GetSaveFileName problem: can't get selected filter and put default name

[Leo]

I am using OPENFILENAME and GetSaveFileName to let user save a
document out. However, the default name won't show up in the dialog and
the selected filter can't be obtained (always got the default one)
after the dialog is dismissed. Any hint is highly appreciated!

OPENFILENAME ofn;
TCHAR defDir[MAX_PATH];
TCHAR filePath[MAX_PATH];
TCHAR* title = _T("Save");

ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(OPENFILENAME));

filePath[0] = _T('\0');
DWORD len = MAX_PATH;

DWORD flags = OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST|OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST|OFN_HIDEREADON LY;
ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);
ofn.lpstrFilter = _T("Text file (*.txt)\0*.txt\0Excel file
(*.xls)\0*.xls\0XML file (*.xml)\0*.xml\0\0");
ofn.lpstrFile = filePath;
ofn.nFilterIndex = 1;
ofn.lpstrInitialDir = defDir;
ofn.nMaxFile = MAX_PATH;
ofn.lpstrTitle = title;
ofn.Flags = flags;
ofn.hwndOwner = hWnd; // make it modal

if (::GetSaveFileName(&ofn) && ipChildren)
{
string filter(ofn.lpstrFilter);
string fileName(ofn.lpstrFile);

if (filter == _T("Text file (*.txt)"))
return SaveAsText(fileName, ipChildren);
else if (filte == _T("Excel file (*.xls)"))
return SaveAsExcel(fileName, ipChildren);
else if (filter == _T("XML file (*.xml)"))
return SaveAsXML(fileName, ipChildren);
else
{
Cout << "Wrong input!";
return E_FAIL;
}

Hello, You may recieve better answers if you ask your question in a
newsgroup dedicated to the platform specific code you are using (windows?).

Looks like windows code. Try microsoft.public.vc.language
