CFileDialog Sample: Logging Event Order

This sample creates a custom dialog box that illustrates what events are generated when you create a CFileDialog. The events that are generated and the order they are generated in can vary based on two factors: if the CFileDialog is an open dialog or a save dialog, and if you are running on Windows Vista or earlier versions of Windows. This sample displays and logs the messages that are generated under any one of the four possible combinations.
