I thought he wanted to open a specific type of file. and that too using CFileDialog.

You don't open files with CFileDialog, that just allows the user to select the files he is interested in.

Oh yes... I meant the filters. Thanks for correcting me.

Well, you may have been right in your interpretation of the question as the post was not very clear.
