CFileDialog Sample: Logging Event Order

This sample creates a custom dialog box that illustrates what events are generated when you create a CFileDialog. The events that are generated and the order they are generated in can vary based on two factors: if the CFileDialog is an open dialog or a save dialog, and if you are running on Windows Vista or earlier versions of Windows. This sample displays and logs the messages that are generated under any one of the four possible combinations.

Security Note:
This sample code is intended to illustrate a concept, and it shows only the code that is relevant to that concept. It may not meet the security requirements for a specific environment, and it should not be used exactly as shown in applications or Web sites. Instead, we recommend adding security and error-handling code to make your projects more secure and robust. Microsoft provides this sample code "as is," with no warranties.
