This is what I am currently doing:<br />
<br />
strOutputPath &nbsp; &nbsp; = dlg.GetPathName();<br />
strExt &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;= dlg.GetFileExt();<br />
strTitle &nbsp; &nbsp; = dlg.GetFileTitle();<br />
<br />
if (strExt.IsEmpty())<br />
{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;AfxMessageBox(&quot;Please browse again and specify a file extension for your output file&quot;);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;return false;<br />
}<br />
<br />

strExt *does* come up empty...<br />

When I use CFileDialog, giving users the ability to sort by file type through the use of the drop-down list, how do I know what they &quot;chose&quot;?<br />
<br />
You see, I'm finding that people often don't put a file extension because they believe (understandably) that the context will dictate the file extension, and it's causing me a small headache.<br />

CFileDialog Question...

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
