CFileDlg Properties


Several class properties are available for customizing the Open and Save dialogs. These dialogs can be used with default settings. Alternatively, to customize them, each property must be "unlocked" by setting a property flag to true. By default, the new constructor sets all property flags to false so that default values will be used. Set the property flags between the point of using new and either Open or Save.
