CDN_TYPECHANGE notification code

[Starting with Windows Vista, the Open and Save As common dialog boxes have been superseded by the Common Item Dialog. We recommended that you use the Common Item Dialog API instead of these dialog boxes from the Common Dialog Box Library.]

Sent by an Explorer-style Open or Save As dialog box when the user selects a new file type from the file types combo box.

Your OFNHookProc hook procedure receives this message in the form of a WM_NOTIFY message.

#define CDN_FIRST               (0U-601U)
#define CDN_TYPECHANGE          (CDN_FIRST - 0x0006)

Parameters

wParam

This parameter is not used.

lParam

A pointer to an OFNOTIFY structure.

The OFNOTIFY structure contains an NMHDR structure whose code member indicates the CDN_TYPECHANGE notification message.

The OFNOTIFY structure also contains a pointer to an OPENFILENAME structure whose nFilterIndex member indicates the one-based index of the newly selected file type filter.

Return value

This message has no return value.

Remarks

The system sends this notification only if the dialog box was created using the OFN_EXPLORER value.
