clsCommDialogs.eOpenFileFlags EnumUsed in the [ShowOpen] and [ShowSave] functions
|
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT | &H200 | The File Name list box allows multiple selections. If you also set the OFN_EXPLORER flag, the dialog box uses the Explorer-style user interface; otherwise, it uses the old-style user interface. If the user selects more than one file, the lpstrFile buffer returns the path to the current directory followed by the file names of the selected files. The nFileOffset member is the offset, in bytes or characters, to the first file name, and the nFileExtension member is not used. For Explorer-style dialog boxes, the directory and file name strings are NULL separated, with an extra NULL character after the last file name. This format enables the Explorer-style dialog boxes to return long file names that include spaces. For old-style dialog boxes, the directory and file name strings are separated by spaces and the function uses short file names for file names with spaces. You can use the FindFirstFile function to convert between long and short file names. If you specify a custom template for an old-style dialog box, the definition of the File Name list box must contain the LBS_EXTENDEDSEL value. |
| OFN_CREATEPROMPT | &H2000 | If the user specifies a file that does not exist, this flag causes the dialog box to prompt the user for permission to create the file. If the user chooses to create the file, the dialog box closes and the function returns the specified name; otherwise, the dialog box remains open. If you use this flag with the OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT flag, the dialog box allows the user to specify only one nonexistent file. |
| OFN_EXPLORER | &H80000 | Indicates that any customizations made to the Open or Save As dialog box use the Explorer-style customization methods. For more information, see Explorer-Style Hook Procedures and Explorer-Style Custom Templates. By default, the Open and Save As dialog boxes use the Explorer-style user interface regardless of whether this flag is set. This flag is necessary only if you provide a hook procedure or custom template, or set the OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT flag. If you want the old-style user interface, omit the OFN_EXPLORER flag and provide a replacement old-style template or hook procedure. If you want the old style but do not need a custom template or hook procedure, simply provide a hook procedure that always returns FALSE. |
| OFN_EXTENSIONDIFFERENT | &H400 | OUT The user typed a file name extension that differs from the extension specified by lpstrDefExt. The function does not use this flag if lpstrDefExt is NULL. |
| OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | &H1000 | The user can type only names of existing files in the File Name entry field. If this flag is specified and the user enters an invalid name, the dialog box procedure displays a warning in a message box. If this flag is specified, the OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST flag is also used. This flag can be used in an Open dialog box. It cannot be used with a Save As dialog box. |
| OFN_HIDEREADONLY | &H4 | Hides the Read Only check box. |
| OFN_NOCHANGEDIR | &H8 | Restores the current directory to its original value if the user changed the directory while searching for files. This flag is ineffective for GetOpenFileName. |
| OFN_NODEREFERENCELINKS | &H100000 | Directs the dialog box to return the path and file name of the selected shortcut (.LNK) file. If this value is not specified, the dialog box returns the path and file name of the file referenced by the shortcut. |
| OFN_NONETWORKBUTTON | &H20000 | Hides and disables the Network button. |
| OFN_NOREADONLYRETURN | &H8000 | OUT The returned file does not have the Read Only check box selected and is not in a write-protected directory. |
| OFN_NOTESTFILECREATE | &H10000 | The file is not created before the dialog box is closed. This flag should be specified if the application saves the file on a create-nonmodify network share. When an application specifies this flag, the library does not check for write protection, a full disk, an open drive door, or network protection. Applications using this flag must perform file operations carefully, because a file cannot be reopened once it is closed. |
| OFN_NOVALIDATE | &H100 | The common dialog boxes allow invalid characters in the returned file name. Typically, the calling application uses a hook procedure that checks the file name by using the FILEOKSTRING message. If the text box in the edit control is empty or contains nothing but spaces, the lists of files and directories are updated. If the text box in the edit control contains anything else, nFileOffset and nFileExtension are set to values generated by parsing the text. No default extension is added to the text, nor is text copied to the buffer specified by lpstrFileTitle. If the value specified by nFileOffset is less than zero, the file name is invalid. Otherwise, the file name is valid, and nFileExtension and nFileOffset can be used as if the OFN_NOVALIDATE flag had not been specified. |
| OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT | &H2 | Causes the Save As dialog box to generate a message box if the selected file already exists. The user must confirm whether to overwrite the file. |
| OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST | &H800 | The user can type only valid paths and file names. If this flag is used and the user types an invalid path and file name in the File Name entry field, the dialog box function displays a warning in a message box. |
| OFN_READONLY | &H1 | Causes the Read Only check box to be selected initially when the dialog box is created. This flag indicates the state of the Read Only check box when the dialog box is closed. |
| OFN_SHOWHELP | &H10 | Causes the dialog box to display the Help button. The hwndOwner member must specify the window to receive the HELPMSGSTRING registered messages that the dialog box sends when the user clicks the Help button. An Explorer-style dialog box sends a CDN_HELP notification message to your hook procedure when the user clicks the Help button. |
