CFileDlg Class Description

The CFileDlg class provides an interface for using the standard Open and Save file dialogs. Various properties can be configured, including user-defined title, "file type" filter, and other properties. The Open dialog can select multiple files and the class provides methods for iterating through the list of returned file names. The Open and Save dialogs do not open and save files; rather, they allow you to select file names that may be used for opening and saving files. Iteration using the Start and Next methods is similar to that of the CFileList class.
