For example, the GetFolderPath method might be used to obtain the path to the MyDocuments folder, then an application setting may be used to add a relative subdirectory portion.

The System. Path class contains static members to assist in manipulating absolute and relative path strings, whereas the System. File and System. Directory classes have static members that actually manipulate files and directories, respectively.

If the user of your application changes the folder in the FileDialog , then the current working directory for your application is set to the location specified in the FileDialog. To prevent this, set the RestoreDirectory property to true. Owns the FileOk event. Gets or sets a value indicating whether the dialog box automatically adds an extension to a file name if the user omits the extension.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether this FileDialog instance should automatically upgrade appearance and behavior when running on Windows Vista. Gets or sets a value indicating whether the dialog box displays a warning if the user specifies a file name that does not exist. Gets or sets a value indicating whether the dialog box displays a warning if the user specifies a path that does not exist.

Gets or sets the GUID to associate with this dialog state. Typically, state such as the last visited folder and the position and size of the dialog is persisted based on the name of the executable file. By specifying a GUID, an application can have different persisted states for different versions of the dialog within the same application for example, an import dialog and an open dialog. This functionality is not available if an application is not using visual styles or if AutoUpgradeEnabled is set to false.

Gets the IContainer that contains the Component. Gets the custom places collection for this FileDialog instance. Gets or sets a value indicating whether the dialog box returns the location of the file referenced by the shortcut or whether it returns the location of the shortcut.

Gets a value that indicates whether the Component is currently in design mode. Gets the list of event handlers that are attached to this Component.

These include the following:. In addition, there is a set of messages that you can send to an Explorer-style dialog box to get information or to control the behavior and appearance of the dialog box. You can use some of these messages to control the behavior of the dialog box. In response to this message, the hook procedure can use the SetWindowLong function to reject the selected name and force the dialog box to remain open.

The code member in the header of this structure contains one of the following notification messages. To retrieve information about the status of the dialog box or to control the behavior and appearance of the dialog box, the hook procedure can send the following messages to the dialog box.

Typically, if you provide additional controls, you must also provide an Explorer-style hook procedure to process messages for the new controls. To make room for the new controls, the system expands the default dialog box by the width and height of the custom dialog box.

By default, all controls from the custom dialog box are positioned below the controls in the default dialog box. However, you can override this default positioning by including a static text control in your custom dialog box template and assigning it the control identifier value of stc This value is defined in the Dlgs.

In this case, the system uses the control as the point of reference for determining where to position the new controls. All new controls above and to the left of the stc32 control are positioned the same amount above and to the left of the controls in the default dialog box.

New controls below and to the right of the stc32 control are positioned below and to the right of the default controls. In general, each new control is positioned so that it has the same position relative to the default controls as it had to the stc32 control.

To make room for these new controls, the system adds space to the left, right, bottom, and top of the default dialog box as needed. The system requires the hook procedure to process all messages intended for the custom dialog box and therefore sends the same window messages to the hook procedure as to any other dialog box procedure. The hook procedure is responsible for initializing these controls and retrieving values from the controls when the dialog box is closed.

The default dialog box procedure handles messages for all the controls in the default dialog box, but the hook procedure receives the notification messages for user actions on these controls as described in Explorer-Style Hook Procedures. The Windows Software Development Kit SDK provides the default dialog box template for the old-style dialog boxes, but does not include the default template for the Explorer-style dialog boxes. This is because the Explorer-style dialog boxes allow you to add your own controls but do not support modifying the template for the standard controls.

However, in some cases, you may need to know the control identifiers used in the default templates. The following table shows the identifiers of the standard controls in the Explorer-style Open and Save As dialog boxes.

The identifiers are constants defined in Dlgs. You can customize an old-style Open or Save As dialog box by providing an OFNHookProcOldStyle hook procedure that receives messages or notifications intended for the default dialog box procedure. You can also provide a custom template to use in place of the default template. The hook procedures and templates used with the old-style dialog boxes are similar to those used with the other common dialog boxes.

Create the custom template by modifying the default template specified in the Fileopen. The control identifiers used in the default Find and Replace dialog templates are defined in the Dlgs. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported.
