Ok this is what I do in my WinMain ():
ZeroMemory(&OfnSts, sizeof(OPENFILENAME));
OfnSts.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);
OfnSts.lpstrFile = (char *)malloc(MAX_FILENAME_LEN);
OfnSts.nMaxFile = MAX_FILENAME_LEN;
OfnSts.Flags = OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST |
OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST | OFN_LONGNAMES | OFN_EXPLORER /*| OFN_EXPLORER */ ;
OfnSts.hInstance = hMainInstance;
OfnSts.lpfnHook = NULL;
OfnSts.hwndOwner = GetActiveWindow();
OfnSts.lpTemplateName = NULL;
OfnSts.lpstrFilter = filter;
OfnSts.lpstrInitialDir = NULL;
OfnSts.lpstrCustomFilter= NULL;
OfnSts.nFilterIndex = 1;
OfnSts.lpstrFileTitle = NULL;
OfnSts.lpstrDefExt = NULL;
The structure OfnSts is declared as a global OPENFILENAME .
In a subsequent call to a DialogBox , I just call
the GetOpenFileName (&ofnSts) .
This call always fails with a CDERR_INITIALIZATION error, no matter
what parameters I set in OfnSts.
Any idea ?
thanx
