Have Problems with OPENFILENAME!

[AliFessi]

Hi there,

I need a SaveFile dialog in a non-MFC dll. All the code samples that I have tryed don't work properly under Win2K. Does anyone have a code sample that shows me how to initialize the structure OPENFILENAME before calling GetSaveFileName?

Thanks a lot!!

#include<windows.h>
#include<string.h>
class OpenSaveublic OPENFILENAMEW
{
private:
public:
OpenSave()
{
hwndOwner=NULL;
lpstrFilter=L&quot;Access database\0*.mdb\0Excell application\0*.xls\0All files\0*.*\0\0&quot;;
lpstrCustomFilter=(wchar_t*)NULL;
nMaxCustFilter=0L;
nFilterIndex=1L;
lpstrFile=new wchar_t[255];
wcscpy(lpstrFile,L&quot;Selected standards.mdb&quot;
nMaxFile=255;
lpstrFileTitle=new wchar_t[255];
nMaxFileTitle=50;
lpstrInitialDir=L&quot;c:\\\0 &quot;;
lpstrTitle=L&quot;Save your selected standards&quot;;
nFileOffset=0;
nFileExtension=2;
lpstrDefExt=L&quot;*.*&quot;;
lpfnHook=NULL;
lCustData=0;
Flags=OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST|OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT; lStructSize=sizeof(OPENFILENAMEW);
}
~OpenSave()
{
delete lpstrFile;
delete lpstrFileTitle;
}
int save()
{
return GetSaveFileNameW(this);
}
int open()
{

return GetOpenFileNameW(this);
}

};

Well! Thank you John Fill very much for your answer!

Unfortunately I still have the same problem! :-(

When I open the file dialog and click anything: for example the Cancel-button or to go one directory up or down, the dialog hangs up!! and I can not do anything except to kill the process with the task manager!!

Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?!!

Regards!

see if there is a CD on your CD-ROM. If so, the process will take some more time. Just eject the CD and see changes. Ion Filipski

No, I have no CD in my CD-ROM.

I think the problem could be hwndOwner or lpfnHook (the members of the structure OPENFILENAMEW)

I wrote an empty hook-procedure. It looks like that:

UINT CALLBACK OpenSave::OFNHookProc(HWND hdlg, UINT uiMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
return false;
}
--

Then I changed the parameter as follow:

Flags= OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT | OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_ENABLEHOOK;
lpfnHook = OpenSave::OFNHookProc;
--

The result: I receive a file dialog in an other form: this one where you have to choose first the drive and then choose the file in this drive. The file dialog does'nt hang up! Yeahh!! but I still has an other problem :-( I cannot change the drive!!! That means, if the drive of the InitDirectory is C:\I cannot choose a file in the drive D:\ or in any other drive!

Maybe you can help me if you can answer some of these questions:

1. how can I get the the HWND within the dll?
2. If I should change the hook procedure, how does it must look like?

3. Do you have any idea how I can solve this problem with the drive?

4. Does the code work in your case?! If not, why?!

Note that I want to open the file dialog in the DllMain in the switch statement: &quot;case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH&quot;. This could be the reason but no idea why!!

Thanks a lot for your advices!!!

No, the hook should be NULL. Put a hook only if you want a different type of handling messages. Ion Filipski
