How to create a modeless or embedded CFileDialog, GetOpenFileName() or GetSaveFileName() into user Dialog? Thanks

I'm not 100% sure what you are trying to do but you can look here[^] for help on CFileDialog. Alternatively if you are looking to customise these dialogs to your own specifications then try here[^].

The best things in life are not things.

Why would you want a modeless CFileDialog? I can't think of any case where a user would select some sort of open/save button and have the software not wait for an input or a cancel. Regardless of that though, if you really want it, just make your own class derived from CFileDialog (you'll have to replace DoModal() with a call to Create()). Override the virtual methods OnOK() and OnCancel() and you have your own modeless CFileDialog.

I don't think it is possible to embed standard dialog inside a form neighther to execute them as modeless. You can customize the look of standard dialog but it won't make theme modeless... If you are targetting Vista and Windows 7, you might look at : http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/WindowsAPICodePack[^] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2416963/how-to-create-an-explorer-like-folder-browser-control[^] You could also look at that product: http://www.ssware.com/fldrview.htm[^] Although that product is not free, this is probably the best solution (Active-X control) if you want to uses it from a MFC application and do not want to uses .NET framework and you still want to support XP (or even older OS).
