 Last reviewed: June 26, 1997

The information in this article applies to:
  • The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) included with: - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.0

SUMMARY

The description of the string returned by the CFileDialog member functions GetFileTitle() and GetFileName() in the Visual C++ 4.0 documentation is switched.

This documentation error was corrected in Visual C++ version 4.1.

MORE INFORMATION

The Visual C++ 4.0 documentation for CFileDialog::GetFileTitle() states: 

   "The title of the filename includes both the name and the extension.
    For example, GetFileTitle will return "TEXT.DAT" for the file
    C:\FILES\TEXT.DAT."
This is incorrect. Calling CFileDialog::GetFileTitle() for the file mentioned will return TEXT.

Similarly, the Visual C++ 4.0 documentation for CFileDialog::GetFileName() states: 

   "The name of the file includes only its prefix, without the path or
    the extension.  For example, GetFileName will return "TEXT" for the
    file C:\FILES\TEXT.DAT."
This is also incorrect. Calling CFileDialog::GetFileName() for the above file will return "TEXT.DAT".
