Hi I’ve converted VC++6 project to VC++ 2010 and I keep encountering error while displaying modal Open File dialog.
It shows bottom part of dialog but top is missing, also filter also is not populated.
header has public members for storing file information:
CString m_strFilePathName;
CString m_strFileExtName;
My code to show dialog:
static TCHAR BASED_CODE szFilter[] = _T("Open Bin File(*.abs)|")
_T("Default DataBase File(*.ddf)|")
_T("SatCodex File(*.sdx)|")
_T("Format Text File(*.txt)");
// TODO: Add your command handler code here
CFileDlg fd(TRUE, NULL, "", OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, szFilter);
//"Open Bin File(*.abs)|Default DataBase File(*.ddf)|SatCodex File(*.sdx)|Format Text File(*.txt)");
const int c_cMaxFiles = 1;
const int c_cbBuffSize = (c_cMaxFiles * (MAX_PATH + 1)) + 1;
fd.GetOFN().lpstrFile = m_strFilePathName.GetBuffer(c_cbBuffSize);
fd.GetOFN().nMaxFile = c_cbBuffSize;
// Dialog hangs on this line:
if(fd.DoModal() != IDOK) return;
Diagnostic returns: First-chance exception at 0x006c69cc in AliEditor.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000020.
Breaking while in hanging mode call stack returns this information:

Could anyone help me?
[Update]
As no one can help me at this stage, I’ve uploaded project to public place here. Can anyone download and tell me what’s wrong when I click open file?
The only problem that I can see is that your filter string looks incorrect. It looks like your code is based on one of the MSDN samples. And according to that sample your szFilter should look like this:
FYI I used http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/wh5hz49d(v=vs.100).aspx as a reference.
[update]
I created a small MFC app and pasted in your code. There is a typo in your code sample. The class is CFileDialog, not CFileDlg. I fixed it, then applied the change described above to fix the szFilter String. It works for me. The file dialog displays, I enter some data and dismiss the file dialog. No access violation, no assert. I think you need to look elsewhere in your code to track down the problem.
[update 2]
Ignore everything I previously said. Your original access violation is around line 174 of FileExportDialog.cpp
The real call stack is:
The program is crashing at CWnd::GetDlgItem because the CWnd “this” pointer is 0. This is because the first line of CFileExportDialog::OnTypeChange is GetParent() which is NULL because this dialog has no parent.
The class CFileExportDialog is not part of Visual Studio it appears to be based on some public domain code written in 1999 from http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-d/dislog/commondialogs/article.php/c1863/CFileExportDialog-Class.htm. And it looks like the implementation of OnTypeChange is based on the original developer reverse engineering the details of the Microsoft CFileDialog class as it was implemented in 1999. I’m guessing that the internals have changed in VS 2010 so that class is not longer useful.
Next time you run the program, set a breakpoint at line 177 of FileExportDialog.cpp. When you hit the breakpoint, single-step through the code and watch the crashes and asserts as the obsolete code attempts to do things it should never have been doing in the first place.
Recommend you dump the CFileExportDialog class and rewrite your program using the standard MFC CFileDialog class.
