Parameters

hParentWnd

Parent window handle

lEdmBrowseFlags

Optional combination of EdmBrowseFlag bits

bsFilter

Optional filter string that limits the types of files displayed in the dialog box (see Remarks)

bsDefaultExtension

Optional default file extension to append if the user does not specify an extension

bsDefaultFileName

Optional default file name to display in the file name field of the dialog box

bsDefaultFolder

Optional path to the folder on which the dialog box should initially open

bsCaption

Optional caption for the dialog box

Return Value

If bsFilter is not empty, it contains the options for the Files of type combobox dropdown in the dialog box. Each option consists of a pair of substrings, where the first substring is the description that appears in the combobox dropdown:

All Image Files (*.JPG,*.BMP)

and the second substring consists of one or more extension filters delimited by semicolons:

*.JPG;*.BMP

The substrings are separated by a vertical bar, |, and the entire string is terminated with double vertical bars, ||.

For example, to give the combobox dropdown four options, including JPG and BMP file filters, specify bsFilter with the following string (without quotes):

"All Image Files (*.JPG,*.BMP)|*.JPG;*.BMP|JPEG-Files (*.JPG)|*.JPG|BMP-Files (*.BMP)|*.BMP|All Files (*.*)|*.*||"

Return codes:
