list in mfc

[kamalesh82]

How can i access(by iterating)list in the file, which is supplied dynamically(browsing to select file using CFileDialog)during the execution in vc++(mfc) project?? kamalesh

Use CFileDialog::GetPathName() to get the path of the file. Then open the file. Then read the data from the file.

If you set the OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT flag for the dialog, you use the following code to iterate through the list of path names: CFileDialog dlg(...); // use appropriate settings if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK) { POSITION pos = dlg.GetStartPosition(); while (NULL != pos) { CString newPath = dlg.GetNextPathName(pos); // do something with newPath } Is that what you are trying to do?

What list? Are you trying to read the contents of the selected file?
