Help on CWinApp::DoPromptFileName

[gjcsot]

I'm using Visual C++ version 5 and I wish to edit the file extension options shown in the standard FileOpen dialog (that appear on the OnFileOPen Commard) so that there is a list of different file extension, but they appears to be no help on the CWinApp:oPromptFileName operation. Can you point me in the right place to find out how to change this list? Do I need a different document template for each file type even if they a handle in the same way once opened?

see here, for my windows app, I've got:
static OPENFILENAME ofn; <- open file name structure

then just make a filter of strings:
static TCHAR Filter[] = TEXT(&quot;Text Files (*.txt)\0*.txt\0&quot TEXT(&quot;Ascii files (*.asc)\0*.asc\0&quot;

etc etc for any filenames you want

then
ofn.lpstrFilter = Filter; //your filters from before
ofn.lpstrDefExt = TEXT(&quot;bob&quot; //default extension The weevil of doooooooooom
