IFileDialog::SetFilter method
[SetFilter is no longer available for use as of Windows 7.]
Applies to: desktop apps only
Sets the filter.
Syntax
HRESULT SetFilter( IShellItemFilter *pFilter );
Parameters
- pFilter
-
Type: IShellItemFilter*
A pointer to the IShellItemFilter that is to be set.
Return value
Type: HRESULT
If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.
Remarks
This method can be used if the application needs to perform special filtering to remove some items from the dialog box's view. IncludeItem will be called for each item that would normally be included in the view. GetEnumFlagsForItem is not used. To filter by file type, IFileDialog::SetFileTypes should be used, because in folders with a large number of items it may offer better performance than applying an IShellItemFilter.

What we exepriment under Seven is that it does not work when we change folder using de libraries shortcuts... In fact, it work sporadically so it's confusing for end user. As developper we must know the alternative and it should not work sporadically.
If there is no alternative, we must know why you drop this functionnality so we can exaplain it to our end user (and by the way our end user are also your end user).
