This may be more trouble than it's worth, but how about:
1) derive from CDocManager to get control of
CDocManager::DoPromptFileName().
2) copy the existing code for CDocManager::DoPromptFileName() into your
routine, except that you substitute your own class based on CFileDialog.
3) derive from CFileDialog to capture the OnOk message,
4) read the edit box then.
