How to Create Common File Dialog in ATL COM Component

[Tony Li]

I want to create a Common File Dialog, like the one in MFC, in my ATL COM component. I turned off "MFC Support" option to minimize the COM component size. Is there any dialog class, like CFileDialog, in ATL to do that? Or is there any easy way to do that other than create my own file dialog? Thanks, Tony

You can use "GetOpenFileName"/"GetSaveFileName", They are Win32API methods that can be used to open/save a file respectively. If you are just browsing for a folder, you can use "SHBrowseForFolder" API method. Hope it helps,
