    Wow Roger! There's documentation for these things? Who'd have thought. OT: How are things going for you? It's been a long time. :)

    :-) Hi Rajesh! Yep it's been a long time. The main reason is that I've been assigned to do Java-mumbo-jumbo and Eclipse plugins. ;-) Not really my cup of tea. Besides I've been busy (and still am...) trying to get my spare time to fit into the 24 hours given for each day. :zzz: How are things at your end? Busy? Nice things to work with?

      Yeah, there are a few interesting things that I'm trying out (involved in a research). Nothing new or profoundly exciting though. :)

        You should set the lpstrInitialDir member of the CFileDialog's m_ofn struct (see [^] and [^]). Please read carefully the documentation: file dialog behaviour is OS-dependant (for instance, Windows 7 behaves distinctively with respect the initial directory). :) [added] Wow! Damned *fast* Roger!

          Yeah, but I've been waiting for that one for about two months without answering anything else, so I was *really* ready. :cool:

                  Dear Pallini thanks for your reply! I tried with \0 still dialog not filtering. please check the code below.

                  CFileDialog dlgFile(TRUE);
                  CString fileName;
                  const int c\_cMaxFiles = 100;
                  const int c\_cbBuffSize = (c\_cMaxFiles \* (MAX\_PATH + 1)) + 1;
                  dlgFile.GetOFN().lpstrFile = fileName.GetBuffer(c\_cbBuffSize);
                  dlgFile.GetOFN().nMaxFile = c\_cMaxFiles;
                  dlgFile.m\_ofn.lpstrInitialDir = m\_sWorkpathPdm;
                  dlgFile.m\_ofn.lpstrFilter = \_T("\*.sct\\0");
                  dlgFile.DoModal();
                  fileName.ReleaseBuffer();
