CString + OPENFILENAME

Hi,
The project I'm working on requires to open a bitmap image from a location, display it and then save the image at another location. In this project I use a variable in OnFileSave As Dlg as OPENFILENAME type.
But, I have already used the same variable during file open dialog as a CString type.
The problem is: I need to use the same variable for both the dialogs.
Plzz suggest a variable type that has the features of both CString and OPENFILENAME or any other alternate solution.
Thank you in advance.

That's fine: your requirements are clear.

Usually this can be done.

I would go with the 'alternate solution'. Anyway you should give us meaningful details.

I used a variable named m_imgName in the OnFileSaveAs() Dialog. the variable is of type OPENFILENAME.

I have used same variable name in another dialog OnFileOpen(). In this dialog the variable is of type CString.

Now the problem is, I would like to declare a public variable so that it can do the work of both the variable types.
So I need a variable type as a combination of CString and OPENFILENAME.

Nope. You don't need that. You may share, for instance, the CString object (and make it interact properly with the OPENFILENAME struct).

Could you please post the relevant code?

Initial declaration of the variable:
CString     m_imgName;

Using the variables in both dialogs
<pre>
void CSockDlg::OnFileOpen()
{
     CFileDialog m_ldFile(TRUE, m_imgName, OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, szFilter);
     if (m_ldFile.DoModal() == IDOK)
     {
          m_imgName = m_ldFile.GetFileName();
          UpdateData(FALSE);
     }
}

void CSockDlg::OnFileSaveAs(HWND hWnd)
{
     OPENFILENAME m_imgName;
     TCHAR szPath[MAX_PATH];
     TCHAR szFile[MAX_PATH];
     ZeroMemory( &m_imgName, sizeof(OPENFILENAME) );
     m_imgName.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);

     szFile[0] = '\0';
     m_imgName.hwndOwner = hWnd;
     m_imgName.lpstrFile = szFile;
     m_imgName.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile)/sizeof(*szFile);
     if (1)
     {
          m_imgName.lpstrInitialDir = szPath;
     }
     if ( GetSaveFileName( &m_imgName ) == TRUE )
     {
     }
     else
     {
     }
}

</pre>
Here I've declared the variable again in th OnFileSaveAs() so that my project runs temporarily.
I'll have to remove the declaration from the dialog and have to declare a public variable.
Thank you

I cannot quite figure out what you are trying to achieve here but you cannot use a single variable as two different types. If you need to share some information that is held in the OPENFILENAME structure, then just make that structure the public variable.

Variable m_imgName doesn't need to be declared public (needs to be a class member, not a local variable), as it is used in its owner class code.

Why are you using a CFileDialog object for opening and GetSaveFileName() for saving?

As far as your question goes, consider:

int x = 5;
  
void main( void )
{
    int x = 10;
    cout << x; // what do you suppose this prints?
}

A list box or an edit box? A list box is not some sort of a "text container" that you can dump text into. So, you'll have to do a bit of work (parse entries and add it to the list box).

I'm sure all those functions are documented and there are plenty of examples out there. Not to mention if you're using MFC, things will be easier.
