All,

I am having difficulty retrieving all the filenames selected from the common
file open dialog.  I believe that I have correctly initialized the pointer
to a string buffer large enough and have set the ofn_allowmultiselect flag.
I am having trouble using GetStartPosition and GetNextPathName  in a loop to
retrieve all the filenames.  Can anyone help with a little code snippet??

Thanks,

David

 CString Filetypes;
 Filetypes.LoadString(IDS_OPENFILETYPES);

 CFileDialog dlg(TRUE, NULL, NULL, OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT |
OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT, Filetypes, NULL);

 char*  buff=new char[65535];
 buff[0]='\0';
 dlg.m_ofn.lpstrFile=buff;
 dlg.m_ofn.nMaxFile = 65535;//sizeof(buff);

 POSITION Position;

 if(dlg.DoModal()==IDOK)

   Position=dlg.GetStartPosition();
   while(Position)
   {
     //dlg.GetNextPathName(Position); will give you a path
   }
 }

 delete [] buff;

There was a problem with the Explorer style dialog under NT4 that was
fixed with SP2.

However, here's a brief example:

        CString FileName;
        POSITION pos;
        pos = dlgFile.GetStartPosition();
        while (pos != NULL)
        {
                FileName = dlgFile.GetNextPathName(pos);

                ...
        }

Hello,

I'm trying to insert an OLE control in a dialog box, but that
didn't work :

when I'm trying to insert ole in a dialog I have a TRACE :
"
Warning: SetExtent on OLE control (dialog ID 1070) failed.
IOleInPlaceObject not supported on OLE control (dialog ID 1070).

My code is

// when I click on a button named control
void CDanielDlg::Onctrl()
{
        // get CLSID
        COleInsertDialog dial;
        if (dial.DoModal() != IDOK)
                return;
        CLSID clsID  = dial.GetClassID();

        // get the rect of a control in my dialog
        CRect rect;
        m_ctrlCadre.GetWindowRect(rect);
        ScreenToClient( rect );

        // trying to create the control !
        BOOL bOK = m_wndOle.CreateControl( clsID, NULL, WS_VISIBLE, rect, this,
1070 );

thanks
Stephane

did you add AfxEnableControlContainer in initinstance

From the code it seems like you are trying to insert any OLE insertable object.
So, That would mean the that the object selected in COleInsertDialog might not
be a control after all. So, It might be failing because of that. Moreover,
COleInsertDialog is not the right dialog to use to insert a control. Try to
insert the control before hand without using the dialog and try CreateControl on
that. Or, I think there might already be a dialog for inserting controls. Check
out www.codeguru.com . You might find something there.
