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

Well, I cannot give way to "anyone waiting for about two months"... :-D

Should be

dlgFile.m_ofn.lpstrFilter = _T("*.pdm\0");

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();
if (!fileName.IsEmpty())
	m\_sMapFileName = fileName;
UpdateData(FALSE);

Regards, Anil

Change to

dlgFile.m_ofn.lpstrFilter = _T("sct files\0*.sct\0");
dlgFile.m_ofn.nFilterIndex = 1;
