If you follow Chensu's comment you will get the error : FNERR_BUFFERTOOSMALL<br />
<br />
This is because CFileDialog set the buffer which stores the file names(lpstrFile member of OPENFILENAME struct) to 260 chars.<br />
<br />
You can derive a class from CFileDialog and set the buffer size to what you want.<br />

10x both,<br />
Can you give an example? I tried playing with it, allocating memory, defining the nMaxFile field, &nbsp;and I managed to pick multy files. but still I have 2 problems:<br />
1. the first is that the &quot;file name&quot; field contains garbage (NULL in the lpszFileName variable in CFileDialog Ctor didn't help)<br />
2. Altough I delete my allocated buffer, I get &quot;Out of memory&quot; message box quite often (my allocation fails).<br />

10x both,
Can you give an example? I tried playing with it, allocating memory, defining the nMaxFile field,  and I managed to pick multy files. but still I have 2 problems:
1. the first is that the "file name" field contains garbage (NULL in the lpszFileName variable in CFileDialog Ctor didn't help)
2. Altough I delete my allocated buffer, I get "Out of memory" message box quite often (my allocation fails).

hi all,<br />
the CFileDialog probably has a limitation of the qountity of files it can choose in one iteration of multi-select. when it exceeds the num of files it can choose, the DoModal returns IDCANCEL, and I have no way of knowing why it failed.<br />
my question is how can I tell after the DoModal() failed that it is due to the num of files that were picked, and not because user simply clicked &quot;Cancel&quot;?<br />
