Hi;

Does anyone know how to add additional items to the CFileDialog (open files) and how to handle the button pressed message?

Any help is very welcome.

Hi Jimmy,

thanks for your suggestions, but I found a simpler solution after reading the API documentation for common controls very carefully. Now I handle the registry keys available for selecting custom places in conjunction with temporary registry keys. This needed only about 20 lines of source code and is very easy to handle.
