Thread: OPENFILENAME ofn;

DEV-C++ case (a || b) interpretation...

it's weird... it only executes the case (a || b): statement if b is true but if it's a it goes to default...

btw... i've also declared it outside of the switch statement so.. this is not the problem =( i wish it was....

Post the error messages...

Code:

OPENFILENAME ofn;
ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(ofn));
ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(ofn);
ofn.hwndOwner = hwnd;

The error comes in the 2nd line of the code and if that line is deleted the error will appear again in every place where a reference to ofn is made...

error msg is: ofn was not declared in this scope...

but wtf how can this be it's just above the line where the error is..... why am i starting to think that the solution to this will be really stupid and simple and i'm going to be reaally ashamed mmmm? maybe not.. well let's see how all this turns out..

thanks again to everyone

Try this one. It wotks for me, and you will have the daclaration outside the WindowProc:

Code:

/* Displays a filelistbox */
int GetFile(HWND hWnd, char *achBuf, char *achFilter, char *achTitle){
	OPENFILENAME oFN;
	char chRet(0);

	ZeroMemory(&oFN, sizeof(OPENFILENAME));
	oFN.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);
	oFN.lpstrTitle = achTitle;
	oFN.hwndOwner = hWnd;
	oFN.lpstrFilter = achFilter;
	oFN.lpstrFile = achBuf;
	oFN.nMaxFile = _MAX_PATH;
	return(GetOpenFileName(&oFN)?1:0);
}

Edit:
Is ofn declared anywhere else in your code?

nope.. i'll try your option but i doubt it'll work *crossing fingers & opening dev-c++*...

Why not attach your .cpp file?
Others can download it and check what's wrong.
