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".
