How to Set CFileDialog default path at DoModal?

[Landon]

I use MFC Visual C++ 4.2.

I want to set CFileDialog default path so when user click a button that will
do the dialog, the default path will be the one I set.

I have read the MSDN Library and there was only GetPathName. No SetPathName.

CFileDialog dlg( TRUE, NULL, NULL, OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST, "All Files
(*.*)|*.*||" );
if( dlg.DoModal() == IDOK ){

}

How to set the path?

Thank you very much.

Before you call DoModal(), you can set the initial directory by setting the
dialog object's m_ofn.lpstrInitialDir member.

See the current docs for the OPENFILENAME structure for changes in behavior
on Vista.

CFileDialog is a wrapper on Win32 Platform SDK structure OPENFILENAME.

"OPENFILENAME"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646839(VS.85).aspx

You may be interested in the 'lpstrInitialDir' field of that structure.

To access OPENFILENAME structure embedded in CFileDialog, you can use
CFileDialog::GetOFN() method.
