file open/save dialog

king_of_inismac · 2004-07-01 10:11:51

Hey guys, Still working on my win32 application. I'm trying to allow for the opening and saving of files within the application. There seems to be a lot of stuff on google for MFCs, but is there an easy way to pop up the file-open dialog in win32. And a simple way to pop up a file save dialog? Any advcice much appreciated!…

Coming from a VB point of view but comdlg32.dll has a GetSaveFileName function and a GetOpenFileName function that should open the dialogs you want. They both take an OPENFILENAME stucture as an argument.

Here's the Common Dialog skinny on MSDN.
