I have determined from a previously asked question that under VB4 16-bit enviroment using the CommonDialog control there is no way to determine which file type/extension filter has been selected. &nbsp;What I'm trying top do is directly access the Win16 commdlg.dll API to give me the ability to determine which file type has been selected so that I can then save a file in that format. &nbsp;I've been able to successfully display the File Save dialog by writting a &nbsp;C DLL function that is simply wrapper for the actual API function that I call from my VB program. &nbsp;My problem is that I have formatted the lpstrFilter member of the OPENFILENAME struct to how it is described in the Win16 SDK but the &quot;List files of type&quot; listbox only shows the first filter name I specfied and it doesn't apply the filter to the file listings. &nbsp;What am I missing here and is there an better alternative to may approah?

Using Win16 commdlg.dll API in VB4

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
