i am using CFileDialog for Open file dialog. But it is not showing all the filter name in the (files of type) dropdown box. Actually this problem is only with Win. XP and the same code is working fine with Win 7.
The code is

CFileDialog oFileDlg(TRUE, NULL, NULL, OFN_EXPLORER | OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT , _T("_T("Media Files (*.mgf;*.bmp;*.jpg;*.gif;*.tga;*.png;*.mif;*.tif;*.wbmp;*.tiff;*.bmi;*.paj;*.mat;*.jpeg;*.asf;*.avi;*.dat;*.divx;*.flv;*.m1v;*.m2v;*.m2p;*.m2t;*.m2ts;*.m4v;*.mkv;*.mov;*.mp1;*.mp2;*.mp4;*.mpeg;*.mpg;*.mpv;*.mts;*.mxf;*.swf;*.vob;*.wmv)|*.mgf; *.bmp; *.jpg; *.gif; *.tga; *.png;*.wbmp;*.tiff;*.bmi;*.paj;*.mat;*.jpeg;*.asf;*.avi;*.dat;*.divx;*.flv;*.m1v;*.m2v;*.m2p;*.m2t;*.m2ts;*.m4v;*.mkv;*.mov;*.mp1;*.mp2;*.mp4;*.mpeg;*.mpg;*.mpv;*.mts;*.mxf;*.swf;*.vob;*.wmv"), NULL);

any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Solution 1

are you missing the double pipe (||) at the END of your filter?

no double pipe is there at the end.
the actual code is
CFileDialog oFileDlg(TRUE, NULL, NULL, OFN_EXPLORER | OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT , __T("Media Files (*.mgf;*.bmp;*.jpg;*.gif;*.tga;*.png;*.mif;*.tif;*.wbmp;*.tiff;*.bmi;*.paj;*.mat;*.jpeg;*.asf;*.avi;*.dat;*.divx;*.flv;*.m1v;*.m2v;*.m2p;*.m2t;*.m2ts;*.m4v;*.mkv;*.mov;*.mp1;*.mp2;*.mp4;*.mpeg;*.mpg;*.mpv;*.mts;*.mxf;*.swf;*.vob;*.wmv)|*.mgf; *.bmp; *.jpg; *.gif; *.tga; *.png;*.wbmp;*.tiff;*.bmi;*.paj;*.mat;*.jpeg;*.asf;*.avi;*.dat;*.divx;*.flv;*.m1v;*.m2v;*.m2p;*.m2t;*.m2ts;*.m4v;*.mkv;*.mov;*.mp1;*.mp2;*.mp4;*.mpeg;*.mpg;*.mpv;*.mts;*.mxf;*.swf;*.vob;*.wmv|Bitmap Files (*.bmp;*.jpg;*.gif;*.png)|*.bmp; *.jpg; *.gif; *.png|Monarch Graphic File (*.mgf)|*.mgf|TrueVision Targa (*.tga)|*.tga|AVI Files (*.avi)|*.avi|MPEG Files (*.m2v; *.mpg; *.mpeg;*.mp4;*.m2p;*.vob;*.dat; *.wmv;*.mov;*.mp1;*m4v)|*.m2v; *.mpg; *.mpeg; *.mp4;*.m2p;*.vob;*.dat; *.wmv;*.mov;*.mp1;*.m4v||"), NULL);

nothing springs out, except that's a HUGE filter ... have you tried something simpler?

it is working fine with win. 7 but with XP the problem is...it just shows what fits to the width of dropdown box.
