Sure you can. Just use either the GetAt() method or the [] operator.

You will save yourself a LOT of trouble by reading up on the CString class: MSDN.

Why don't you save yourself a lot of grief and use strtol() instead?

Use CFileDialog::GetPathName() to get the path of the file. Then open the file. Then read the data from the file.

If you set the OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT flag for the dialog, you use the following code to iterate through the list of path names:

CFileDialog dlg(...); // use appropriate settings<br />
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)<br />
{<br />
POSITION pos = dlg.GetStartPosition();<br />
while (NULL != pos)<br />
{<br />
CString newPath = dlg.GetNextPathName(pos);<br />
// do something with newPath<br />
}

Is that what you are trying to do?

What list? Are you trying to read the contents of the selected file?

I use function _gcvt() for convert the double value to string such as:

y = 0.01;
_gcvt(y,10,buffer);
MessageBox(buffer);

My problem is that the MessageBox will show "1.e-002".
How to do if want the string "0.01" after finish this function.

you could try doing a sprintf.

y = 0.01;
sprintf ( buffer, "%f", y );

Use

instead.

Hi,
The below code for cfiledialog is have some problem. the problem is when i
press open many times the file dialog box opens ,but sometimes ( at any time ) when file dialog is open and if i press some starting character to select particular file ,the whole application closes automatically..

myclass::OnOpen() {
CFileDialog dlg(TRUE);

Sleep(50);
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK) {
l_strFileName = dlg.GetPathName();
MessageBox(l_strFileName);
filepath2 = (char *) (LPCTSTR) l_strFileName;
m_select.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
m_start.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
m_ed.SetWindowText(l_strFileName);

} }

What's this for? A gratuitous Sleep() is usually an indication of something gone wrong.

Exactly what steps are you taking to reproduce the problem? Does it happen with every folder, or one in particular? What character are you typing? Is Enter/Return clicked? Does the same thing happen with GetOpenFileName()?

You've got problems elsewhere that are manifesting at the point in which you are using CFileDialog. This code should run 20+ times with no troubles:

CFileDialog dlg(TRUE);
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
    AfxMessageBox(dlg.GetPathName());
