    Question 'Save' Dialog Box in console?

    Hey everyone,
    Alright I tried a search on this and I couldn't find what I was looking for. Is there a way to display the Windows Save/Load dialog boxes in a console program? I tried a CFileDialog thing, but that didn't work (MFC specific?). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    CFileDialog is part of MFC.....but in reality it's a wrapper around 2 API functions - GetSaveFileName & GetOpenFileName. There are threads on this board about them, and they are also discussed on MSDN - and you canuse them in a Windows Console App
