garbage using CFileDialog

[Luis E Cuadrado]

Hello everybody: I have something weird happening when in a CFileDialog object that I create. From a menu, I choose a command that brings up a Open File dialog. The weird thing is happening when I click the File Type pull down where it says Executable Files (*.exe)|*.exe I able to see in the list the Executable Files (*.exe)|*.exe and under that some garbage. I just want that Open File dialog to have just 1 option (Executable Files (*.exe)|*.exe). This is the code that I have so far: //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// static char szFilter[] = "Executable Files (*.exe)|*.exe"; CFileDialog openDialog(TRUE,NULL, NULL,OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, szFilter); //Set the title of the dialog. CString sTitle; VERIFY(sTitle.LoadString(IDS_OPEN_WITH)); openDialog.m_ofn.lpstrTitle = sTitle; int nResult = openDialog.DoModal(); if(IDCANCEL==nResult) return; //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Is there something that I need to do to correct this problem? I have a screenshot with the problem but I didn't saw anything in this forum that I can post images. Any answer is more than welcome. Best regards, Luis E. Luis E. Cuadrado :0)

You forgot to append two '|' characters at the end of the string

static char szFilter[] = "Executable Files (*.exe)|*.exe||";

Ooppsss, I didn't notice that. I put the two "||" and it works. Thank you very much Tomasz for all your help. Have a nice day, Luis E. Cuadrado :0)
