OpenFileDialog MyDlg = new OpenFileDialog( );

MyDlg.Filter = "*.doc";

MyDlg.IntialDir ectory = "\\temp";

Hi Yonas,

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear; rather than the file "location" I was
talking about the physical location of the window e.g. the center of the
screen.

Everything I've read so far states you can't inherit or extend these dialogs because they're "sealed". I considered building my own custom control, but I haven't been able to find: 1) How to add a "Places Bar" to a form 2) How to hook a Combo Box into System locations like the existing OpenFileDialog / SaveFileDialog offer (ie. "My Recent Documents", "Desktop", etc.)

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
