFN_ENABLESIZING, "Bitmap Image (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF File (*.gif)|*.gif|JPG File (*.jpg)|*.jpg||", (CWnd*)g_pMainWnd);
int nFilterIndex = g_pApp->GetProfileInt("Settings", "Default Extension", 1); //This is the most recently used filetype.
char pszTitle[30];
sprintf(pszTitle, "Select a picture for label %d:", nIndex);
dlg.m_ofn.lpstrTitle = pszTitle;
dlg.m_ofn.nFilterIndex = nFilterIndex; //Default to the most recently used filetype.
if(dlg.DoModal() != IDOK) return;

g_pApp->WriteProfileInt("Settings", "Default Extension", dlg.m_ofn.nFilterIndex);
CString sExt(dlg.GetFileExt());
sExt.MakeLower();
if(sExt != "jpg" && sExt != "gif" && sExt != "bmp&quot {
g_pMainWnd->MessageBox("Invalid file type !", NULL, MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP);
return;
}

m_pPaper->SetLabelPicture(nIndex - 1, (LPCTSTR)dlg.GetPathName());
UpdateAllViews(NULL);




And here's something similar, in case you prefer to not work in MFC:

//Initialize OPENFILENAME structure:
pFile->lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);
pFile->hwndOwner = hwdnOwner;
pFile->lpstrFile = pszFile;
pFile->nMaxFile = MAX_PATH;
pFile->lpstrFilter = "Executables (*.EXE)\0*.EXE\0";
pFile->nFilterIndex = 1;
pFile->lpstrTitle = pszTitle;
pFile->lpstrInitialDir = "C:\\";
pFile->lpstrCustomFilter = NULL;
pFile->nMaxCustFilter = 0;
pFile->lpstrFileTitle = NULL;
pFile->nMaxFileTitle = 0;
pFile->nFileOffset = 0;
pFile->nFileExtension = 0;
pFile->lpstrDefExt = NULL;
pFile->lCustData = 0;
pFile->lpfnHook = 0;
pFile->lpTemplateName = 0;
pFile->Flags = OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_HIDEREADONLY;

while(TRUE) {
if(!GetOpenFileName(pFile)) return FALSE;
if(_stricmp(&pszFile[pFile->nFileExtension], "exe&quot != 0)
MessageBox(hwdnOwner, "Please select an executable.", "Ignite:", MB_OK);
else break;
}

return TRUE;
