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".
