I've create a string variable and set it to SaveDialog1.FileName but that contains the path and the filename. I know I could go through and find the first from the end of the variable and remove anything before it but there has to be an easier, less time consuming way, of doing this. In Delphi there was a property of the Save/Open dialogs that would automatically return only the filename and not the path, but, as far as I can tell, there is not one for Visual C++. Any help and/or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

[...] Please ask in 'microsoft.public.vc.language' - the designated Visual C++ newsgroup. 'comp.lang.c++' talks about standard C++, and it does not have "Save/Open dialogs", which makes your query off-topic.

Is that really difficult? You sould like one of those programmers who doesn't actually like programming. If you wrote a function to do this it would be five lines long (at most), would take you about 10 minutes, and then you would never have to write that function again.

If it's not a std::string, make it one. std::string FullPath = CStringReturnedFromUglyWindowsCode; Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         C++Talk.NET Forum Index -> C++ language (comp.lang.c++) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C/C++----------------C LanguageC Language (Moderated)C++ Language (Moderated)C++ language (comp.lang.c++)C++ language, library and standards Non-English C/C++ Newsgroups----------------C++ (German)C++ (French)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
