I would like to change the standard
file index filter in the standard file
open/save dialog.

Who can help me?

Thanks a lot.

Try something along the following lines..

         CFileDialog dlg(true);
        dlg.m_ofn.lpstrFilter = TEXT("Text
Files\0*.TXT\0Assembly\0*.asm\0Cpp\0*.cpp\0\0");
        dlg.m_ofn.nFilterIndex = 2;

        dlg.DoModal();

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CPlainSDIApp, CWinApp)
        //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CPlainSDIApp)
        ON_COMMAND(ID_APP_ABOUT, OnAppAbout)
        ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_OPEN, OnFileOpen)  // ADDED
        //}}AFX_MSG_MAP
        // Standard file based document commands
        ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_NEW, CWinApp::OnFileNew)
//      ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_OPEN, CWinApp::OnFileOpen) // REMOVED
        // Standard print setup command
        ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_PRINT_SETUP, CWinApp::OnFilePrintSetup)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

I commented out the default OnFileOpen line and the wizard added the
ADDED line when I added a message handler for ID_FILE_OPEN.  So now the
menu command will come to your own OnFileOpen.  It should look something
like this:

void CPlainSDIApp::OnFileOpen()
{
 CFileDialog dlg(true);
 dlg.m_ofn.lpstrFilter = TEXT("Text
Files\0*.TXT\0Assembly\0*.asm\0Cpp\0*.cpp\0\0");
 dlg.m_ofn.nFilterIndex = 2;
 if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
        OpenDocumentFile(dlg.GetPathName());

Greetings!

: Hi Nassau,
: By default the file open command is handled by CWinApp::OnFileOpen.
: What you can do is add your own message handler for the file open
: command and display the file open dialog yourself, with the filtering
: you want.
:
: BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CPlainSDIApp, CWinApp)
: file://{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CPlainSDIApp)
: ON_COMMAND(ID_APP_ABOUT, OnAppAbout)
: ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_OPEN, OnFileOpen)  // ADDED
: file://}}AFX_MSG_MAP
: // Standard file based document commands
: ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_NEW, CWinApp::OnFileNew)
: // ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_OPEN, CWinApp::OnFileOpen) // REMOVED
: // Standard print setup command
: ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_PRINT_SETUP, CWinApp::OnFilePrintSetup)
: END_MESSAGE_MAP()
