Working Directory

[Gary Nastrasio]

I'm using the OpenFileDialog class in my application and this changes my
current working directory (cwd) when a user selects a file to open.
Using MC++, how can I store my cwd into a String and then restore it
after the call to OpenFileDialog?

Thanks,

Gary

Gary,

Try setting the OFN_NOCHANGEDIR flag instead.

Hi Gary!

Why so complicated?
Just set the "RestoreDirectory" property of the "OpenFileDialog" to "true"!
