Greetings:
I need to launch a CFileDialog box but I need to implement special file name filtering. That is, I might filter with a file name extension like "TXT", however, I need to filter even further by excluding files that have certain sub-strings embedded in their names. The wild card method is not going to work here because I need to exclude file names that have certain characteristics, not include them. This requirement has been thrust upon me and I simply have to find a solution.
I can't see anything in the documentation that says you can do this.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Mark

Does it also include using CFileDialog?

Hi David:
No, not necessarily. I am becoming resigned to the possibility that I'll just have to construct my own selection dialog. No big deal, just another little thing on the great-big pile.
But I was expecting (or hoping) that under the hood of CFileDialog, there might be a mechanism, an optional callback function perhaps, where each time the dialog was about to add another entry to the list box embedded in the dialog, the callback would first be called and you could use this callback to do any manner of screening that you need and say "yes" or "no" to adding the file. No such luck, apparently.
So, I'm open to suggestions but I need to get this done. It is a minor requirement in the grand scheme of things but I have already spent a lot of time trying to come up with a solution.
Thanks,
Mark

Look up CDN_INCLUDEITEM in MSDN.

That is exactly what I was looking for!

Creating your own dialog would be the easier choice. You could also allow the CFileDialog to do it's job, then before showing it to the user, iterate through it's list box performing your own additional scan of the files. All you need to do is find the window handle to it's listbox, then use the normal api functions to remove items.

Does this dialog expose the handle to its list box? Is there not a risk of screwing things up? For example, maybe I can remove the entries from the list box but what if there is an under-lying collection (like, say, CStringArray) that contains the entries and these entries are not removed? The list box would become un-synchronized with the internal list...
Thank you,
Mark

did CDN_INCLUDEITEM work for you? As I recall it does not quite work as you would first expect...
I needed to do exactly what you did, the only solution I could find was provided by Paul DiLascia:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/10/CQA/
There doesn't seem to be any under-lying collection, as this solution worked fine for me...the only problem is in this solution is you're deleting unwanted files from the list after they have been added rather than just excluding them in the first place...

Another similar option would be to populate the dialogs list with an obviously stupid file extension, then add the items yourself.

You can kill any process, however processes generaly do not share the same memory (a memory mapped file being an exception).
|
|
|
|
|
Another way is that both .EXEs can use a DLL which has a shared data segment.

Another way is ReadProcessMemory and WriteProcessmemory 
|
|

That's not technically shared memory: it's a way to acesss mrmory in another process that isn't shared.

I am basically trying to make an anti-cheat tool for a certain program. So I mean how can I stop programs like trainers which modify the programs memory value at runtime?

actually you have to hook api like ReadProcessMemory and writeProcessmemory

Hi Friends,
Can anyone guide me in preparaing for a C++ and COM interview? I have seen some online interview questions in C++, but couldn't find anything for COM. This is a face-to-face interview, so i expect those guys to ask me to write some programs. Anyone has a idea, the general C++ programs that will be asked to write in personal interviews?
I would appreciate if someone could guide me on finding some online materials to prepare for an personal interview in C++ and COM.
Thanks in advance.

i've never had to write a program in an interview.

Thanks.
Any idea about the other typical questions that i can expect?

Does 'playboy' qualify as a book?

Yes, but "36C" is not the proper answer for "What does COM stand for?"
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.
