Hi,

I am having a lot of problems displaying the CFileDialog modal dialog box

after much research I have noticed many examples of the CfileDialog with Just 1 paramter

and then a DoModal e.g. CFileDialog mydialog(TRUE); mydialog.DoModal();

The problem I am encurring is when step to the mydialog.DoModal(); a breakpoint is hit "int 3"

and I get a access exception

has anyone had this problem trying to use a CFileDialog

CFileDialogs are pretty much as simple as it gets... with that said, your question doesn't make a ton of sense. What's error that you're getting exactly? Is it a breakpoint or a assertion that's stopping execution?

Place applicable code and maybe I can get a better idea as to what you're doing wrong.

That exactly the point I had the contructer coded with filers window title etc.

but this code

C++

CFileDialog mydialog(TRUE);

		mydialog.DoModal();

should work

This what happens when I step to mydialog.DoModal();

The code hits a break point
and later on get a access violation
doing a Call Stack at this point seems that mscowrks.dll is executing
I moved this code to the beginng of CWinApp::Initinstance
so Its one the first things I do and still I have problem

You're probably compiling this with some odd options, that's part of .Net (I believe), which you shouldn't be using at all on a C++/MFC application. I would guess your problem is not the code but the way you configured the project.

Thanks

that makes sense

Assuming this is a continuation of your previous problem, I already suggested this[^], and similarly tried to explain, here[^], about the correct use of casts in C. Randomly changing parameters or removing them altogether is no substitute for making full use of both documentation and debug information.

Use the best guess

I did that and I still encountred the problem breakpoint followed by access violation

bottom line till me if I right

CFileDialog.mydialog(TRUE);

mydialog.DoModal(TRUE);

Should work as it would take default paramters correct ?

Not necessarily, as we do not know what else your code is doing. As I said before, read the documentation[^] and carefully check against your code. Also ensure that your project has been completely rebuilt to ensure no undiagnosed compiler errors remain.

Use the best guess

I'll re-read the doc

but

1) I got s clean build

2) this is the first thing in CWinApp::InitInstance

thank you

There must be something wrong with your system that we are not aware of. Does this application run correctly if you do not use the CFileDialog?

Use the best guess

ForNow5-Mar-13 6:04

5-Mar-13 6:04

Yes it does

I am begining to think it must be something like file permissions

I live next to someone who worked for MicroSoft

He had a look at it once I'll ask him again

That is most unlikely unless you have a Microsoft library that is corrupt or somehow unreadable.

I just reread some of your earlier posts and noticed :

This, according to http://www.ehow.com/facts_7827759_mscorwksdll.html[^] is a .NET library, so I would be interested to know how that is getting connected to your app.

Use the best guess

The first thing? Maybe you are not giving the framework enough time to get everything ready. Perhaps putting the code someplace else (e.g., in response to a button click) would work better.

I created an empty dialog-based app with the following change:

BOOL CDCDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
    CDialog::OnInitDialog();

    SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE);
    SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE);

    CFileDialog dlg(TRUE);
    dlg.DoModal();

    return TRUE;
}

It worked fine. Can you try something similar?

Tried the coce

the CfileDialog modeless displays it for an instance

and then i get a messagebox HERC_CMD encountered breakpoint

There's a known problem with CFileDialog crashing although I can't remember the exact situations. Something to do with WINVER, I think. Anyway, you can test if this is what your problem is by creating the dialog on the stack and seeing if that stops the crash.

e.g.

CFileDialog* pFD = new CFileDialog(...);
pFD->DoModal();
.
.
delete pFD;

It was actually related to trying to use a CFileDialog object, which references m_pMainWnd, in a dialog-based app after the main dialog had been dismissed.

OK I did embark into world of DirectShow and ditched VFW.
All the code samples here is way over my head for now.
I got as far as “using SDK to build basic DirectShow”. It is in one of many SDK 's “help doc” MS puts out here and there about DirectShow. I am suppose to build basic DirectShow application and use it as accessible debug library. I must be dense, but I cannot figure how to do it.
I do not need full blown sample code, there are plenty of them here, but gentle nudge into right direction in building from SDK sample would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers Vaclav
