CFileDialog strange GetFileName

[_Flaviu]

I have following code:

CFileDialog fileDlg(TRUE, \_T("\*"), NULL, OFN\_PATHMUSTEXIST | OFN\_OVERWRITEPROMPT, \_T("All files (\*.\*)|\*.\*||"), NULL);
if(IDOK == fileDlg.DoModal())
	TRACE(">>>%s\\n", fileDlg.GetFileName());

and when I select a file, no mater what kind of file, I get:

>>>D

that is all ... why ? What I have done wrong here ?

You are passing an ANSI string to the TRACE macro. Therefore, an ANSI string is expected for the %s parameter but you have a Unicode build and fileDlg.GetFileName() returns a wide string. So you should use the _T() macro also for the TRACE argument:

TRACE(_T(">>>%s\n"), fileDlg.GetFileName());

See also the examples at MFC Debugging Techniques[^].

Thank you. That was the problem.
