Windows 10: Default filename wrapped around in Windows IFileDialog

When using the Windows IFileDialog interface to launch File browser dialog, I face an issue if the default filename provided exceeds certain number of characters.

The filename appears truncated, although it is simply wrapped around so that we can only see last few characters. It seems the issue lies with the Windows file browser dialog. Whenever the default filename provided exceeds 12-13 characters, it gets wrapped around.

Has anyone encountered such an issue? Is there any workaround?

OS detail:
Windows Enterprise 10, Version 1709 OS Build 16299.1625

Dialog snapshot:





Code snippet shared below:

This is the function that gets called from an MFC application when a button - "BrowseFile" is clicked.

void CCustomFileBrowserNewDlg::OnBnClickedBrowseFile
{
IFileDialog* pfd = nullptr;
IID id = CLSID_FileSaveDialog;

const COMDLG_FILTERSPEC c_rgSaveTypes[] =
{
{L"Word Document *.doc", L"*.doc"},
{L"Web Page *.htm; *.html", L"*.htm;*.html"},
{L"Text Document *.txt", L"*.txt"},
};


HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstanceid, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_PPV_ARGS&pfd;
if SUCCEEDEDhr
{
hr = pfd->SetFileTypesARRAYSIZEc_rgSaveTypes, c_rgSaveTypes;
if SUCCEEDEDhr
{
hr = pfd->SetFileTypeIndex1;
if SUCCEEDEDhr
{
//pfd->SetFileNameL"Filename.txt"; // This is okay
pfd->SetFileNameL"SomeLongFilename.txt"; // This name gets wrapped around
pfd->Show::GetActiveWindow;
}
}

pfd->Release;
}
}

Windows Mobile suggestion: Allow Apps list to wrap around rather than end

I don't know where to post suggestions for Windows Phone / Mobile and the MS site is simply terrible. So sorta posting this blind.

Almost too simple to suggest: When I look at the list of installed programs, I can scroll from "A" to "Z". But "Z" does not then continue on to "A". It doesn't wrap around. That's really clunky.

--> Please make this list wrap around, at least as a GUI option.

Thx

 

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild


Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.

If you want to suggest webmasters fix their code, then be my guest! :-D
