Hmm...I don't see how the code worked in the first place? Anyways, I made some adjustments and am reposting the code:

//: changed OFNJaunt references to OFN
//: changed Filename from char * to array of char
//: changed CurDir from char * (LPTSTR) to array of char
//: changed nMaxFile to = sizeof(FileName);
//: Removed lpstrCustomFilter (set to 0L)
//: Set nMaxCustFilter to 0L
//: Set nMaxFileTitle to 0L

OPENFILENAME OFN;
char FileName[255] = { 0 }; //: where
char CurDir[255] = { 0 };

GetCurrentDirectory(100, CurDir);

OFN.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);
OFN.hwndOwner = hwnd;
OFN.hInstance =hInst;
OFN.lpstrFilter = "Object Files (*.cob,*.3ds,*.x)\0*.cob; *.3ds; *.x\0All Files (*.*)\0*.*\0\0";
OFN.lpstrCustomFilter = 0L;
OFN.nMaxCustFilter = 0L;/* not used if lpstrCustomFilter=NULL*/
OFN.nFilterIndex = 0;
OFN.lpstrFile = FileName;
OFN.nMaxFile = sizeof(FileName);
OFN.lpstrFileTitle = NULL;
OFN.nMaxFileTitle = 0; /* ignored if lpstrFileTitle is NULL */
OFN.lpstrInitialDir = CurDir;
OFN.lpstrTitle = "Open The File";
OFN.Flags = OFN_EXPLORER | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_HIDEREADONLY;
OFN.nFileOffset = NULL;
OFN.nFileExtension = NULL;
OFN.lpstrDefExt = ".cob";
OFN.lCustData = NULL;
OFN.lpfnHook = NULL;
OFN.lpTemplateName = NULL;

if ( GetOpenFileName(&OFN) )
MessageBox(0L, OFN.lpstrFile, "Selected File", MB_OK);
else
MessageBox(0L, "None selected!", "Selected File", MB_OK);

HTH,

Hey thanks, I tried the code but I got the same result, the program just closes entirely when I either double click on a file or hit "open" in the dialog box. Also still doesn't return true or false from the function.

I've been trying to get my code that I wrote in Borland to work in MSVC++. here's the code that's giving me problems right now:

OPENFILENAME OFN;
LPTSTR CurDir;
GetCurrentDirectory(100, CurDir);

OFN.lStructSize = sizeof(OFNJaunt);
OFN.hwndOwner = hwnd;
OFN.hInstance =hInst;
OFN.lpstrFilter = NormFilter;
OFN.lpstrCustomFilter = CustFilters;
OFN.nMaxCustFilter = sizeof(CustFilters);
OFN.nFilterIndex = 0;
OFN.lpstrFile = FileName;
OFN.nMaxFile = 500;
OFN.lpstrFileTitle = NULL;
OFN.nMaxFileTitle = 40;
OFN.lpstrInitialDir = CurDir;
OFN.lpstrTitle = "Open The File";
OFNJaunt.Flags = OFN_EXPLORER | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_HIDEREADONLY;
OFN.nFileOffset = NULL;
OFN.nFileExtension = NULL;
OFN.lpstrDefExt = ".cob";
OFN.lCustData = NULL;
OFN.lpfnHook = NULL;
OFN.lpTemplateName = NULL;

GetOpenFileName(&OFNJaunt);

The call to GetOpenFileName causes the whole program to quit. No message or anything. It doesn't even return True or False. It works in Borland, but not in Microsoft. help?

I use:

code:

---

int TelBytes(const char *FileNaam){	// This opens a file and counts te number of bytes in it,	// if zero, we return -1 (error)	FILE *fp = fopen(FileNaam, "rb");	if (fp == NULL) 		return -1;	int n=0;	while (getc(fp) != EOF) n++;	fclose(fp);	return n;}CString ShowBrowse(const char* const FileType, int OpenSave, HWND m_hWnd, CString Extensie){	// This shows the Open File dialog box	if (OpenSave == 1)  // Show an Open... box	{		static char szFile[256] = "", szFileTitle[256] = "";		static int iLengte = 0;		OPENFILENAME ofn;		memset(&ofn, 0, sizeof(ofn));		const char* const szFilter = FileType;		ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);		ofn.lpstrFilter = szFilter;		ofn.nFilterIndex = 1;		ofn.lpstrFile = szFile;		ofn.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile);		ofn.lpstrFileTitle = szFileTitle;		ofn.nMaxFileTitle = sizeof(szFileTitle);		ofn.lpstrInitialDir = NULL; 		ofn.hwndOwner = m_hWnd;		ofn.lpstrTitle = "Open file";		if (GetOpenFileName(&ofn))		{			iLengte = TelBytes(szFile);			if (iLengte == -1)			{				MessageBox(m_hWnd, "Unable to open file!", "ERROR", MB_OK | MB_ICONSTOP);				return "";			}			InvalidateRect(m_hWnd, NULL, TRUE);			return CString(szFile);		}	}	else if (OpenSave == 2)  // Show a Save As... box	{		static char szFile[256] = "", szFileTitle[256] = "";		static int iLengte = 0;		OPENFILENAME ofn;		memset(&ofn, 0, sizeof(ofn));		const char* const szFilter = FileType;		ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);		ofn.lpstrFilter = szFilter;		ofn.nFilterIndex = 1;		ofn.lpstrFile = szFile;		ofn.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile);		ofn.lpstrFileTitle = szFileTitle;		ofn.nMaxFileTitle = sizeof(szFileTitle);		ofn.lpstrInitialDir = NULL; 		ofn.hwndOwner = m_hWnd;		ofn.lpstrTitle = "Save file";		ofn.lpstrInitialDir = NULL;		if (GetSaveFileName(&ofn))		{			CString temp = CString(szFile);			temp.MakeUpper();			if (temp.Right(4) != Extensie )			{				temp += Extensie;							}						return temp;		}	}	return "";}

most of the time........just copied and pasted it right now........but at least it works. For me.......VC++
