Hi I have the following code

CString str1;
CFileDialog   FileDlg1(FALSE," ","ch1",OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT , "TXT File(*.txt)|*.txt|All(*.*)|*.*|");
if(FileDlg1.DoModal()==IDOK)
{
    ofstream ofs(FileDlg1.GetPathName());
    ofs.write(str1,str1.GetLength());
    ofs.close();
    AfxMessageBox("CH1 Data Saved!");
}

ofstream Data_ch1("ch1.txt", ios::out);

what it simply does, it saves the data of Data_ch1 in a txt file. the problem is that it saves the data with the name ch1.txt and if this name is changed the data will be missed in the file. i need a method to change the name of the file so the name inside " " is changed depends on the users.

What I have tried:

I tried to use GetWindowText and SetWindowText but they did not work.

Solution 1

Instead of using the hard coded value "ch1.txt", use FileDlg1.GetPathName(). That returns the name of the file selected by the user.
