Open File Dialog

[rachelason]

HI! I want to get rid of All Files(*.*)from the type list when i try to open a document in an MFC program.
I had to do the same in the SaveAs which i managed to solve it by calling CFileDialog with the file types in the DOFileSave function.
But there is no DOFileOpen function to open a document with only one option(*.xtr - this is a file extension i have created through MFC).

I edited the string table, but no good.

I believe this is the code required to do it... but what i don't understand is where to add it. I tried in OnNewDocument(), serialize, etc etc.

<code>

CFileDialog ldFile1(TRUE, _T(".XTR"), NULL, OFN_HIDEREADONLY, _T("*.XTR"));
ldFile1.DoModal() ;

</code>

Any suggestion please?
Thanks
Rach

Not MFC related, but functions GetOpenFileName() and GetSaveFileName() could be perhaps helpfull, if I understood correctly?

this is how to open a common dialog open/save this is set to open and I have added the *.xtr filter for you.

CFileDialog dlg(TRUE/*Open=TRUE Save=False*/,NULL/*Filename Extension*/,"Directory Selection"/*Initial Filename*/,OFN_ENABLESIZING|OFN_EXPLORER|OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST/*Flags*/,"XTR(*.xtr)|*.xtr||"/*Filetype Filter*/,this/*parent Window*/);
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
    CString fileName = dlg.GetFileName();
}
