center the GetOpenFileName

I'm in XP machine and I'm trying to center, by hook, the Open file dialog....
Ok... It's suppose to be like this one:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...opendialog.gif
but, the result is the one that comes with Win98
Here's my short version of my code:

Code:

UINT APIENTRY OFNHookProc(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch (uMsg)
    {
        case WM_INITDIALOG:
            {
                RECT r;
                int w, h, x, y;
                GetWindowRect(GetParent(hWnd), &r);
                w = r.right - r.left;
                h = r.bottom - r.top;
                GetWindowRect(GetDesktopWindow(), &r); 
                MoveWindow(GetParent(hWnd), (r.right-w)/2,(r.bottom-h)/2, w, h, TRUE);
                return TRUE;
            }
        default:
            {
                break;
            }
    }
    return FALSE;
}

// loading the struct
OPENFILENAME ofn;

ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(OPENFILENAME)); 

ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);
ofn.hwndOwner = hWndParent;
ofn.nFilterIndex = iIndex;
ofn.lpstrFile = lpbuffer;
ofn.nMaxFile = MAX_PATH;
ofn.lpstrFilter = "(*.*)\0*.*\0\0";
ofn.Flags = OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST|OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST|OFN_ENABLEHOOK|OFN_EXPLORER|OFN_ENABLEHOOK;
ofn.lpfnHook = OFNHookProc;
GetOpenFileName(&ofn);

Any ideas?

You could try adding this line above your #includes:

Code:

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500

This tells the compiler to use the newer structure size but will also make your program break on platforms earlier than Windows 2000.

@anonytmouse: Good spot :up: Although, still doesn't work

it seems that if you are wanting to hook the dialog (by setting the OFN_ENABLEHOOK flag). Then it's not possible for that 'places bar' to show up. I've made many attempts to try and overcome this but it seems it's not that easy to do.

There are a couple of ways which I can think of which would make it possible to center the dialog without hooking it, but they are very 'hackerish' and not advised. One would be to create a tiny dialog with the popup style, center that, then set that window as the parent... The other would be to create a thread which would use FindWindowEx() to retrieve the dialog's HWND, then use SetWindowPos(). As you can see, these are awfull suggestions..

Yeah, I though that also but... no luck at the moment
Anyway... I stuck on this, now :/
I'm poping the Folder dialog:

Code:

int CALLBACK BrowseCallbackProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, LPARAM lParam, LPARAM lpData)
{
	switch (msg)
	{
	case BFFM_INITIALIZED:
		{
			break;
		}
	case BFFM_SELCHANGED:
        {
            break;
        }
	default:
        {
            break;
        }
	}
	return 0;
}

bi.lpfn = BrowseCallbackProc;
bi.ulFlags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS|BIF_STATUSTEXT|BIF_EDITBOX;

Is it possible:
1.- Put the absolute path of the chosen folder in the edit box?
2.- If the user put another folder on the edit box, return that folder?

Thanks!
