Problem in saving file as .txt

shinyhui · #1 29-Apr-2005, 01:49

i'm using the CFileDialog filedialog(FALSE, NULL, NULL, OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, _T("Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|Document Files (*.doc)|*.doc|All Files (*.*)|*.*||"), this) to limit as my DoModal() file type.. when i save a file i choose my file type as .txt but in the actual fie destination it does not appear as a .txt file it just display as a window file as type File.

Did there have any solution about this?

Hi,

The second parameter is for Extension of the file... it seems u have placed NULL there... it means no extension for the file..

CPP / C++ / C Code:

CFileDialog( BOOL bOpenFileDialog, LPCTSTR lpszDefExt = NULL, 
			LPCTSTR lpszFileName = NULL, DWORD dwFlags = OFN_HIDEREADONLY | 
			OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, LPCTSTR lpszFilter = NULL, CWnd* pParentWnd = NULL );

Is it... OK

Best Regards,
Janakiraman

Hello,

You could try this:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

char szFileName[ MAX_PATH ];

CFileDialog filedialog(FALSE, "txt", szFileName, OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, 
_T("Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|Document Files (*.doc)|*.doc|All Files (*.*)|*.*||"), this);

If not you could look at the following example for answers. I just broke down the process in small steps:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

BOOL M_SaveFile(void) {
	// Local variables
	OPENFILENAME ofn;
	char szFileName[ MAX_PATH ];

	// Zero out memory
	ZeroMemory( &ofn, sizeof( ofn ) );
	// Clear out file name
	szFileName[ 0 ] = 0;
	// Set struct size
	ofn.lStructSize = sizeof( ofn );
	// Set owner
	ofn.hwndOwner = this;
	// Set filter
	ofn.lpstrFilter = "Text Files ( *.txt )\0 *.txt\0";
	// Get file name
	ofn.lpstrFile = szFileName;
	// Max file length
	ofn.nMaxFile = MAX_PATH;
	// Default extension
	ofn.lpstrDefExt = "txt";
	// Flags
	ofn.Flags = OFN_EXPLORER | OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST | OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT;
}

I do hope this helps.
