CFileDialog change directory?

[electronicman_x]

This is for an MDI program (mfc) with visual c++ 6.0 Probably a pretty easy question: I am using CFileDialog for open/save as file operations. I want to be able to create an instance of the dialog, change the working directory in code at runtime, and then domodal() having the dialog show the directory i specified as the current directory. I'm able to get the directory names i want to use in the format CString (i.e. "c:\project\dbc") and i want to use this path/directory string to change the directory but i can't seem to figure out how to do it.

You need to set the lpstrInitialDir member of the OPENFILENAME member struct (m_ofn) in the CFileDialog class. See the doc for more info.  onwards and upwards...

Thanks, that works great. I must have missed that m_ofn data item. Jeff Rothenberg Project Engineer Vector CANtech, Inc.
