Set the lpstrInitialDir of the CFileDialog member m_ofn.

Hi Rajesh!

Yep it's been a long time. The main reason is that I've been assigned to do Java-mumbo-jumbo and Eclipse plugins. Wink | ;-)

Not really my cup of tea.
Besides I've been busy (and still am...) trying to get my spare time to fit into the 24 hours given for each day. Sleepy | :zzz:

How are things at your end? Busy? Nice things to work with?

You should set the lpstrInitialDir member of the CFileDialog's m_ofn struct (see [^] and [^]).
Please read carefully the documentation: file dialog behaviour is OS-dependant (for instance, Windows 7 behaves distinctively with respect the initial directory).

Should be

dlgFile.m_ofn.lpstrFilter = _T("*.pdm\0");

Dear Pallini thanks for your reply!

I tried with \0 still dialog not filtering. please check the code below.

CFileDialog dlgFile(TRUE);
CString fileName;
const int c_cMaxFiles = 100;
const int c_cbBuffSize = (c_cMaxFiles * (MAX_PATH + 1)) + 1;
dlgFile.GetOFN().lpstrFile = fileName.GetBuffer(c_cbBuffSize);
dlgFile.GetOFN().nMaxFile = c_cMaxFiles;
dlgFile.m_ofn.lpstrInitialDir = m_sWorkpathPdm;
dlgFile.m_ofn.lpstrFilter = _T("*.sct\0");
dlgFile.DoModal();
fileName.ReleaseBuffer();
if (!fileName.IsEmpty())
    m_sMapFileName = fileName;
UpdateData(FALSE);

Anil

Change to

dlgFile.m_ofn.lpstrFilter = _T("sct files\0*.sct\0");
dlgFile.m_ofn.nFilterIndex = 1;

It is documented in RFC 4954[^], here a pseudo code:

CString sText = sUsername + '\0' + sUsername + '\0' + sPassword;
sAuthentication.Format("AUTH PLAIN %s\r\n", (LPCSTR)Base64Encode(sText, sText.GetLength());

This should work if not already supported in a SMTP client. Hope it helps.

You are hoping wrongly. Noone will make your work for you, if you don't pay for it, and even then, probably noone will do it either.

Maybe you don't find any useful code for you, but there is quite a lot results[^] for the theory. Start reading and coding your own, and when you have concrete questions, then try it again. You'll probably get more satisfactory answers than now.

Hi,

I'm using a custom CListCtrl to display my configuration settings, but I want to separate different sections with an item which has a different background colour.

Is it possible to change the background colour of a single item?

TIA
